I only have this K.C. album, can anyone recommend two or three essential albums by this band? Thank you.

Dancing is another way of experiencing music, no less noble than pure and simple listening, Hal. Don't you ever tap your little foot to the beat?

Sorry Poletti, even if it's not related to the Jethro Tull, but what's so special about "Live at Leeds" by The Who? To me, it seems like a pretty ordinary live album... "Alive" by Kiss, just to make an example, is 100 times more explosive... I don't know...

Sure, Hal, trivial matters... anyway, I don’t think I was wrong in saying that many (re)discovered Cuban music with "Mambo Kings", years before the Buena Vista phenomenon exploded, and don’t just think about those who listen to the music, but also those who dance it... bye!!

Hal, I don't think there's any misunderstanding. These are two different perspectives on going back to the roots of the peasant and traditional sounds of Cuba. In "Mambo Kings," the sounds are highlighted, rearranged and reinterpreted, which brought Cuban music to the world in the 1950s; in "Buena Vista," Wenders and Cooder went to rediscover some specific artists. But I assure you that these are the same musical roots, seen from two different angles, since genres like "Son" or "Charanga" are the ABCs of Cuban popular music, both in "Mambo Kings" and in "Buena Vista." That's all.

Kate Bush Never For Ever

Enormous respect for Kate Bush as an artist (Wuthering Heights is uniquely beautiful, but she has written many other lovely songs and the latest "Aerial" is sublime!) and total agreement with green manalishi, Kate is still a great little mouse!

Vinicio Capossela Camera A Sud

Gilmour isn't that Capossela thinks he's alternative; he is actually alternative but not in the sense it was used in the '70s. Rather, considering that abroad we are represented by Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini, and Nek, he, even though he has roots in the historical singer-songwriter tradition, particularly Tenco, Paoli, and Conte, has managed to create a style (in lyrics, arrangements, even in his look if you like) that is clearly distinct from the "usual" De Gregori, Guccini, and so on. And even if lately he has accentuated his closeness to Tom Waits, you must admit that the sources of our singer-songwriters have always been different (Dylan, the French chansonniers, for example). Don’t you agree?

Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon

I throw out an idea: every week a volunteer reviews this album... or we could release a magazine series with an encyclopedia of reviews for "Dark Side," perhaps including, as a freebie with the first issue, a facsimile of the original prism cover, and maybe, for a slight extra charge, a copy of the rainbow emerging from the prism.
