Judas Priest
They owe their fame to the lucky series "Police Academy" in the scenes at the Blue Oyster Bar. more
Blue Öyster Cult
They should go back to the Blue Oyster Bar!! more
Planet X
5 just for Quantum ...where coincidentally on the guitar we have Brett Garsed and Allan Holdsworth and not that pug Macalpine!!! more
Tony MacAlpine
The Mino Reitano of the guitar!! more
Il Cile
But stop throwing crap, he's a kid who writes good songs and does it sincerely. He may not be a great innovator, but he's better than the usual clean-faced kids with plenty of love. more
Miles Davis -A Tribute to Jack Johnson
Among the many masterpieces of Miles Davis, one might almost risk putting this gem in the background. For me, it's slightly inferior to the previous one, but it's still a whole lot of great stuff. Rating: 9 more
Black Widow -Sacrifice
"Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat. Satan's there!" Rating: 7.5 more
Van Morrison
Astral Weeks is one of my all-time favorite albums, it's hard to find a flaw in it. Then if you add Moondance, Veedon Fleece, Into The Music, A Common One, and No Guru No Method No Teacher, the 5 is a must. more
Gus Van Sant
Premise: I'm not particularly fond of cinema and I don't know much about it at all. I've seen the following films by this director: Elephant (extraordinary), Paranoid Park (one of the best movies I've ever seen), Last Days (meh...), Drugstore Cowboy (absolute garbage, it can't get any worse. Terrible). So I don't mind it at all. more
Jorma Kaukonen
When I hear the statement "Think about how your tattoos will look when you're old!" I always think of Jorma Kaukonen's back and his acid guitar riffs, too. more
Jack Casady
The one with the best look among all the Jefferson Airplane, as well as one of the most underrated bassists ever, probably. Great in tandem with Kaukonen in Hot Tuna, a spine-tingling bass/guitar combination (the two of them were doing amazing stuff with Tuna while the other mates were losing their inspiration with Starship). more
Marty Balin
I just say: "Comin' Back to me," one of the greatest masterpieces by J.A., is all his work. After "Surrealistic Pillow," he stepped back a bit in terms of composition, but he remained essential. His absence in albums like "Bark" and "Long John Silver" is definitely noticeable. Then he also kind of drifted off with the Starship, but who cares. Truly amazing. more
Devil Sold His Soul
They hit, they hit, they hit, but deep down they're softies. more
Il Cile
When I think of Chile, this comes to mind Gracias a la Vida not the latest shabby byproduct of Italians' music.

Paul Kantner
Jefferson has always been the one I liked the least (maybe it's envy since he fathered children with Grace Slick), but he did give us "Blows Against the Empire," no small feat, and he wrote (sure, in a trio with David Crosby and Stills, but it's -almost- the same) a masterpiece like "Wooden Ships." So let’s give him that 5, alright. (Of course, I pretend that the Starship, especially the '80s ones and the current ones, don’t exist.) more
Il Cile
ImbeCile. more
Frank Zappa
In the same year, he released Hot Rats, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Uncle Meat. I think that's enough. more
yes -Talk
Cute, but nothing worth remembering. (6.5) more
Yes -Open Your Eyes
Alongside "Times and Word," their least successful work. (6) more
The Verve -Forth
great album......... more
