of course, pistol... with the difference that Soundgarden played a genre borrowed from the '70s that hasn't really developed much, in short, a dead genre (with all due respect for the garden) while the laments of J and Lou have helped to reinvent American music, to keep it alive and influence hordes of kids... they are still around and relevant, the sound garden has been swept away by itself and its own music, beautiful as it may be but deceased many years before...

Good morning... sorry Gardy, I read the whole debate because it’s similar to the one I just started with two people who were at San Siro to see Vasco... you will listen to all the music in this world (of which a large part is better than Blasco of the new millennium), but you’re the one who gave this album a 5, which, apart from a couple of tracks, is really mediocre... pathetic content, sounds old by a decade... not to mention that lux talked to you about the Negazione and their expressive urgency and you bounced back with something that is the furthest from them in the world...

We completely agree on Sandy Bull... and it's through lively discussions that new information and interesting perspectives always emerge. A friend downloaded Scaruffi's Beatles page for me a few years ago, and after reading and rereading it, I was... dumbfounded, because there was truth in his words. Clearly, much of what he writes is anti to begin with, so I reevaluated the whole thing, also taking into account the words of the old drooler... all this to say that it's always a pleasure to discuss with someone who talks to you about the Seeds, Sandy Bull, Animals, and even Ike Turner's bass... we could use more of that...

And I Laggio the term "picchiare" was meant to be ironic... as I believe (hope) your response is.

Since I have the mentioned records in their original format... I ask you not to believe Scaruffi even regarding the dates... for THE SEEDS Pushin' Too Hard Year of Release: 1966, which I don’t have in original, I went to look for it on eil.com, the most well-stocked seller of vinyl records in Europe...

@Laggio... a couple of clarifications regarding your post 101... if Helter Skelter doesn't seem metal to you, that's fair, and it's also fair to say that Blue Cheer were much heavier. As for Revolution, if you don't hear the reggae in it, give it another listen... :-)) Regarding the topic of dates/psychedelia, do some research before throwing out names and/or dates, because not everyone sells from the soap mountain. Them - Baby please don't go (the band's first single 1964...!) is not psychedelia even if you take an acid trip and loop it in your headphones; it's a fantastic black blues redone by the blackest voice of all among the whites (Eri c Burdon n.d.r.)... and by the way, I really need you to explain to me the psychedelia of House Of The Rising Sun by the Animals. On the Byrds, a minimal mention, but only for McGuinn's jingle-jangle even though they are well-known as the inventors of folk-rock (their psychedelia only arrives in '66 with Eight Miles High)... Let's spare a little pity on considering Sound of Silence as psychedelic... I know people both offline and online who would smack you for much, much less (and by the way, it's from '66), while I find it an emotional song, it is not psychedelic at all... and let's get to the only track that actually has something to do with it... Pushing Too Hard is a garage standard, with sounds that refer to psychedelia, but it's from '66 and from the same album (the self-titled debut) I preferred Can't Seem To Make You Mine... Then think about it however you like, but I repeat, don’t think you can fool people with names and dates thrown out there...

Tonight I'll get it, reviews and comments that are nothing short of interesting... "his voice resembles the sound of bones breaking" I have to hear it. I can't wait to put it in the soul finder.

Exactly what was said... @Doc thank you for the compliments and also thank the jury...

Which other white people had understood the importance of reggae and were always playing Revolution in the offbeat back in '68...?

and your idea is shareable as well as legitimate... but it's your idea. Tell me, who in '65 was making psychedelia at the level of Norwegian Wood or Nowhere Man from Rubber Soul or Day Tripper... or even more fully with Rain and all of Revolver in '66... then the others come along, certainly taking psychedelia to other planets, but to say they contributed nothing seems like a giant absurdity. Deep Purple reworked their songs in various ways to help bring hard rock to life... not to mention Helter Skelter, which whether we like it or not was heavy metal in '68... then they only did one because they had too many territories to explore to focus on just one... that they are not the inventors of everything is clear, but that they contributed nothing to any genre outside of pop is to have salami in your eyes and bacon bits in your ears.
