The Beatles
They were amazing. Certainly, pop rock music would have been different without them, probably better since the talented Lennon/Mc are among the most copied by talentless musicians. Also, they invented stocazzo. more
The Beatles
They invented me too, the one who is writing now. And they also invented the ADSL of course. more
Manu Chao
A character on the edge of ridiculousness, his music was quite insignificant. The created persona was annoying, perhaps not by his own fault; alternative kids had to be leftist and therefore had to listen to Manu Chao...without understanding a word of his messages. "Hi, I like Manu Chao because I'm leftist." I am leftist, and Manu Chao's music sucks... more
Oneohtrix Point Never
one of the best musicians to emerge in recent years, his albums are magnificent. The latest work "R Plus Seven" is fantastic. ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - R Plus Seven  more
Deep Purple
the King Crimson of hard rock! more
Deep Purple -Perfect Strangers
I have it and I keep it jealously. You could live without it, but having it is something entirely different. more
The Jam
Beloved in England, ignored in America, little known in Europe.
One of the bands I keep returning to for at least 25 years.
They never get boring. more
The Beatles
In the end, I believe the hardest thing is to write a melody that stays. Despite a website listing reasons not to consider them great, I’m not falling for it! No one before them has written songs as beautiful and complete; before, they were just little tunes, but with them, they became songs. more
Tommy Bolin
More than a talent, despite his young age he had already shown great versatility in multiple genres. What a shame... more
Glenn Hughes
A great character, starting off strong, but then like many, he fell into excesses that hindered his career. He was reborn at 40, producing one album after another, making up for lost time, building a respectable career between Funk (his passion) and Hard Rock. more
Lou Reed -Legendary Hearts
A good 3.5: for those who loved "The Blue Mask," here's a more diluted and less compact version. more
Bob Mould -District Line
I own it... unfortunately! Like the next (better) "Life and Times." A nice surprise is the latest "Silver Age," a welcome return to the sounds of the "Sugar." Rating: 2.5 more
Simple Minds -New Gold Dream
The emblem of the fundamental album. The '80s Synth-Pop, period. Derek Forbes, the man who taught a generation of bassists how to play and one of those who MADE the evolution of the instrument - in the genre and in the decade. If I had to choose ONE track (I would choose them all): "Big Sleep" - here they are, the '80s. more
John Lennon -Double Fantasy
Yoko Ono: "For this record, I wrote pieces like Kiss Kiss Kiss because I wanted to create something that resembled Lucky Number by Lene Lovich." What more can be added, everyone can comment as they wish... more
Peter Gabriel -II
I own it and I like it! "Controversial" album? Well... I've always liked it, many of the tracks hit the mark, maybe the production (Robert Fripp) didn't satisfy Gabriel himself... more
Popol Vuh -Affenstunde
frequency oscillators call the east more
Peter Gabriel -Peter Gabriel (melt)
good old Peter is being a revolutionary! more
Journey -Trial By Fire
Welcome back to form with the latest album featuring Steve Perry on vocals. All the ingredients are there for a fantastic "AOR," from the voice to Neil Schon's beautiful guitar, blending with the piano melodies of Jonathan Cain. more
