The Beatles Let It Be

I think like Hal. I am against any musical dogmatism, but, making the necessary comparisons, even those not considered masterpieces by the Fab Four, within the narrow confines of five stars, deserve the highest praise.

So much on the table!! I’ll get back to it more calmly. MetallaroBuono tipped me off about Ellroy. I would add "American Tabloid" and "Sei pezzi da mille" to the recommended novels.

Undoubtedly one of the best singer-songwriter albums listened to this season.

Hal, you’re served. "Asteroid Belt" is the second sample, but as you'll hear, 30 seconds are of little use.

I don't know if this is the right answer, but I really like it. I want to delude myself that it's as you say. :-) Have a great weekend to you too.

Our El, as usual, is blunt. :-) So, you are in agreement with me regarding the Corals.
I’d be curious to know what you think, since you’re a fan, of my review on "Magic." Start from 2, though. ;-)

Thank you for the compliments, but it wasn't my intention to "attract them." However, you didn't respond to the specific issue. ;-)

P.S. The classic Latin expression, taken from Virgil's "Georgics" (4, 176), literally means, if it's lawful to compare great things to small ones (parva): Zappa=Tenor, with all due respect, would have been a bold statement. You understood the meaning. :-)

Thank you, Pacino, always so kind. I believe, however, that I am among the least commented on: should I be worried? :-))

With my usual slowness, I was preparing the review of the album in question. You know I’m an admirer of the Coral, and this work confirms their steady progress. It's one of the best pop-rock albums of the year.
