That is, how to build a style that will remain unique in rock blues à la Mark Knopfler, without selling out to commercialism, while maintaining an almost constant yet inimitable and distinctive line. Their beginnings trace back to Mr. JJ Cale and the group spirit that can be heard all the way to Communiquè. After the departure of David Knopfler (during Making Movies), they increasingly became Mark's band, which perhaps coincided with their extraordinary success. Notable mentions include Sultans, Telegraph Road, Tunnel, R&J, Planet. more

Who the hell are they? I found them just to see if some maniac had written anything about the Bastard Sons of Dioniso. From the name, it might look like a cover band. If anyone knows them, speak up, because you'll become my idol... more

Surely among the best bands, if not the best, from '92 to 2002. Absolute masterpieces of progressive like Images & Words, Awake, Falling into Infinity, and Scenes from a Memory. Of the highest caliber is Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Since then (2002) they have become nothing more than a sad commercial machine. They alchemically merge progressive with metal, creating a new genre: prog-metal (right in the midst of the grunge era). A perfect fusion of execution-compositional technique and feeling: brilliant. more

A writer of deadly skill (although not a great "narrator" in the strictest sense) who used eroticism merely as a shore to contain his creative river. Those who have not yet read "Tropic of Cancer" do not know what they are missing. more

So, the ratings would be: 5 until '97, 4 from '97 to 2006 (I've always liked Audioslave), and -257 in the last 2 years. I’ll give a 3 out of respect for his past (for me, he's been THE rock voice of the '90s) and I hope he’s still in time to redeem himself on the road to Damascus. Unfortunately, his voice will never return to what it once was, but he could still produce something listenable. I believe "Scream" is the most embarrassing album in music history. more

The curious case of Chris Cornell: he is remarkably getting younger. I’d rather waste lines talking about this than get closer to what he’s recently been putting out. I can only tell you that I watched the video for "Part of Me" and my heart really couldn't take it. From 5 until 1999, only to collapse like a house of cards in a very short time. Let’s hope for this reunion... more

The previous definitions are all correct in their concept: it is very pleasant to notice that a group inspires the same feelings in different people. I can simply say that they have changed my way of seeing music. Lateralus is not an album: it is a journey into the human mind. more
