Nik Kershaw
I would say that "meteor" fits perfectly. Not for the value, but for the number of songs (let’s say: annoying hits) that one remembers of him. more
Gioconda Belli
Nicaraguan poet and writer, guerrilla fighter and key figure in the Sandinista revolution of 1979, feminist and sensual. more
Aztec Camera -Knife
Not at the level of its predecessor despite the Knopfler production - but from the pen of Mr. Roddy Frame come at least two gems: "Just Like The USA" and "All I Need Is Everything". At 20 years old, to write at this level: it’s called talent, if not genius. more
Kenny Loggins -Celebrate Me Home
A debut solo of great class, with plenty of session musicians who at the time hovered around Steely Dan and the like. A very different artist from the one who would totally tarnish his image in the Eighties, between "Footloose" and that abomination "Vox Humana." more
Moby -Wait for Me
Great album with quite a few instrumental tracks. For me, it's better than the much-praised "Play." more
Moby -Play
The singles and not much else. I expected more. Anyway, it deserves a solid passing grade. more

Love in Elevator
...How these managed to open for Mudhoney is a glorious mystery to me... more
Soulfly
The debut and then nothing more. more
Scott Weiland -12 Bar Blues
The first time he was kicked in the ass by the (inferior) Stone Temple Toilets coincided with the release of the only well-crafted thing our guy ever managed to produce during his career. In between one Bowie imitation and another, 12 well-made tracks. The rating would be a 3.8. more
Ray Manzarek
Unforgettable keyboardist (and artist). A cliché definition, but it’s what I can say now.
Hello Ray. And thank you. more
Queen
“…you know, the first time I went to see them live, many years ago, they were still at the beginning, and everyone in the scene was saying great things about them. I didn’t even know a single song, but it took just a few minutes of the show for me to understand that those guys had talent, charisma, and a desire to stand out. A few days later, I met their manager and told him to hold on tight to them because they would go far.” - Pete Townshend, from "the observer historical interviews, 1988" more
The Byrds
Some call them "the American response to the Beatles"... Well, as a response, that's one hell of a winning shot!! more
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
The soft underbelly of progressive more
The Byrds
And to think I used to think they were crap… there's always time to make amends in life. Except with the Queen. more
Killing Joke
The Industrial is born here more
The Cure
nothing to say more
Sepultura -Roots
Spectacular start, then it drags more tiredly in the second half... furious rhythms, guitars with few ideas but many clumps, repetitively furious vocals, too long but it doesn't give a moment's respite... the hell of mud more
