Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: Damn the Torpedoes

When the sound technician was asked, "But how did such a perfect sound come about, with the guitar and the piano and the organ sounding like a single instrument...?", the sound technician replied, "I don't even know myself..."

    Great band. The little commercial "Learning to Fly" even drives me crazy. The extraordinary thing is that this (in my opinion) is one of those groups that can truly bring everyone together.

It falls just short (but not by much) of the stellar debut two years earlier. Great songs - my favorite remains "Magnolia," although the rock'n'roll hits like "When The Time Comes" and "I Need To Know" make an impression. The melody and guitars of the Byrds in the punk era.

    I like Tom Petty, the Byrds definitely don't.

    Aside from a couple of albums and his involvement in that fun Traveling Wilburys project, I have never really gotten to know Tom; it's time to catch up!!!!!

The perfect soundtrack of 1981 in Manhattan. Besides being my favorite of his. "There's A Reason," "Mr Blur," "Mary Marie"... more than just an album, a milestone in Guitar history.

Listened to it again yesterday, and the minutes literally flew by. It's not my favorite of his solo works, which - by a narrow margin - remains "Dreamtime", but it does include a classic like "Kingdom Come", the typical groove of "The Grip Of Love", "Last Night", and something MASTERFUL like "Breakin' In My Heart" - a guitar duet with the late, unforgettable Ricky Wilson.

    I don't mind Flash Light either, if I'm not getting the title wrong...

    You're not wrong, and I agree. The entire '80s are a showcase of gems.

    Tom Verlaine belongs to that type of rock guitarists and songwriters, controlled and rational, focused more on the aesthetic and citational aspect than on the commonly expressive one. This solo album is proof of that; it represents the continuation of the Television sound.

The greatest Tommy Lee of all time. Period. A true masterpiece of the "frontier" genre, among the most beautiful of the last decade; the cherry on top is the presence of the late Levon Helm.

A classic, no doubt about it. It’s not my preferred genre, but when an album includes "Rosanna," "Africa," "Make Believe," and the groove (!) of Porcaro-Hungate in "Waiting For Your Love" (which is also my favorite track), it deserves the highest accolades. Lukather is exceptional, among the best guitarists of his generation.

    They played great, there's no denying it.

    Seen in Milan last summer, they still sound amazing. The best Californian touring band ever.

    the mind is still David Paich, considerably overweight. Lukather, on the other hand, still plays the suave charmer with the girls.

When it comes to Rock, Peruvians know a thing or two — and then some — because they not only boast great proto-garage bands from the '60s like Los Saicos, but also delicious psych-freak-folk material well represented by these gentlemen. 1970 - an outstanding album that tele-transports San Francisco to the Andes (or the Himalayas..?).

    A noteworthy mention that piques my curiosity quite a bit... Peru = Andes... I was really good at geography.

Every now and then we COME BACK, perhaps, to listen to these records... and for those who haven't done so yet, well... it might be worth considering, because this is not exactly ordinary stuff. Davis, California, 1983. The home of Dream Syndicate and Thin White Rope. Do the math, 2+2.

    Great band, I had another album, sold years ago, I don't remember the title. I don't think I've heard this one, I believe, the cover doesn't ring any bells.

It is superfluous to spend any more words on a record already widely delivered to Legend, except to say that when one John Adler, known as TWINK, former drummer for Tomorrow and Pretty Things, and at the time with the Pink Fairies, decided to record on his own (but with SOME guests)... this work of pure FREE FORM underground emerged: noises, psychedelia, visions, delirium... the Deviants' recipe elevated to apotheosis.

    one of the best albums of visionary psychedelia. An essential album for fans of the genre.

    I am speechless at this immense work, one of my touchstones for my mind greatly devastated by desecration and expressive freedom. Over-vitamin for the creative madness of the "different" soul!

(an incomplete title) a completely different Bolan from the well-known one of "Electric Warrior" & Co. With Steve Peregrine Took, he made his first appearance immersing the grooves in a manic orgy of Afghan blues, caravan rhythms, and lullabies for the nomads of Central Asia. A work much closer to Uzbekistan than to London in '68.

    beautiful, a work very much tied to its time. Heard today, it is very naive music, showing all its years. This is its greatest charm.

    more than anything, tribal hippie hymns, of the Age of Aquarius, dandy stuff, all very cult, but 5 stars is too much.

    On the vote, I more or less agree with the review on the board. I also agree with what Gianluigi says: hippie but not rhetorical, naive, scrappy, almost unclassifiable in the end to deserve a 3, a 4, or a 5. Also historic, because it's one of the strangest records to have topped the charts - but after four years, when Marc was already the glam icon we all know (another story)...
