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
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
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
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

good old Peter is being a revolutionary! more
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
It seems like an interesting reading suggestion. more
Respectable return to form for the group, generally regarded as a good effort by critics, features a couple of classics...neither too bad nor particularly praiseworthy. Rating 3.5 more
Great. more
Rating 3.5: full of little "Power Pop" gems, bought a while ago while traveling around Europe.
The next one includes one of their most catchy songs, "Crybaby." more
A small Power Pop gem from the late seventies, probably their most representative album. Inside, there are many "catchy" tracks. more
The first four albums by Cheap Trick can easily be bought as a package; this one is perhaps the least essential to own, yet it represents their last solid work. After this, there were many experiments... for those who love Power Pop. Rating 3.5 more
It's my favorite Dylan album. 'It's alright, Ma..' my favorite track. more

Rating 4.5: purchased in 1981 with a gift voucher, a classic...
"Fotografie" is stunning more
It was the first album I bought from the band, partly disappointed because I hadn’t found their debut; what a surprise to discover that in the end I liked it even more. Rating 4.5 more
Go straight past post-rock, then turn left towards free-folk. Keep going straight until the roundabout, take the third exit, and turn right at the traffic light. You can stop at the David Grubbs motel or head to the Jim O'Rourke bar to take a leak. Continuing down that road leads you to a junction: one way for Slint, the other for John Fahey. more
Extraordinary violinist and collaborator of equally prestigious colleagues. more
