Still plenty of groove and funk from these amazing musicians from Philadelphia. Must-listen tracks include "I Don't Care" and the bonus track "Din Da Da" featuring a more energetic than ever Questlove... more
Highly remarkable album of incredibly inspired Pop songs. No other superlatives come to mind, except for one, absolute: listen to it as soon as possible. more
Tyner, never heard anyone play the guitar so badly... but of course, when he dedicates himself to the piano, there's no one that can compare. One of the greatest in Jazz, a formidable left hand, a rain of notes like fiery lapilli from Vesuvius (you have to hear "Sahara", from 1972). more
I hate those wannabes who walk around in V-neck shirts to show off the tattoo they have on their chest. If the shirt is a Metallica one and they wear it just to show off, I hate them even more. If they have a shitty voice and insist on singing, let’s just say I can’t stand them. more
Sure, we've understood that your daddy is quite influential, but besides being blonde and pretty with the guitar, what else can you do? more
They owe their fame to the lucky series "Police Academy" in the scenes at the Blue Oyster Bar. more
They should go back to the Blue Oyster Bar!! more
5 just for Quantum ...where coincidentally on the guitar we have Brett Garsed and Allan Holdsworth and not that pug Macalpine!!! more
The Mino Reitano of the guitar!! more
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
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
"Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat. Satan's there!" Rating: 7.5 more
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
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
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
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
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
They hit, they hit, they hit, but deep down they're softies. more
When I think of Chile, this comes to mind Gracias a la Vida not the latest shabby byproduct of Italians' music.

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
