I agree with nightwalker10, MKIII does not repeat MKII. The third lineup of the Purple was as great as the second; "Burn" is an amazing track and album. Perhaps the MKIV, the one with Tommy Bolin on guitar, was slightly less impressive, but on the other hand, that single album they made, "Come Taste The Band," is a very good record. Coverdale & Hughes brought a more Soul sound compared to the previous lineups. I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ASK, "MARK" WHAT DOES IT MEAN, IN ESSENCE?

Well, what can I say about Elvis? My mother would die for him; she has been listening to him since she was young, and I think he is one of the greats of music, but not the actual inventor of Rock. It’s more accurate to say that Elvis was an early valid representative of Rock music. Before him, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Fats Domino had already contributed to giving life to the greatest musical genre of all time. The box set is interesting; strangely, my mother doesn't have that one!

Here you see, you answered yourself in the first lines of the review. If the Beach Boys lost popularity in the psychedelic era because they chased after the girls dressed in Hawaiian shirts instead of protesting like the others. All those who criticize the Beatles, saying they were just a bunch of teenagers, would do well to take a look at the Wilson brothers (not that I’m saying the Beach Boys are bad; on the contrary, I enjoy listening to them a lot), at least the Fab Four did something avant-garde (apart from "Pet Sounds," which unfortunately I haven't listened to yet and which Brian Wilson created as a challenge to the Beatles, who had released the transformative album "Rubber Soul"). The review is much better than the other one and the album is very good.

Great review, really! When you say: "The Beach Boys' fame, already declining by 1964 (the year 'All Summer Long' was released), shouldn't entirely be blamed on the Wilson brothers (who indeed struggled a lot to completely renew themselves); the blame should be placed on the country, America (I realize this is a complex issue): let's suppose, if Kennedy hadn't died, if the Vietnam War hadn't happened, if the Berlin Wall hadn't been built, how much more would the Beach Boys have earned commercially? Probably a lot, and, I dare say, they wouldn't have nearly disappeared (in an artistic sense) around 1966 (the year of 'Pet Sounds,' which is an overrated album)," I'm sorry but I have something to say: if the Beach Boys were not having more success at that precise moment compared to a few years before, it’s because the generation was changing precisely due to the Vietnam War, the assassination of Kennedy, the many injustices that history was undergoing at that time, and as a consequence, a new form of rebellion was emerging, more artistically "elaborate," let’s say more provocative than the 20-year-olds who a few years earlier were walking around in jeans acting tough. So if the Wilson brothers & Co. had ridden that wave by protesting against the war and racism, like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Doors, the Jefferson Airplane, etc., you would see that their popularity wouldn't have faded.

ZiOn now I understand....sorry again...and what do you mean by "CLUB music*"?

The voice that utters the phrase at the end of the piece has all the characteristics of John's. The most varied and strange album of the Beatles, the Fab Four have once again proven to be great.

FOR FRANCY: As far as I know, this record has neither a cover nor content that is satanic, but it has many hints about the alleged death of Paul (you know the legend... right?). If you look carefully at the flowers on the cover, you'll notice they take the shape of the bass used by McCartney with three strings (according to those who support the theory of Macca's passing in 1966, this means something inside the band broke, but I don't believe it). If you hold up a mirror to the bass drum that says "SGT Pepper..." the reflection of the letters in reverse will reveal the phrase "He Die" with an arrow pointing at Paul. Inside the cover, where the lyrics of the songs are, I don't remember which page, the Fab Four are posed with McCartney facing away and seemingly taller than the other Beatles, which would suggest a replacement with a lookalike. In conclusion, dear Francy, I would like to say, for me this story is a huge LOAD OF BULL, an accident Paul really had between 1966 and 1967, but it was on a scooter. He fell and broke half a tooth and hurt his lip quite badly, and that's why he then grew his mustache to cover the scar on his lip. I believe he may have even gotten the "mysterious" scar (which at the time made people think of a more convincing replacement with a lookalike). PAUL IS LIVE...

ZiOn, look, if you know Trip, you're one step ahead of those who know nothing about psychedelia, but the Trip have leaned more towards Prog Rock. PS: WHICH QUOTATIONS ARE YOU REFERRING TO?

For me, songs like "London Calling" and "Rock The Casbah" by The Clash (of which I own the vinyl "Combat Rock") and "Shena Is A Punk Rocker" by The Ramones touch upon masterpieces; I really like them, even though my favorite genres are different. In short, my dear Lewis, it's worth mentioning that The Clash and The Ramones brought an "intellectuality" and precision to Punk that their contemporaries, the Sex Pistols, despite making history, did not. And then with the Ramones, Punk is of American birth, not English as has always been thought, because if I’m not mistaken, the Ramones debuted in '74....correct me if I’m wrong!

It's true that the decade '65-'75 is a great period for music production, but I also feel like including the year '64 (the year the "spark" ignites) and extending it until '77 (let's admit it, the Clash and the Ramones did create some good stuff).
