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
ImbeCile. more
In the same year, he released Hot Rats, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Uncle Meat. I think that's enough. more
Cute, but nothing worth remembering. (6.5) more
Alongside "Times and Word," their least successful work. (6) more
great album......... more
In its genre, a really cool album. High-quality Post HC/Crossover with melodies expertly blended in a New Wave memory. Nothing to do with crap like Limp Bizkit, Korn, and the likes. more
I wonder how I managed to get this far without them. more
