An honest artist with good compositional skills. A rose in the midst of the manure of American mainstream. more
Another group by Roy Montgomery. more
Maybe I even prefer them to the Dadamah! more
Use the guitar like a brush, to paint watercolors of melancholic landscapes. An unmistakable style. more
The perfectly light and harmonious vocals of Déjà Vù by CSNY are, I don’t believe, ever matched by any other group (perhaps only in Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys). This is the true cornerstone of the album, where 4 different identities come together to create a melancholic record with folk and country nuances, while still incorporating more electric and lively passages: probably the true aspect that makes this album a landmark and a symbol of the West Coast. more
The uniqueness of a touch you can't confuse: just think of "Rusholme Ruffians," "Barbarism Begins At Home," and (among many others) that crazy ups and downs of "This Charming Man," and that final break on the high E (!)... s-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-i-o. more
Four brainy minds for a single great project. "Déjà Vù" (1970) the highest peak of their art and the greatest representative of the American West Coast. more
Well Oiled: one of the best albums of the 90s. more
Amen. more
With their music, they demolished buildings. The dirtiest, heaviest group of Sub Pop. more
maximum score only for "You're Living Over Me" and "BUG", the subsequent works are very disappointing more
Great artist and impeccable Curriculum Vitae. Maximum score without a second thought. more
I will never tear my ears off for them, but in the end, I like almost everything. I've never understood what’s so great about Nevermind; for me, it’s just a nice little disc and nothing more. Bleach is my favorite, it’s an amazing record; but I also think In Utero and Incesticide are good works. In short, they made a very overrated album, but I wouldn't want the fiercest detractors to end up underestimating them, that would be the height of irony. more
Z_Z_Z_Z_ZOMBIE! "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" are two great films; other works might be more for fans, his and the dumb and friendly zombies in history. Like yours truly (a fan, maybe dumb, but not a living dead though). more
If it weren't for a couple of mediocre albums and some chord progressions rehashed in different styles, they would be remembered as the punk rock band of the '90s and 2000s. Still great, though. more
It's a real shame that this Sub Pop band broke up in the early months of 1991... With 1 album, 1 EP, and a handful of singles and various bootlegs, they were "shot" straight into the mythology of independent music. more
Sings too, think! Speaks too, think! And thinks too (...?), think! more
Jimi is not dead; God asked him to give him some guitar lessons. more
Nanna Giannini. more
Ugly as death and as pleasant as a finger in the ass. more
