Cheap Trick In Color
Voto:
Ruined review from a couple of colossal patches about Boston and Steely Dan. Valuable and intelligent pop rock music filled with many things and, above all, a lot of love, respect, preparation, and the ability to synthesize.
Led Zeppelin Kashmir
Voto:
Thank you, and I would like to point out that the 2008 performance of Kashmir at the O2 arena in London, also released on CD and DVD, is truly worthy and moving, beautifully powerful with Bonham's son playing his part.

Battiato singing Bridge Over Troubled Water is way funnier.

Chicco, you're a blast. But the junkie Goodsall is a drag... him and the Brand X guys. In my humble opinion, I'd mention a lot of other misunderstood geniuses of the "guitar": Ollie Halsall, Ian Crichton, Ty Tabor, Barry Bailey, Audley Freed, Guthrie Govan, Paul Kossoff, Terry Kath, Derek Trucks...
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Mojo
Voto:
Great record. I play with my band the Zeppelin-esque "I Should Have Known It" (with the guitar tuned to open G... so cool!) and the bluesy "Good Enough," in which I go wild during the final solo, while the other guitarist who plays with me takes care of the one in the middle.
Vanilla Fudge Vanilla Fudge
Voto:
Human disco after the inhuman Steve McQueen, perhaps the best pop album of the eighties. Paddy with an infinite talent. I love this band, but they could have given more.
Vanilla Fudge Vanilla Fudge
Voto:
The Vanilla Fudge had the sound, they had the technique, they had the vision (a kind of progressive metal imagined twenty years earlier) but they didn't have the songs, the compositions, the melodies. Extremely important for musicians, because they dominated their instruments with an unbeatable flair at that time, but much less significant on a conceptual level. They were reproducers, mixers of other people's ideas, so focused on the international scene and its insights that they couldn't break free and think for themselves. A sort of Dream Theater of the time: jaws dropped at the first and second tracks, interesting at the third and fourth, irrelevant from then on. A group of enormous didactic and technical importance, but without its own message.
Lenny Kravitz Lenny
Voto:
The best album by Kravitz, by far. The usual clever yet crafty blend of soul, pop, and rock, hedonistic but in its own way respectful of the masters he's chosen, works here and delivers four or five excellent little songs. This nonsense about electronics that covers and ruins everything is nowhere to be found: here there are guitars, bass, and drums at 90%, used in a straightforward but effective way.
Cutting Crew The Scattering
Voto:
Sure, there is no comparison between the two groups in question for me either. Marillon are a bit tedious, even though they deserve the utmost respect. Just swapping their singers would balance the situation...
