Nice little disc... adds nothing, takes nothing away... but who cares? A pleasant diversion...

I agree that the fgth phenomenon was more media-driven than anything else. But it's a great album. As for the '80s, well... the fact that they are still so fiercely debated means they were anything but insignificant. In fact, they meant almost too much, for better or for worse... for purely sentimental reasons, I certainly prefer the '80s messes to the messes of our (bland) era... as for serious stuff, well, the early '80s produced some of the best things that happened to music. Shall we talk about Jesus & Mary Chain, The Smiths, early The Cure, X, just randomly citing examples within pop? Then there’s experimentation. There's hardcore (negation uber alles!). There's so much more and yes... there is also shit. But where, I ask, isn't there?

Rolling Stone is unworthy of being read... it has some nice photos, from time to time... Blow Up is definitely out of the ordinary. The fact is that often the bands (oops, maybe they would be offended if I called them that) to which it dedicates extensive space, I make an effort to listen to... but most of the time they seem quite self-indulgent to me... anyway, let's stick to personal tastes... Blow Up is definitely the most courageous magazine. But it’s not enough. When Rumore was born, it was, in my opinion, a good compromise... now it's dreadful... Rockerilla has always been rock (after all, the name). I admit I have never understood anything about a review in Rockerilla... my own issues, perhaps...

Anyway, I like the first two albums by Oasis... The Gallaghers annoy me a bit, and I have no intention of putting them on any pedestal. But they did have some nice songs in the beginning... then it was a total collapse...

You thought about it, but come on... hehehe... anyway, you’re fighting over f, but have you seen the super long line at Steve Vai’s meet and greet? Now that’s a clash of titans...

It seems to me that everyone here is taking it a bit too personally. Francis is free to consider RW a great artist (which actually raises some doubts for me). Anyone is free to say that RW is an idiot. But saying that F is an idiot for listening to RW seems out of place. We’re discussing music, aren’t we? It’s not so different from saying someone is an idiot for voting left, as the heretic whom the punisher compared me to would say... gabba gabba hey...

I don't understand a thing about processors. When it comes to records, I would choose, I choose Kraftwerk. Stockhausen (still to stick with the infelicitous example I used) I listen to, I appreciate intellectually, and I place him in his rightful spot in the history of music. A spot that no one can take from him. I listen to Kraftwerk because I prefer (and therefore consider better, certainly) the song format over improvisation or silence. But we're back to my tastes again. On higher matters: there are always two moments. The genius (mostly misunderstood) who has the idea. The epigones who, watering down that idea, make it palatable to the public and create the fertile ground for the next step to sprout. Both moments are necessary. I, I repeat, I put on Kraftwerk. In fact, while we're at it, I put on the Ramones...
