Alice Cooper: Trash
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Hearing it today fills me with nostalgia and little else, but back then I really liked it a lot, and then in the Poison video there was a model with two pumpkins who deserved a monument.

Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina: Elis & Tom
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Bossa Nova is a beautiful, vibrant music genre. Just like how life changes. If someone had told me that sooner or later I would come to love it, and quite a lot, back when I was younger and had Iron Maiden constantly in my ears, I would have planned a drowning in barbera within a few years.
Elis Regina's voice is incredibly warm. Great rendition of Águas de março.
Bob Dylan: Higway 61 Revisited
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
First big feast organized by Dylan for lovers of surreal landscapes. Another one will follow shortly. Just a bit, but I prefer this one more, even if 'Like a Rolling Stone' is getting on my nerves a little.

    Among others, we have people like Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield involved, I’m mentioning only the stunning “Like A Rolling Stone,” one of Dylan's great masterpieces.
  • hellraiser
    30 oct 13
    Excellent from start to finish, apart from "Rolling," the true milestones present in this album are "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Desolation Row," wonderful and surreal. Then to the trilogy "Subterranean Homesick Blues," this and "Blonde on Blonde" are landmarks in the history of music.

    Everything is very beautiful. Among this person's various masterpieces (there are 5 or 6, I guess), this one is THE masterpiece. My personal opinion.
  • EverardBereguad
    31 oct 13
    Of the triptych of wonders, my favorite is 'Bring It All Back Home'. I don't know why, but I'm crazy about Subterranean... and It's Alright, Ma... In this 'Desolation Row', it’s a dreamlike journey like few others.
Bob Dylan: Bringing It All Back Home

It's my favorite Dylan album. 'It's alright, Ma..' my favorite track.
Carmen Consoli: Mediamente Isterica
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
I like it. Period.
In my opinion, with this album she pointed out a new path for female rock in Italy. Then she got lost. "Sentivo l'odore" is a huge song for me.

    "I could smell"......a singer's trash can. Annoying like few other things. On average, anyone who hears one of their records becomes hysterical.

Deep Purple: Come Taste The Band
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I miss Blackmore, but I still like it a lot. 'You Keep on Moving' and 'Gettin' Tighter' are among my favorite tracks in the Purple realm.
Fabrizio De André: Creuza de mä
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
As a rather lukewarm listener towards de André, but a lover of this particular album, I've noticed something over the years. In my opinion, the innovations it contains have not yet been fully grasped. The die-hard de André fans I know consider him "ahead" simply because it’s sung in dialect. Nobody mentions that he is ahead for the work done on the sound of the words, because this time he wanted to communicate more through their sound than through their meaning.
Free: Free
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Cover whose sight can make your tongue itch, a worthy container of a rich half-hour of excellent Rock Blues. 'Woman' is a truly great track.
Free: Highway
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It seems that when it was released, it was a flop in terms of sales. I didn't experience the ups and downs of the Free firsthand, and I only care about their music. This album has at least three of their best songs in my opinion (The Stealer, Be My Friend, Love You So), so that’s a 5.
Free: Fire And Water
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Many know of the existence of Free solo thanks to 'All Right Now'. They have made better songs in my opinion. 'Oh I Wept' is one of those.
  • ranofornace
    25 oct 13
    They have created a wealth of hard blues from "Tons of Sobs" to "Heartbreaker," essential to the genre in question, with the great Paul Kossoff and Paul Rodgers, of course.
  • hellraiser
    26 oct 13
    I have always liked them; it's true what you wrote, excellent songs beyond "All Right Now" that often get overlooked... anyway, I really like Rodgers' vocal tone and I'm a big fan of his even in Bad Company, another great band. Plus, if Blackmore wanted him for after Gillan in Purple, there must be a reason for that...
Funkadelic: Maggot Brain
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The solo of Maggot Brain should be played for many hyper-technical guitarists to let them know that the guitar can also be used as a musical instrument and not just as a tool for masturbation.
Genesis: Abacab
CD Audio I have it ★★★
An album that rubs many fans the wrong way, but I personally don’t mind it; it's definitely better than the ones that followed. I especially like the intention, the pursuit of a drier sound. Three really great tracks, an overall charming mess, two enjoyable pieces, two to toss aside, and one unbearable (No Reply at All).
  • pana
    28 may 14
    I have to say, maybe "no reply at all" is my favorite song of the bunch... I can't stand, for instance, the title track.
  • hjhhjij
    28 may 14
    No, I actually agree, but I don't understand which are the two pleasant tracks; to me, they all feel insubstantial. Ah, this album has two not bad outtakes. "Submarine" and "Naminamu."
  • EverardBereguad
    28 may 14
    Yes...pleasant, to be understood more than anything else as listenable. They would be "Keep It Dark" and "Man on the Corner." The latter I like even though it's the typical drag of Pippo Collins; I don't even know why myself.
  • rolando303
    28 may 14
    The best of the worst.
  • hjhhjij
    28 may 14
    Well Everard, this is from 1981 and in the end the whines on "Face Value" were definitely better than the ones here, like "Man on the Corner" which is actually the best of the worst on the album. I can't stand "Keep it Dark," though.
  • templare
    29 may 14
    Vinyl that I still own (birthday gift!!). I was 21 and I was very harsh on them. That is, on this trio that was prostituting itself for the god of the pound. Dull record, insubstantial and therefore, for me, useless. They would do worse, though... to this day, I haven't changed my mind much. From then on, I started to steer clear of Collins, a pop singer and wasted talent.
  • hjhhjij
    29 may 14
    "poppettaro" poppettaro with a fixation on soul and R&B, even if under his hand such influences became plastic. And, poppettaro, not until 1981.
  • hjhhjij
    29 may 14
    Even when it comes to wasted talent, in short: between 1970 and 1980 he was the drummer for Genesis and Brand X, played on three albums by Brian Eno (Taking Tiger, Another Green World, Before and After Science), performed with John Cale, Peter Gabriel, Robert Fripp, played and sang for Hackett and Phillips and also with someone else, and from 1976 to 1980-82 he was also a good vocalist. He jumped between very different genres even concurrently (see Genesis-collaboration with Eno) and continuously. In short, I don't see the waste :D After that, he went downhill, but it happens to a lot of artists, unfortunately. Of course, he really went downhill...
  • templare
    29 may 14
    Of course, the pre-Abacab Collins remains untouchable. Then, as a drummer, he’s not up for debate (like collaborations with Oldfield or Tears for Fears, for example). But the solo Collins (let’s let the first Face Value slide...) is unbearable. As Scaruffi would say: never was so much talent wasted...!
Genesis: Foxtrot
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I recognize that this is probably their artistic peak, although I prefer the lamb for a thousand reasons that go beyond the purely artistic context. In my opinion, Supper's Ready is the most beautiful suite in the prog realm, and the apocalypse section is certainly one of the highest points of the genre.
  • rolando303

    "Without words by ranofornace"
  • paolofreddie
    28 nov 13
    My absolute favorite rock album :) The best of the best... I agree with you on Supper's ready. How can one overlook a masterpiece like this? 23 minutes of bliss. Foxtrot represents the peak of prog, the summit that no one else has ever reached, in my opinion. In the court of the Crimson King is a step lower.
Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Among all the possible questions aimed at discovering a person's musical preferences, the only one I could answer with some certainty is: What is your favorite album?.
  • ranofornace
    10 oct 13
    For my tastes, I honestly prefer Genesis up to Selling England by the Pound; after that, the increasing "musical prolixity" makes them difficult for me to decode. The sound space filled with enriched and contrapuntal themes and motifs becomes almost unbearable for me, yet it’s still a great album.
Genesis: Nursery Cryme
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Hackett-Banks duels straight out of a fairytale in The Musical Box and The Return of the Giant Hogweed, Victorian lyrics, great Collins, and the final guitar solo in Fountain... which, although brief, would be enough on its own for a 5.
  • ranofornace
    2 sep 13
    forced to save just one Genesis album? Nursery Cryme! A synthesis of creativity, eclecticism, formal balance.
  • SydBarrett96
    2 sep 13
    Forced to save only one Genesis album? All of them up to 1977, including Live and (especially) bootlegs.
Genesis: Wind & Wuthering
CD Audio I have it ★★★
It would be a 3.5. I round down because I simply can't forgive them for 'Your Own Special Way.' To those who asked about Hackett's frustration with the lack of consideration given to his ideas, Rutherford replied that only the best they had available ended up on the Genesis albums. Nonsense. With a piece like 'Inside and Out' at their disposal, including that piece of crap from Pluto can only seem like a 'political' rather than an artistic choice: Banks wanted to show off.
  • TheJargonKing
    9 oct 13
    I agree with you regarding the wrong political choice, but not on the final judgment. W&W is a great album for me, and the beauty of some tracks cannot be overshadowed by the little mishap of Your Own. Moreover, considering the year of its release and what was happening in the prog world, this album is one of the best things from the era of decadence. For me, it’s a 4.5 rounded up to 5, but I might be a bit biased.
  • I'll conclude what I wanted to say; there wasn't everything in the previous comment. I think a bit differently than you. The 3 is justified by other things as well. Banks sometimes goes a bit overboard; I don't think the lyrics of 'All in a Mouse's Night' would have made it in Gabriel's time, and personally, in the otherwise excellent 'One for the Vine', I hear a bit of craft. And then there's the flop 'Wot Gorilla?'.
Hawkwind: Space Ritual (disc 1)
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Live among the finest, complete with instructions on how to behave in case of a sonic attack. There’s so much stuff to indulge in, I prefer most of the tracks over the studio versions.
  • ranofornace
    1 aug 13
    Really a great live performance, especially the execution of the album "Doremi Fasol Latido," which reaches absolute expressive peaks here. Hawkwind (the Grateful Dead of England), a cult band from the underground across the Channel, included the legendary poet Robert Calvert among its members right here, expressing a lysergic rock of spatial emanation, with obsessive harmonic reiterations directed towards a very captivating "essentialist" synthesis.
Joni Mitchell: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
How many fabulous pieces: In France They Kiss on Main Street, The Jungle Line, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Harry's House. As far as I'm concerned, it's on the podium among Mitchell's most beautiful albums.
Joni Mitchell: Shadows And Light
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
My vote goes to both the album and the video. It’s among my three favorite live albums. The band accompanying the Divina is top-notch. The versions of 'In France They Kiss On Main Street' and, especially, 'Edith and the Kingpin' are far superior to the studio ones.
  • Psychopathia
    5 aug 13
    I have the double CD version. The nice thing is that there are many tracks from ejira... it's just a pity that some pieces from the concert weren't included. The single CD edition is unnecessary.
  • It seems to me that the album is missing the track with the Pastorius solo. A lack that, I don't want to be blasphemous, but I don't think detracts much from the album; Pastorius has certainly done better.
Joni Mitchell: Blue
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I'm one of those who prefer the jazzy Joni, but it's impossible to give less than five to Blue. Her songs are truly like tattoos. They stick with you forever.

  • ranofornace
    15 nov 13
    Cunnue...Baez? No, with all due respect to the Great Joan, I don't agree if that's who you mean. Mitchell has a singing resume that goes beyond classic American singer-songwriter style. Plus, she was quite the "bonazza."
Joni Mitchell: Court And Spark
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It’s incredible what a series of fantastic albums Magnifica managed to produce in the 70s. In my opinion, this is another masterpiece, perhaps just a notch below those from the Jazz period and "Blue," but still superb. There are already the first signs of change, and then there’s “Free Man In Paris,” and just this alone would be enough for a 5 in my book.

Mitsuru Adachi: Rough
Cartaceo I have it ★★★★★
I passed the age for manga a while ago. But this I occasionally reread with pleasure and a bit of nostalgia. At the time of its release, we read it with only a few friends, and the publication was spotty. I liked it a lot, a sort of adaptation of the story of Romeo and Juliet set in late '80s Japan. Beautiful.

Great little guide on human madness. Gabriel skips the middle ground and goes much deeper than the PF in Dark Side, in my opinion.

    Immense for lyrics and musical insights. Masterpiece.
  • SydBarrett96
    2 jun 14
    Masterpiece yes, but in my opinion it has nothing to do with Dark Side or Pink Floyd, except for the underlying idea (isolation, human alienation, etc.); anyway, for me it remains an immense album. *Tum tum tum* Aaaah, ah! (it should be "Intruder"). :)

    But in fact Everard was talking about the general theme ;)
  • SydBarrett96
    2 jun 14
    Ah, I didn’t understand. XD
  • The comparison is not so unlikely; it's a concept similar to that of the PF, and the underlying argument is roughly the same. I say he goes deeper because if it were possible to play the PF album for someone who didn't know either English or the PF, they wouldn't have the slightest idea of what the album is about. The same person would be able to frame the themes of Gabriel's album quite well.

Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel IV

The diamond tip of good Peter, fully loaded with bank debts and ideas in his head. In a video that I believe is titled "IV - how I did it," you can see him wandering through dumps collecting sounds to feed into the fairlight, in order to derive sounds and rhythms for the album.

Four stars because I prefer the 'Italian' versions. There are the lyrics by the King Crimson's lyricist, but for me, singing in English is not their job. In PFM's albums, I'm not looking for amazing lyrics but good music. For the version of Celebration, I have to give up the intro with the break, which I think is a really nice thing.
