Best artist of the seventies secondo DeBaser.

❝ "Led Zeppelin? What's that?"

❝ "Best Band, Ever"

❝ Is it possible to listen to “My Generation” without screaming and shaking?!

❝ Less than forty minutes, but an actual punch in the stomach, a pure distillation of that thing that someone called Rock and which instead I like to call Rock.

❝ LOVE REIGNS ON ME.

❝ The mwandishi Herbert Jeffrey Hancock —the watermelon man & the great finger dancer of the Blue Note âge d'or— gathered a band of headhunters armed with percussion instruments of Mother Africa and whatever else could be used to coax the spider out of the hole (and that spider is us, lazybones elites); he made himself comfortable in front of rainforest keyboards, clavinets, synthesizers, donned a tribal mask (or a boiler with horns? both: a pressure cooker full of hyperagitated afrofunk) and began the hunting season.

❝ "Cantaloupe Island" is known by everyone, even those who claim they don't know it: those who are now around twenty will remember the sampling in "Cantaloop", male members who have eyes to see will remember Rossella Brescia's backside and therefore, by association, also the piece that serves as the soundtrack to her strip.

❝ The title alone says it all: this is an album completely centered on groove.

❝ The albums of this quintet are an orgasm.

❝ The result is an indispensable and moving work, which a year ago saw the release of the Sony/Bmg Legacy edition in dual disc format, sold in millions of copies worldwide and which some critics claim represents the actual Bible that every enthusiast should know.

❝ Miles hits hard too, but in a silent way.

❝ Santana is sweat, it is eroticism, it is shaking your ass to the relentless rhythm even if you're at a funeral.

❝ So let's confidently be guided by our expert shaman and embark on this adventure called "Caravanserai."

❝ This album should be listened to with company, because it must be danced to.

❝ Ornette Coleman had the idea to remove the shackles from jazz once and for all.

❝ I say there is no ‘right’ way to play jazz.

❝ An aesthetic adventure, that's free jazz.

❝ I will have no other Floyds besides Syd!

❝ Goodbye Cruel World (of Business).

❝ The Dark Side Of The Moon is not only the compositional and musical climax of the post-Barrett group's experience

❝ The question here isn’t whether you own 'Made In Japan', but: which version do you have?

❝ The Deep Purple, then! Even though they are all more or less in their sixties, except for Steve Morse, our guys manage to rock like never before.

❝ I am "selfish," I wish that Deep Purple had stopped making records after "Perfect Stranger";

❝ Brain Salad Surgery, in its vast power, in its meticulous rehearsing perfection, is in some ways a necessary evil.

❝ This album sucks. And it stinks, too.

❝ Emerson, Lake & Palmer concerts were simply overwhelming: perhaps rough, perhaps approximate, but overwhelming.

❝ “If Oscar Wilde had ever founded a rock band, it would probably be very similar to Roxy Music.”

❝ “For Your Pleasure is an alchemical work where the High meets the Low and lead transforms into gold.”

❝ “Among the best live performances of the era. A must-have!”

❝ Unmissable, for aficionados and not.

❝ How much I adored that refined touch, that artistic elegance, and the style always precise and impeccable.

❝ The true gem of this album remains "Tears In Heaven" – inspired by the tragic passing of his little son – and a timeless hit.

❝ Ian Anderson and the others have not yet stopped delighting the ears of connoisseurs with their very own progressive rock, based on the extraordinary versatility of an instrument more typical of classical music than rock: the flute.

❝ And in the introduction to this album, Ian Anderson states that Wight wasn't the best concert of their lives, and I sincerely remain perplexed because both in terms of sound quality andperformance, we are at absolute levels.

❝ Under Wraps is Jethro Tull's worst album: cold, too technological, not acoustic enough, not melodic enough, and especially lacking the flute that made the band famous.

❝ When the alien DavidBowie, restless astronaut of the deepest spaces of the human soul, encounters the musical architect of perfect cosmic spaces BrianEno, an extraordinary album emerges.

❝ HE'S OUTRAGEOUS, HE SCREAMS AND HE BAWLS

❝ We know, David Bowie is not a man of this planet, not in a strict sense, at least.

❝ If only one adjective could be used for B.O.C.'s music, I would undoubtedly use: VISIONARY.

❝ Secret Treaties will make Blue Öyster Cult appreciated even by critics.

❝ "It's the nexus of the crisis / and the origin of storms."

❝ Elusive as the unconscious, indefinable as a free-associating stream of thoughts.

❝ I think that listening to ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ makes life better.

❝ But at 80, his distinctive voice remains as powerful and remarkably emotional as ever.

❝ “The Lynyrd Skynyrd that once were will never exist again.”

❝ “Music is all we have and know. If it hadn't been for rock'n'roll, we would have gone to pick cotton.”

❝ “Don't tell me nonsense. You know it. You know it better than I do. Even the stones know it. Lynyrd Skynyrd has not existed since 1977.”

❝ The historic meeting between two legends of electric blues, an unmissable album, an unforgettable jam session, an extraordinary and unfortunately unrepeatable event... all this and much more in this wonderful CD/DVD that is absolutely unmissable for anyone who loves blues and good music.

❝ Albert King: one of the most important and influential bluesmen of all time, perhaps always a bit overshadowed by the rivalry with his coeval friend B.B. King, but certainly not less important than the great "Blues Boy";

❝ The godfather of electric Blues, ladies and gentlemen, Albert King.

❝ Probably, Thin Lizzy is the most underrated band in the great rock landscape of the seventies, overshadowed by the quadrumvirate Zeppelin/Purple/Sabbath/Uriah Heep that reigned supreme among the fans of Albion.

❝ Thin Lizzy: arguably the most underrated band of all time.

❝ This Black Rose: A Rock Legend, from ’79, is seen by many as the swan song, the last noteworthy one before the personal problems of the individual musicians engulfed everything.

❝ "On the Beach" is Neil Young's masterpiece: the work in which the threads of his aesthetics magically converge, through an astonishing sonic alchemy.

❝ Le Noise should be listened to at night when darkness takes over your sight and you remain solitary with your doubts and thoughts.

❝ An epochal record, essential for every rock music enthusiast who doesn't already have the dozen-plus albums on their shelf from which these songs are taken.

❝ "Layla" the song is a masterpiece, without which "Layla" the album would be reduced to a state of complete disregard, in line with the commercial flop it experienced at the time.

❝ The tracks of this live album were taken from the two dates of October 23 and 24, 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York...

❝ This double album is a long and heartbreaking love letter to his muse Patty, alias Layla, from the first song to the last.

❝ Offramp remains a historic CD in Metheny's production, clean, perfect, emotional.

❝ Throughout the album, you can hear and feel the characteristics that made this group famous: well-crafted dynamics, fresh and never banal melodies, complex and studied harmonies, a particular taste for minimalism, and improvisation.

❝ The breaking down of musical barriers led, in 1987, to the composition of what is considered by many to be one of the guitarist's highest musical/artistic expressions, and it is with this 'Still Life (Talking)' that Metheny reached one of his creative peaks.

❝ Life is strange.

❝ And that "Pink Moon" is a masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Bryter Layter is a very beautiful record. Perfect. The best I have ever listened to.

❝ A magnificent album, an immense ... MASTERPIECE.

❝ Unique and unrepeatable, Mc Coy Tyner.

❝ "This is a dedication to a man, a friend, a teacher - John Coltrane"

❝ If one were to send a couple of dozen CDs out of the Milky Way as a testament to the best music ever produced by Humankind, the choice would be truly daunting, starting with the selection of "genres" to include or not.

❝ he is the Grand Master Supreme Dispenser of secrets in this noble art.

❝ First, buy the record, it’s essential.

❝ Frank Zappa remains nevertheless one of the greatest Composers of the 20th century. Period.

❝ Sheik is essential; it’s true that the orchestral suites of The Grand Wazoo are a work of art, but Sheik is mandatory; it’s true that Over-nite sensation is a revolution, but Sheik is inevitable.

❝ Many know the Free only for their worldwide hit “All Right Now”, and it's a real shame.

❝ A roaring boom greets a random note, an almost intimidated "Hello" and one of the most famous riffs of the '70s.

❝ All Right Now - an extraordinary piece, with incredible drive, with a sharp and indelible riff, very current, undoubtedly the emblematic track of Free and a true generational anthem.

❝ Legendary 70s British rock band, Bad Company are recognized as the inventors of AOR.

❝ What more can be said about Bad Company... nothing, it bears repeating: a voice of unique beauty, agility, and masculinity; three or four ideas per song, no more, but often more than meaningful; gorgeous guitar sounds, not a note more than necessary according to the blessed “less is more” rule; rhythm section on the same wavelength, powerful yet economical, not a single extra note, not even under torture. Minimalists, subtractive.

❝ “Rough Diamonds” is an incredibly banal album, stereotypical and devoid of any convincing idea...

❝ “Like an underwater song sung by dolphins beneath the ocean surface.”

❝ “I am madly in love with pop music. Many great composers are inspired by folk, I am inspired by pop. I'm not saying I'm a great composer nor that pop is a form of folk. But for sure, pop has generated a never-ending flow. You can also build your little pond, but if the pond is not connected to the river, which in turn flows into the ocean, sooner or later it will dry up. It will become little more than a piss. And I have lived too long to be happy with a puddle” Robert Wyatt.

❝ “I was deeply struck by something I had read about the organogenic marine mud on the ocean floors: in the abysses there are things just as strange and bizarre as those we imagine on Mars” (Robert Wyatt)

❝ 53 minutes of real delight, of pure art exposed by those who know how to do art well.

❝ Beautiful cover by Hipgnosis studio.

❝ It’s difficult if not impossible to find a weak spot: the Genesis funeral is postponed indefinitely.

❝ “One of the things I am most proud of, in my heart, is that Black Sabbath was not created by any big shot... we were four losers who wanted to try to make a dream come true, which ultimately did, exceeding all expectations.”

❝ Black Sabbath practically invented heavy metal out of nothing.

❝ We were not hippies, and we hated the hippies

❝ Every now and then, cyclically, tied to some unknown event (seasonal, spontaneous, mental), Nico returns to my life.

❝ Nico's music is timeless, and it's just a trivial detail that "The Marble Index" ("Chelsea Girl," I don't even consider it) was released in '68, because it could have come out yesterday or a hundred years from now.

❝ Nico was one of the most mysterious and fascinating figures in the history of rock.

❝ They’ve been in the same formation for over fifty years, damn: maximum respect.

❝ "Eliminator" is the eighth studio album by the Texan trio ZZ Top, and their most known and appreciated work.

❝ Long beards.

❝ At least that damn record still sounded like it used to.

❝ Some say they do it better than anyone else, others say they’re now pathetic, and some, like me, claim that this is the true classical music of the late twentieth century, together of course with the best jazz.

❝ This album, despite being recorded under the most terrifying conditions and remixed an indeterminate number of times, remains one of the main cornerstones of the Rolling Stones' discography.

❝ "The River In Reverse" is a well-conceived, classy, elegant album, looking back at the glorious past of the music born in this land.

❝ "My vocation in life is to be irritating! Not something actively destructive, just something that irritates, that disorients".

❝ Published in 1989, "Spike" symbolically marks the beginning of a new era in Elvis Costello's career.

❝ “Nobody knows / if it really happened.”

❝ “Are we supposed to be or not to be..”

❝ “Going places, smashing faces / What else could we do?”

❝ I am lost, I am silenced, I am blind - I am drunk with sadness, drowned by madness - the wave engulfs me, the mirror repels me - the echo of your laughter crosses the mirror - and I am alone - no friendship, no comfort, no future, no home - the past freezes inside me.

❝ Over is the ultimate expression of the Manchester artist, Over is a record that has always existed (how many works exist on the theme?) that was just waiting to find the right artist to crystallize it in the best form in which it could be conceived, and that is Peter Hammill, as few are skilled with human torment and feelings

❝ Peter Hammill – PH7 – 1979

❝ And Abba know how to compose a chorus. These guys know what they’re doing. They know how to build a song.

❝ it is an album that essentially celebrates the era of discos, warm and carefree nights.

❝ Listening, savoring every single note of this record has the same rejuvenating effect as a cool shower after a hot, sticky day

❝ Thus, the daunting task for Blondie was to open customs between pure New Wave and pop-dance "degenerations," the same customs that would be crossed in the following years by others (with different outcomes, including the Talking Heads and Patti Smith).

❝ Champions of the New Wave and great friends with the legendary CBGB scene, they were undoubtedly the ones who achieved the most mainstream success thanks to their carefree manner, being excellent songwriters, more than decent musicians, and the unforgettable image of Debbie Harry.

❝ "Autoamerican" is the most ambitious album by the New York band; it is indeed a work that lays its foundation on a very particular sound mix.

❝ This is love, I admit it.

❝ An album composed and played in a state of grace.

❝ Reel To Real is the DNA of Simple Minds.

❝ “The world is a beautiful place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part...”

❝ “Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.”

❝ “You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank, you're not the car you drive, you're not the contents of your wallet, you're not your fucking khakis, you're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world!” - Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt)

❝ My relationship with "Starless And Bible Black" is instead on another level of values, being the album that has most contributed to developing my way of perceiving music over the last twenty years.

❝ “Delay” is the great lost album of Can.

❝ “Packaged at the Inner Space facilities in Cologne (Germany) in 1972.”

❝ The perfect album.

❝ One of the most pleasant qualities of "Mirage" is its fluidity without necessarily being simple, its immediate pleasantness without being trivially catchy.

❝ The album is inspired by the eponymous story by writer Paul Gallico.

❝ Before concluding, I just want to add two words for the great "CameLatimer": "DON'T GIVE UP!".

❝ “A legendary voice, which has indelibly marked rock music. His records are the object of a cult, also due to his tragic ending at only 28 years old, on June 29, 1975.”

❝ “No one has ever managed to create the void around the voice like Tim Buckley did”

❝ “Starsailor is the unattainable, and the way to get there, Starsailor is not a difficult or easy album, it is not rock, it is not jazz, it is not even music.”

❝ “The Neu! would have changed rock 'n' roll even if they had broken up immediately after recording the first track of their first album (Hallogallo)” Julian Cope.

❝ “Neu!2”, wonderfully failed records.

❝ This is the first case of a remix in the history of music.

❝ Jeff Beck plays everything on the electric guitar; his hands bang the bridge, tremolo arm, headstock, the string remnants between the bridge and the tailpiece, and those between the nut and the headstock tuners, then the wah wah pedal, the slide thimble sliding across the strings using not just the left hand but sometimes the right, constantly using the volume and tone knobs and the pickup selector.

❝ Here, it borders on the absurd, but in the most positive sense of the word: after listening to this work, one is left astounded; there are no words to describe what Beck has managed to accomplish with the guitar and how naturally he was able to put his soul, his passion, his energy onto vinyl.

❝ In many respects, Jeff is the greatest electric guitarist of all time: his touch and sound are princely, unmatched; his approach to rhythm and melody is intriguing and surprising...

❝ A shocking listen, an innovative and extremely bold album, another reason to accept Gabriel's long-past and completed defection from the Book of Genesis.

❝ what emerged is the absolute masterpiece of Peter Gabriel, a work that goes far beyond its original function as a soundtrack, assuming a deeper meaning, that of authentic sacred music, a term usually understood in a classical sense, associated with solemn organs, majestic chorales, and heavenly solos.

❝ What's wrong if a record sells a lot? Nothing, it would seem.

❝ Thus "Third" is born, a superb monument of experimental music and the entire art of the Twentieth century, a swan herald of a sudden dawn, a rainbow framing an autumn sunset, a blazing comet in boundless skies.

❝ "Playing now is lovely here in the BBC"

❝ Hang your ears on the handles of your umbrellas, you will be hit by a rain of electric and reckless sounds!!

❝ A masterpiece. There's no more suitable word to describe this album, which includes some of the songs that have made rock history and still know how to move us today.

❝ Journey are the pioneers, the founders of AOR.

❝ Thus, this is a record for only completists, die-hard fans, and the curious.

❝ “Take me Caravan…Yes, I know you can”.

❝ “dreams are always ending far too soon.”

❝ “IMPORTANT NOTICE: I KNOW, THIS IS THE FIFTH REVIEW OF THIS ALBUM. I TRIED TO BE MORE PERSONALIZED, LET’S SEE.”

❝ If a bunch of music critics got together, watched, selected, evaluated, left the room, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best rock music performance of all time," then there is clearly a reason.

❝ Your life is your own You're in charge of yourself Master of your home In the end In the end You have to face it alone

❝ "A night at the Opera" is Queen's masterpiece.

❝ “Neither jazz, nor rock, nor jazz-rock, fusion, cross-over, or other useless and banal labels, these are the Weather Report, theirs is the music of the Weather Report.”

❝ “‘This is the baddest shit on the planet!’ said Joe Zawinul when, at CBS, he heard the lacquer of the record before it went to print.”

❝ “this record is a piece of music that one MUST absolutely own.”

❝ Says I PLAY THE MUSIC I AM.

❝ Charles Mingus was, after Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, the greatest composer that jazz has produced. And he was also the greatest bassist.

❝ This is due, in particular, to the passion of the performers: the pieces far exceed the usual length of jazz compositions, remaining at thrilling levels.

❝ That same evening, the four of them meet at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, and they record it live in a couple of takes.

❝ That year, the four were engaged in the triumphant tour supporting “Déjà Vu”, from which “Four Way Street” is taken, probably the most famous live album in the history of rock.

❝ Ten timeless pearls fixed in time.

❝ Glen Sweeney, drummer and percussionist, is the founder of the English group Third Ear Band; in the line-up are Paul Minns, oboist and flautist, Richard Coff, violinist, and Mel Davis, cellist.

❝ Instrumental pieces where free improvisation reigned almost unchallenged and could be fully appreciated only if received through the "third ear," a symbol of our deepest and most ancestral essence...

❝ In this self-titled album (also known as "Elements" due to the track names), even more so than on the previous "Alchemy," the band's (perfectly achieved) intention is to envelop the listener in a state of "tropical" tranquility...

❝

"Bright Moments is like seeing something that you ain't ever seen in your life and you don't have to see it but you know how it looks."

❝ It goes without saying that it is a desert island record and a must-have at all costs.

❝ The sound is the rhythm, and the rhythm is the sound.

❝ Laughing to avoid crying, this is "Fear Of Music."

❝ The sound is completely smeared with dirty slime, muddied with dark substances, and covered by a gloomy imaginary.

❝ Peter Hammill is, in my opinion, one of the greatest geniuses of world prog music

❝ Gentlemen, this is truly the pinnacle of progressive.

❝ “The Madcap Laughs... And what laughs! Cheerful, hysterical, desperate.”

❝ “Off-key Music for Off-key People.”

❝ “this album is an enormous piece of crap.”

❝ An exclamation point can sometimes really make a difference.

❝ Alongside the renowned "Marquee Moon," "77," "Suicide," "Pink Flag," "Horses," "Modern Dance," "Are We Not Men," "First Issue," "Unknown Pleasures," "Buy Contortions," "Killing Joke," this magical "Ultravox!" deserves a place in the showcase of dazzling debuts that changed the course of alternative rock, founding the various "new waves" in the late '70s.

❝ "This means nothing to me," a phrase shouted with all the breath Ure has in his body and soul, for those who can listen to it, it has the same effect as a stab, of something now lost and what is sadder than the end of something?

❝ Am I a pirate, am I a gentleman? Or am I just an old senile fool? Please, don't be mean.

❝ If human thought had a sound to represent it, perhaps it would be this.

❝ Modern sonic contamination? Brian Eno and David Byrne!

❝ Kevin Ayers, in other words, a genius who pretended to be dumb to avoid going to war....

❝ Kevin Ayers is missed, and it’s absolutely worth rediscovering him.

❝ Kevin Ayers was the king of the realm of laziness.

❝ As their leader, Daevid Allen, said,
“a band that too few people love too much”.

❝ Suppose you are a brilliant personality, unconventional, an unabashed fan of more or less heavy drugs, but above all, suppose that you have contemplated a project that no one before had ever approached: summarizing EVERYTHING in three albums.

❝ Banana Nirvana Manana!

❝ 1973: “Spectrum” is released, the debut album that fully meets the three goals Cobham set for himself at the outset.

❝ Unmissable!

❝ Billy Cobham is peacefully placed in the pantheon of the best drummers of all time, a true monster of technique, inventiveness, and instrumental presence

❝ In the history of rock, the Residents from San Francisco have perhaps been the most "independent" group ever.

❝ The Residents are the greatest interpreters of the theory of obscurity, formulated by the infamous Nicolas Senada, and as such, they have always rejected the mainstream and visibility to the point of never having shown their own faces

❝ The Residents decide to release five experimental pieces from four years earlier, collected in "Not Available", where the late sixties' instrumental avant-garde meets electronic music and the synthesizer.

❝ Her tormented tone and her ability on the piano led her to her thirteenth album at only 30 years old.

❝ After a first track of vocals alone that flows majestically like a mass, here's the masterpiece, the song that made me dance and sweat with passion: "Four Women," simply a precious little lace made with love between the thighs of a Mississippi peasant woman.

❝ The voice and the piano as the only ingredients for a work that documents a traumatic period in the life of the 'High Priestess of Soul'.

❝ More than just a simple collection of songs or a generational manifesto: a lesson in life.

❝ An eternal, timeless creation. Most likely not just for me.

❝ Works like this are priceless in today’s world.

❝ I love Pere Ubu! I think everyone should love Pere Ubu as much as I do!

❝ How to slap technology without experiencing a deep sense of bewilderment and fear.

❝ The modern dance of Pere Ubu takes on obscene and dark connotations, its sole purpose is to delve into the human soul to bring to the surface its fears, its delusions, and its perversions:

❝ To wash your hands of the conflict, between the powerful and the powerless, means you are taking sides with the oppressors

❝ Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions

❝ Sole definition: Milestone.

❝ In short. Perfection. The kind that you rarely encounter, but when you see it, you recognize it and know it is Her.

❝ “Something Special” is a perfect album for those who, like me, want to approach Jazz in a conscious and thoughtful way, with the aim of gradually understanding all its various nuances.

❝

"This Is The End" had already been announced years earlier by James Douglas Morrison.

❝

"This is the end, beautiful friend. This is the end my only friend..."

❝

"Break On Through (To The Other Side)"

❝ Make it yours, knowing that you have in your hands one of the definitive rock masterpieces of the seventies.

❝ If this group makes it, I'll have to kill myself!

❝ There is a dark jewel, emitting reflections of a spectral light, embedded in the discography of John Cale.

❝ After all, we're talking about John Cale, master of eccentric pop and all sorts of other things, eccentric as well.

❝ I didn't want to write this review. The artist is too overwhelming for a music layman like me.

❝ "Impressions" is a collection that doesn't have much to do with the album of the same name, also by Pat.

❝ Pat Martino is one of the greatest jazz guitarists on the international scene.

❝ I had always imagined it so desperate.

❝ This album is an enormous joke.

❝ I, without ifs and buts, consider it noise.

❝ Fast, violent, and direct.

❝ It's the only single by the band to reach number one. (...and I could already put an end to my writing today).

❝ discovering the Clash at 16 is like... discovering the Clash at 16, period.

❝ “Rattus Norvegicus” is not a record for punk lovers, but for those who love pure rock!

❝ The Raven is the fourth chapter in the career of these four Englishmen and also represents their masterpiece.

❝ This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

❝ One of the most beautiful albums of the 60s.

❝ The music of Traffic is one that makes you feel good about yourself.

❝ This masterpiece, to which no one would give 35 years, was born during yet another reunion of a band with a short and troubled history, full of breakups, departures, and reunions, and yet capable of leaving a beautiful mark in the history of music.

❝ And here is the young John McLaughlin, having separated from Davis, forming with the great and energetic Billy Cobham what is perhaps the main fusion group of the 70s, the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

❝ the Orchestra was truly a war machine, very powerful and fiery, and here you can feel all their impact on stage.

❝ “Apocalypse” cannot be called the band's best record, but it remains a highly recommended, intriguing work that can be savored for the great and warm mastery of McLaughlin and company and for the great and positive symphonic openings that often illuminate and temper the typical sharpness of the jazz rock of the Mahavishnu.

❝ In thirty-one minutes, history is written; one of the most violent, sick, and insane albums of all time is given to posterity.

❝ "Frankie Teardrop" is the nightmare in music.

❝ Suicide is dangerous and avant-garde even today: they have always built all their songs on a single sequencer loop on which the voice à la Elvis on crack, like a devastated crooner, reverberated and blasted into a thousand in Vega's chorus and delay, always upfront, straight in your face, painting spectral and apocalyptic landscapes.

❝ Here, it’s life itself expressing, and it’s a profound joy to live that shines in luminous and melodic acoustic ballads, alternating with more energetic and lively tracks.

❝ “You shouldn’t be ashamed of the simplicity of your songs...” once said director Hal Ashby to our friend the cat.

❝ This too gives an idea of the concentration of melody present in this album, a true acoustic masterpiece.

❝ "It's Alive", the double album that captures the concert held by the Ramones at the Rainbow Theatre in London on December 31, 1977, is the greatest live album in the history of rock’n’roll.

❝ The Ramones: 2263 concerts in over 22 years of career that established them as the greatest punk band of all time.

❝ 2,263 concerts in 8,165 days, one concert every four days.

❝ Now I know that the vibrato is a distorted guitar, that the voice is Joe Cocker's, and the song, signed by the Lennon-McCartney duo, “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window,” but the knowledge doesn't change the outcome: I can't help but follow the voice in awe, shaking, according to the place I'm in, the shakeable.

❝ A goosebump-inducing song, like the subsequent “Cry Me a River”

❝ In my opinion, “With A Little Help From My Friends” can calmly be included among the 10 most important and influential albums of the Woodstock generation. A record to own.

❝ Songs are like tattoos

❝ With skins decorated with pearls I tied myself with colorful feathers And beat the war drum... Beat the war drum

❝ this record remains a precious testament to the last months of the great Charlie's life

❝ a mini-concert, short in duration but leaving an intense impact that will remain well imprinted in the memory of those who enjoyed it.

❝ During live performances, the value of this band emerges, surely one of the best rock'n'roll machines the States have ever proposed.

❝ "Echo" holds a special place in the discography of Tom Petty.

❝ I didn’t marry a man, I married a mule

❝ GOOD EVENING

❝ And now all of you go to hell.

❝ Nebraska is a disarming, timeless record with something magical about it.

❝ “Hello sunshine, won’t you stay?”

❝ There are two types of people in the world: those who have seen a Springsteen concert, and everyone else.

❝ A pity, since they were, despite their short lifespan, the best rock band of all time.

❝ The Pistols never sounded so abrasive.

❝ Unhinged, irreverent, uncomfortable, and annoying... In short, fundamental.

❝ This is rock’n’roll!

❝ These gentlemen are the Stooges: take or leave, hate or love, ignore or listen.

❝ it's over for everyone else, there’s no more room for anyone.

❝ Swallows in formation playing at swapping places; geometries of flocks that tirelessly change the perimeter.

❝ "Little Red Record" is the second and final studio work of Matching Mole, a group founded in 1971 by the illustrious musician and composer Robert Wyatt following his departure from the historic band Soft Machine.

❝ “Signed Curtain”, whose lyrics simply state the part of the song being played at that moment: "this is the first verse... and this is the chorus, or maybe it's the bridge..."

❝ I don't know what else to say except: MASTERPIECE!!! BUY IT!

❝ This work, predominantly built on brilliant but deliberately disordered medieval metrics, represents the possibility of dazzling any musical score that a normal staff could contain.

❝ Indisputably, Out of the Coma is a welcome and unmissable return for all the devotees of this great and influential band that resurfaces from oblivion with a renewed and mad artistic charge.

❝ Amon Düul II. Eh, not easy to talk about. A huge, multicolored, shapeshifting, indefinable, free group. Virulently free.

❝ "Tanz Der Lemminge" (1971), the third and final part of an unrivaled "triptych" (with "Phallus Dei" and "Yeti"), is an inexhaustible source of ideas and innovations, contaminations, a milestone of rock overall.

❝ The Amon Düul II had the intuition to merge American psychedelia with Stockhausen, and the result is epic, dark, pagan, and completely insane yet, at the same time, original and musical, unlike the senseless sessions of their little brothers, Amon Düul.

❝ There are few albums I have heard that, like this one, have the intensity and the effect of the despairing abandonment with which one takes the last alcoholic sip before collapsing prey to the ghosts of the mind.

❝ "Unknown Pleasures" scares me.

❝ It all begins with a faint screech, an undertone, which broadens and strengthens until the drums enter with force, and that screeching sound becomes a note, taking the form of a guitar.

❝ "... And God was left riding the donkey, the devil is in heaven and made a nest there..."

❝ I believe this is, hands down, De André's most beautiful work and one of the highest in the Italian (and global, since it was also appreciated by a certain David Byrne) songwriting landscape.

❝ I hate Quincy Jones…

❝ His voice, an instrument to be played, vocalizations that imitated the solos of his guitar, to become one with it, sometimes hard to distinguish.

❝ For me, one of the most beautiful, poetically profound, sincere, and moving lyrics in the entire history of contemporary Rock and Pop.

❝ The Jam's last masterpiece is "Sound Affects" (1980), with a more delightfully easy and refined sound compared to three years earlier, an album endowed with an almost infinite range of colors and timbres.

❝ "The Gift" is therefore a highly recommended album and full of genuinely successful tracks.

❝ Well, yes. Once again, the old bastard has fooled us all.

❝ What's this shit?
