The review is pleasant, but in my opinion, it underestimates the first Parker too much, who a few years before the punk explosion was, with his Rumors, one of the most successful artists in England, precisely because of that proletarian and aggressive rock spirit that influenced many kids who were already playing, like Joe Strummer, who with his 101ers revisited the abrasive mix of R&B and rock 'n' roll of Parker. However, while a character like Costello has evolved and carved out his own style, Parker has remained true to that blend over the decades. It's clear that his albums with the Rumors grab you instantly even if you don't know him, but by 1980, he didn't have much left to say, earning only four stars...

The review seems to be a summary of those found on the web about this album. This is a great record, but Led Zeppelin had the damned habit of making hard versions of blues pieces (twisting them) while cleverly keeping the old titles. Legend has it that Page and company invented hard rock, while many forget or ignore that the year before, "Vincebus Eruptum" by Blue Cheer was released, and they were kicked out of the Fillmore for making too much noise. Listen to Leigh Stephens' solo and the rhythm of Peterson and Whaley in "Doctor Please" and reconsider the idea of who really invented hard rock.

Hi Melissa, I’ve been out and about for races; Sunday was brutal (talk about a vacation): Dolomiti Superbike, 120 km off-road with 3800 meters of elevation gain to climb on a mountain bike, a tussle with Germans and Swiss, and a final downpour on the descent to Villabassa... It’s true what you say about the Cramps as the opening act for the Police, but I assure you there were people who paid for the concert just to see the Cramps and left without watching the Police... hehehe

Don't rack your brains trying to find the genre; the Cramps solved the dilemma by writing on the back of the vinyl cover: File under Sacred Music....

That the MC5 are somewhat obscure is a fact, considering that 99% of people stop at "Kick Out the Jams" and don't know a killer rock 'n' roll album like "High Time." That said, the reviewer has every right to find the anthem track by Kramer and company nice and catchy, to think that their version of We Gotta Get Out of This Place is better than the great Eric Burdon's, and that the cover of Born to Be Wild is more modern and expressive than the original by Steppenwolf; just as I have every right to consider him, without fear of contradiction, a fool. This live performance is still better than the one from '75.

...not to mention a group of hardcore black reggae heavy funk who were a force of nature, the 24-7 Spyz...

Fottermeier, the one with the helmet, was really amazing! And why not mention, listen up... the Primus?!?

it's not that, it's just that Sublime have little to do with crossover groups in the sense we mean

The Sublime? I thought we were talking about kick-ass crossover bands... who remembers the meteoric Sweet Lizard Illtet? I still have their album that thanks half the world, starting from Afrika Baambaata all the way to the Weather Report...
