U2 The Joshua Tree

Jim, "The Joshua Tree" by U2 is rock. Everyone says so (read some serious music reviews once in a while). If you don’t think it’s rock, that’s your business. Where would all this billion of bullshit be? Why did I say it’s powerful rock? 80% of the world population says so. You are in the minority; either do something to make your voice heard or remain in the minority, mute and silent.

I said that the album is a little dark, not dark in the strict sense. "The Joshua Tree" is still considered a masterpiece by pretty much everyone (just look at the charts, specialized magazines, music encyclopedias), but I see that everyone who hates this album has come here. Jim Morrison, the Doors were fantastic, no one doubts that, but it’s not like they were the only ones. Then again, it comes down to personal taste, of course...

I'll try to listen to it, Piergiorgio, but I have a feeling it might not go well. I consider the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's" to be the greatest album in the history of music. It's a matter of opinion, of course.

Rust (Underground) Come With Me

DeBaser can sometimes work wonders. Who the hell is Rust Underground? That was the first question that popped into my mind. I read the review, and the mystery became even thicker. If you type "Rust Underground" into Google, a bunch of sites come up; anyway, since you all think he's good but not great, maybe it's not worth spending a few hard-earned euros to buy one of his albums. Or am I wrong?

Cream Disraeli Gears

Voto:

Well, what can I say, great album. When Cream focus and commit, they are unbeatable: the divine "Sunshine of Your Love" alone is enough to understand the greatness of this album. Frequent wonders in the music (especially the drums) and in the lyrics (Jack Bruce paired with Pete Brown works miracles). A psychedelia that would make even the most seasoned psychedelic enthusiasts envious.

Fabri Fibra, that's Ok? Oh, yeah... But go catch the rats

The Beatles The Magical Mistery Tour

Voto:

Certainly less successful than Sgt. Pepper's (but I'm biased, for me Sgt. Pepper's is the greatest album in the history of music), it is an originally double album that contains 90% of absolutely timeless songs ("Strawberry Fields Forever," "Penny Lane," "Hello, goodbye," "All you need is love"), and 10% of some nonsense ("Your mother should know"). Anyway, high musical quality, as always.

I only know the group by name, and the album is completely unknown to me. However, back in those days, there were at least a thousand beat and psychedelic bands, and who can say who was better than whom? Of course, the Beatles had more success, yet there were bands that could have made it big and didn’t: it’s not that they weren’t good, it’s just that maybe they either didn’t interest the public or didn’t have the right connections.

Discounted vote, charismatic group, wonderful album. Very technical review, almost too much.

Country Joe & The Fish Electric Music For Mind And Body

20 jun 06

Voto:

A cornerstone of Californian psychedelia, a historic meeting between folk music and acid rock with some notable political overtones. All thanks to the genius, often misunderstood, of the musical leader Joe McDonald, an important figure in the San Francisco music scene, better known as a controversial agitator (to many) rather than as an (excellent) singer. This will be followed by the equally excellent "I feel like i'm fixin' to die," before he fades, somewhat sadly, into a more somber anonymity.
