Fire on stage, in the music, in the lyrics, but above all in the balls. If there's a God to worship only when drunk, that is Arthur Brown. more
For Roy Wood, they were the last step towards the ELO, for English music one of the most eclectic and polymorphic bands of the late '60s. more
One of the most overlooked and fascinating ensembles of early English prog. Brilliant, unique, rare. more
A loser, a featherweight Californian kid who can't play a damn guitar decently. In two words: the Last Rocker. more
I mean: Twelve Angry Men (1957) (The Word to the Jurors) more
Masterpiece more
The first American prog album to enter the Billboard Top Ten, and rightly so: there isn't a single piece out of place, technique, inventiveness, and passion illuminating the individual performances, Steve Walsh's vocal range, an example for a myriad of colleagues, and the magical touch of Robbie Steinhardt's violin giving it its trademark sound. When I think of The Wall, only this album comes to mind. more
Well, here I even have the cover of "Wine & Roses" showing up, and whatever... anyway: if this isn’t a solid 5, I don’t know what is. "John Coltrane SB" in the legend of American rock, and the rest of the album follows suit—starting with the super acid (and rocky) shuffle of the title track. Steve Wynn at the peak of his songwriting, already hinting at his talent as a songwriter. Can we ignore it? Never. more
The Last Prophet more
Different from the debut but equally perfect. Classy pop jazz halfway between salsa, samba, and Afro-Cuban, an inspired crossover more focused on the song model and less on the jam. Not a single flaw, goosebumps galore. 10 out of 10. more
"The most honest form of plagiarism in pop music, with no pretension of originality" (B.G.). But aside from everything, I've always wondered how a musically mediocre figure, by his own admission, could have conceived a piece like "Victims," which is worthy of the best Style Council. more
I prefer "Cursed be the day I met you". more
I prefer: That Obscure Object of Desire more
by Ridley Scott more
Forget about God; Lennon performed miracles and he really existed. more
The best band ever, in my opinion. The emotions they reveal, the story they've written, the melodies I keep listening to and that will never tire me, will stay forever. more
Certamente! Sono pronto a tradurre il testo che desideri. Ti prego di inviarlo così posso procedere. more
Certo, invia il testo e procederò con la traduzione. more
What a drag those who say "better the Barrett era" are, but if you like psychedelic rock, you can't help but love the Barrett period, well... because it's practically him who invented it. Everything that comes after, from Gilmour onwards, is a different band. more
Space Rock from visions, a Kilmister who is a bassist through and through like he hasn't been in a long time (Lord of Light!), and generous beers. Fantastic. more
