Best band Rock of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ 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.

❝ "Led Zeppelin? What's that?"

❝ "Best Band, Ever"

❝ 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

❝ These are undoubtedly the most incredible 2 minutes and 24 seconds in the history of rock, it’s all so, so Hendrix for god's sake.

❝ Magic. Hendrix was magic, above all else.

❝ “If God exists, he is a hippie and plays the electric guitar”

❝ Impossible not to affirm that what comes out is an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Year 1968, “Wheels Of Fire” by the British Cream. The pinnacle of their short but very dense career.

❝ Cream’s performances are intense and captivating, with extremely long solos and improvisations at the end, at high volume and energy.

❝ Let's begin by clearing up any doubts: this is a classic among classics.

❝ The Creedence Clearwater Revival are a band, in the true sense of the word: the undisputed leader is John C. Fogerty.

❝ The latest studio effort from the American band, an intentionally driven musical suicide at the height of their fame.

❝ 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";

❝ 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."

❝ 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.

❝

"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)"

❝ The Animals revived the old black tradition and gave it a sound slap to free it from austerity and academic formalities (namely, the ills that have plagued the genre, sometimes relegating it to cocktail music, although fortunately a good part of it continued to carry forward its visceral nature).

❝ A band of true rock blues purists, on par with the contemporary Rolling Stones, with a singer like Eric Burdon whose intense singing style would also inspire other subsequent rockers like Jim Morrison and Joe Cocker.

❝ If we go back to the sixty years of the "British Invasion", when many were singing the blues, no white singer had a soul as black as Eric Burdon;

❝ 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.

❝ “Who the hell is that guitarist?!”

❝ “Many times their fame is overshadowed by the great “giants” of English rock of the period like Zeppelin, Purple, or Sabbath, but Ten Years After, led by the great and unfortunately recently deceased Alvin Lee, the “Fastest Guitar in Rock 'n Roll”, are absolutely no less in terms of skill and spectacle, and this double album is the most sincere testament to that.”

❝ “This is essentially the band’s most original work, perhaps also the most refined, and (needless to say) misunderstood by most fans at the time.”

❝ 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 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.”

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ "Cheap Thrills" should be listened to not because it's the testimony of a singer who mocked every limit, who played with her life with candid innocence; this album should be listened to simply because Janis Joplin sang and interpreted an excellent blues.

❝ The first album of a band destined to have brief but intense success and the first album of a shouter with an exceptional voice destined to become the Queen of Blues.

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ "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.

❝ 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 blues in its true form is a reflection of a man's life and comes from personal experiences, both good and bad. I acknowledge that I have unintentionally hurt many people, left friends, and now the only thing worth living for is the blues

❝ “Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton” marked an indelible turning point for blues and rock blues, laying the foundation for the subsequent hard and heavy evolution: it influenced many musicians, and bands like Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Free, just to name a few, certainly owe something to this record.

❝ I believe that John Mayall is the most important white Blues musician, and he has been since the sixties when, with his Bluesbreakers, he took on the role of a true pioneer of the British blues revival.

❝ “Duane told me he needed me to keep the band in line and write some songs. It was the best compliment my brother ever gave me.” (Greg Allman)

❝ Whiskey instead of LSD.

❝ Do you want The Allman Brothers Band with the original line-up and at their peak? Well, this is the album for you!!!

❝ 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...

❝

This is the first album that absolutely puts the electric guitar at the center of attention, a forerunner of works of the caliber of Are You Experienced and Texas Flood, to name a few, and a precursor of genres and trends that would prevail for over a decade.

❝

Much, much honor and respect for them, history of rock.

❝

The Yardbirds were incredible.

❝ An immortal album, considered by many to be the masterpiece of the '70s progressive scene, something no one will ever be able to match in ideas and creativity.

❝ It represents a unique sound document of great artistic value

❝ Area was a group that made music, Demetrio was also an instrument of the group besides being a singer who at that moment brought the word through the lyrics.

❝ It revitalizes the dignity of a great artist, who has always put our enjoyment and his music first, sacrificing himself. Genius and fragility in one.

❝ The most fitting adjective for this album cannot be other than: crap!

❝ This is why you were unique, Mr. Bad Guy.

❝ Héroes del Silencio were born in 1984 in Zaragoza, Spain.

❝ It is impossible not to be swept away by the drive of "Carry on Wayward Son".

❝ Kansas means great hard rock with progressive virtuosity and hints of country, also thanks to the presence of the violin.

❝ This sublime album represents one of the cornerstones of 70s rock, with ten tracks marking one of the last worthy events of Progressive ROCK, and I write in capital letters ROCK because subsequently Prog Metal will be born.

❝ Don't worry about me, I've got a bed. I've got a Christmas tree inside my head...

❝ Beauty is not useful but is indispensable. Beauty pierces.

❝ "Tweez": that is, almost half an hour of revolution.

❝ Eleven shards of frenetic and baroque glam, never cloying and always engaging.

❝ I find it absolutely irresistible.

❝ Thanks to these ten delirious, joyous, and light-hearted anthems to life, the Sparks rewrite the history of glam, a genre already on the path to decline, renewing it and inspiring, in my opinion, the Queen and part of the music of the '80s.

❝ The Kinks have given us many little pop gems and Ray Davies was a genius. Period.

❝ It's time to rediscover them, isn't it?

❝ Known mostly thanks to the seminal riff of "You Really Got Me", the Kinks have gone even further, releasing throughout their career several examples of undisputed compositional talent, with an energetic and peculiar sound, that today serve as a true "beacon" for many bands.

❝ If only one name from the entire history of rock remains in a hundred years, it will inevitably be Jimi Hendrix, said Pete Townshend.

❝ Here. In about two minutes, Jimi Hendrix one day decided to show us his soul and we all realized that his soul was so, so beautiful.

❝ Hendrix and the completely still and mesmerized audience in front of this being who came from who knows where to express everything he had inside with the howls he managed to produce from his guitar..

❝ "Squeeze" is the apocryphal album of the Velvet Underground.

❝ This album is stunning, chiaroscuro and sadistic like few others.

❝ This double live album, recorded between Dallas and San Francisco, is a confession.

❝ Wishbone Ash remains the world’s most competent band in structures and arrangements based on the interpolation between two solo guitars of equal, mirror-like dignity and importance

❝ This techno, house, trance disc released in 1997 will soon be followed by another similar one entitled “Psychic Terrorism,”

❝ It is the sixth of the thirty (!) studio albums released by the British band from 1970 to today. And it is their absolute nadir.

❝ The wah-wah of Kaukonen in "Good Shepherd" pushes you to movement, to action, towards where? Forward, towards the future, start moving.

❝ This monument or testament, if you prefer, consecrates the Jefferson Airplane into the Olympus of all rock.

❝ In short, an absolutely must-have album, which paved the way for other masterpieces by the American band, like "After Bathing At Baxter's" and their probable career pinnacle, "Volunteers".

❝ with this album have to put it mildly CREATED glam.

❝ The Slider is the apotheosis of his music

❝ “I am my own fantasy,” he said, constantly moving from one space of illusion to another.

❝ “Watch us, girl, we’re staying up all night destroying our love. Aren’t we the same two people who went through dark years?”

❝ “On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair...”

❝ “when Hell freezes over”

❝ 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:

❝ “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

❝ “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.”

❝ An absolutely perfect song.

❝ Absolute perfection. Both in form and content.

❝ The Police are unparalleled live" – wrote "Billboard" commenting on the VHS.

❝ After forty years, evolving is not taken for granted, and often it is done in the opposite direction. But not here, not this time.

❝ My band and I never talk about this album, and we don’t even play it at concerts.

❝ No doubt, this album is an absolute must-have.

❝ The absolute masterpiece of Marlene Kuntz.

❝ these guys, with 22 albums and countless concerts under their belt, still play with the same grit they did thirty years ago.

❝ A beautiful album “Catartica”, no doubt about it.

❝ For a group of 40-year-olds like us, Nirvana is like milk for newborns: obligatory and essential.

❝ Audience: "MTV SUUUUCKS!"

❝ Daydream Nation is a masterpiece. Without a doubt.

❝ This is "Confusion Is Sex". An aural assault.

❝ Youth against time!

❝ “Take away to add,” Mark used to say.

❝ Morphine consists of: Mark Sandman (vocals and bass), Dana Colley (saxophone), Jerome Dupree (drums from 1989 to 1993 and from 1998 to 1999), Billy Conway (drums from 1993 to 1998).

❝ The Morphine were one of the most original bands of the ’90s, and Cure For Pain is their worldwide fame album, as well as their highest creative peak.

❝ This is the best album ever composed by a band of semi-deities, and anyone who denies it doesn’t understand a damn thing about True Music!

❝ Tool is a group that undeniably has managed to create a style distinctly different from any other.

❝ The album starts immediately rough, hard, and uncensored: "Stinkfist" is a perhaps ambiguous metaphor in which the "sweet" experience of fist-fucking symbolizes the desensitization of the spirit and the constant pushing of boundaries to continue feeling emotions.

❝ It is difficult to attempt to classify or even describe in broad terms the sonic chaos that comprises "Trout Mask Replica"

❝ Because I didn't understand a damn thing.

❝ Critics have slaughtered it, purists hate it, it seems even Captain Beefheart disowned it... yet "Unconditionally Guaranteed" is perfect.

❝ End Hits is the definitive Fugazi album, the one that makes you think
"it couldn't get better than this; now they should disband and let others reckon with their work."

❝ If ours were a better world, Fugazi probably wouldn't be remembered solely for their political image, for their activism, for their 6-euro concerts, for their 10-euro CDs, for their resistance to the arrogance of the major labels, for their lifestyle in the face of which all these heavily promoted pseudo-punk bands come off as schoolkids.

❝ "Repeater" is rebellion!

❝ In "Blessing of Tears," Robert Fripp shows remarkable sensitivity, a clear, emotional message that is also aesthetically consonant from the listener's perspective (something found in very few romantic tracks of his production).

❝ A precious document. Fragmented notes, experiments, songs built on ideas kept in the archive for years.

❝ It is impossible to achieve an aim without suffering

❝ "The swans have returned."

❝ "We need a dream to escape."

❝ "This is one of the truest works you’ll ever hear, whether you like it or not."

❝ 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.

❝ "Why weren't Led Zeppelin influenced by John Paul Jones?!" that's how he answered the classic redundant question (it had been "only" 19 years!).

❝ 1967 was the year when singer Bob Hite, nicknamed "The Bear," along with guitarist Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, formed one of the greatest and most important blues bands in history: the Canned Heat.

❝ Canned Heat is the best white blues band that ever existed, they are all soul and little technique.

❝ the legendary "Going Up The Country," showcasing the joy of country life among carefree flutes, psychedelic sounds and vocals, and lively boogie rhythms.

❝ The record. It’s not worth a word, maybe one, and it begins with an S!

❝ THE ALBUM IS NOT THERE

❝ The special effect was the music, with a capital M.

❝ After the breakup of the Purple in 1976, everyone went their separate ways: Glenn Hughes towards soul music, Coverdale first towards Rhythm'n Blues and then AOR, Tommy Bolin towards a regrettably very brief solo career, and Lord along with Paice formed a group with Tony Ashton, the PAL, with whom they didn’t achieve even the slightest success...

❝ Dadaist art, no-sense, hardcore, all blended together to generate one of the most vitamin-packed, innovative, and pure cocktails of the time. Go get them!!

❝ Butthole Surfers have coined a new language that will soon become highly imitated, but most importantly, they have performed the noble act of elevating burps and farts to an art form.

❝ Among the most important and underrated bands in the history of rock, the Texan Butthole Surfers must be mentioned first.

❝ The news that hasn’t yet reached the Olympus where I hope never to enter is that the Beatles knew how to play, and how.

❝ In short, the general impression here is that you are not just watching a documentary about the Beatles: you are actually reliving those years with them.

❝ Who would have ever thought that the Legend, perhaps the greatest in the History of Music, would have begun with a very simple, very banal, very inexpensive: ONE, TWO, THREE, FAH!

❝ The best remedy against Hegelianism? The Pixies.

❝ The line between genius and madness is very thin.

❝ WHERE IS MY MIND?

❝ Yes, okay, I know, Toto is one of those bands labeled as "either you love them or you hate them" or "great musicians, but the albums aren't that great," but I'll try to describe them anyway, because between loving them and hating them, I love them.

❝ I find the rumor that Toto is a group of hired and obsequious studio musicians unbearable.

❝ If Toto are (rightly) considered a radio band, one cannot say the same when discussing their quality.

❝ The genre is a varied but decisive blues rock’n’roll, nothing genius, but pleasant and gritty.

❝ The silver "space baldies" were a group of 5 members with everything in place.

❝ I’m the only guy in rock’n’roll that plays that hollow body jazz guitar (Gibson Byrdland), and it’s because I saw Jim McCarty creating those big fat full chords like I do on 'Stranglehold'; I learned that from Jimmy McCarty. Remember the name Jim McCarty. He is as important as Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry and Les Paul… a god on guitar!

❝

You’re not worthy of reading such a masterpiece, square.

❝

This is rock in its purest essence, ladies and gentlemen.

❝ 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.

❝ “The music of Magma is like a mirror, where everyone can see a reflection of who he is”

❝ “the truest reflection of Magma's real atmosphere”

❝ “It can’t help but deserve the highest rating.”

❝ 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.

❝ Drip drip drip drip drip... [cit.]

❝ We are facing The Cure’s darkest work since “Disintegration,” an album seemingly designed to echo its glacial rhythm and introspective nature, yet it is not a self-inflicted effort by a declining band repeating its greatest hits.

❝ "And the girl with red hair and the summer nights and Three imaginary boys..."

❝ 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.

❝ Dark, distressing, grotesque, violent, unsettling but also ironic, hypnotic, and irreverent: this and much more are "Ask Questions Later" and Cop Shoot Cop, a band that managed to renew atmospheric industrial music, but that remained unknown to most for far too long.

❝ Change what you cannot accept / do not accept what you cannot change

❝ This ain't no place for ideals, this is no time for change.

❝ There is a sort of musical Apartheid in some parts of the world, especially in the USA. According to these people’s theory, if you are part of a rock n’ roll band, you must remain trapped by the label given to you. I find it unfair; we are a rock n’ roll band, and we experiment with the sounds of rave, of black music.

❝ U2 have aged poorly.

❝ Like an electric shock.

❝ There are albums that deserve to be considered (not only) for their intrinsic value as a record, but for their quality as real "time machines."

❝ "Just watching them on stage for a minute convinced you that no one could stop them. They were a lit fuse." (Gene Simmons, Kiss).

❝ Van Halen was a band that had fun.

❝ The title track "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is the true masterpiece.

❝ I consider it one of the best of the '60s and '70s... a must-have with your eyes closed...

❝ In a Gadda Da Vida is not an album of psychedelic rock, In a Gadda Da Vida is psychedelic rock.

❝ Everything is accomplished: the sixteenth birth of the famous Iron Maiden has already started to whisper its occult rituals in the eardrums of all of us.

❝ They play like gods, there’s not much to add.

❝ A year lived dangerously, at the limits of human musical possibilities, and ending in Los Angeles after touching Japan, Brazil, Hawaii, and Australia.

❝

"These guys are criminals."

❝

"The fact remains that these three gentlemen have now returned to being the best power trio around."

❝

"We are the Motorpsycho. Your musical and cultural characteristics will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

❝ A monumental collection that traces the history of Tortoise through b-sides, collaborations, outtakes, assorted rarities, remixes, covers, videos, live performances, and every piece of goodness related to the band, mainly from the period 1995-2001.

❝ ...And to your left, we have "Millions Now Living Will Never Die", the greatest album by Tortoise, released in 1996 and already become an absolute masterpiece of 90s rock, you can admire it in all its magnificence...

❝ It is always about instrumental post-rock with sporadic dips into minimal electronics and glimpses (this time structural, however) of jazz with soft and dreamy hues, but never as with this album have I had the impression that every detail is exclusively aimed at the whole, managing to be both sharp and blurred simultaneously.

❝ R.I.P. Boston (1968-2007)

❝ “More Than A Feeling” goes beyond common notoriety... it is indeed a standard, an evergreen, one of the paradigms of rock history.

❝ “Don’t Look Back” is for me their “Opus magnum”,

❝ "eh, but they haven't changed at all, they're just like twenty years ago."

❝ "What you hear on \"Loveless\" really exists. And it's not a wall of sound, it's a vortex, something in front, behind, above, and below you, something you feel in your belly, under your tongue, something that suffuses you."

❝ After listening to this album, you will remain silent for 1 minute to absorb it. And then only the following exclamation will come from your mouth: “MIIIINCHIA!”

❝ From start to finish, the record presents itself as an exhausting cavalcade through hard rock, blues, and boogie, all played even more crudely than in any previous work by the band.

❝ Pump is the second of Aerosmith's three "Big Ones," the three jewels of the veteran Boston band's discography.

❝ Dirty, raw, yet very catchy at the same time, these Count Five are really cool.

❝ The Rock attitude and way of doing things are something you have to have in your blood, and these five had it to spare!

❝ Personally, one of the foundational texts of psychedelic rock.

❝ From now on, for a barbecue "Nude With Boots" is like charcoal: essential.

❝ few bands on this planet can boast as much influence on the entire rock scene as the Melvins.

❝ The rock historiography tells us that the Melvins chose their band name in honor of an unfortunate Christmas tree thief from Aberdeen, named Melvin.

❝ Second only to James Brown in importance, Sly And The Family Stone were a connecting and evolving figure in Black Music, having united what had remained separate until then: Soul and Rock.

❝ Feel so good inside myself don't wanna move feel so good inside myself don't need to move

❝ staaand!!

❝ “7800° Fahrenheit is an utterly monotonous and dull album, one of those made “because it has to be done”.”

❝ “In conclusion, if it still wasn’t clear from the review, we are in front of a perfect album that has superlatively withstood the test of time and that, even if entirely a child of its time, if released today would still deserve the label of masterpiece.”

❝ “This “Lost Highway” instead I find a very anonymous album; even the first rather distracted listen left me with nothing, and subsequent listens added very little”

❝ Kyuss, inventors of "Stoner Rock," are the expression of the frustrations and tensions accumulated by the youth in the usual and often-mentioned (by me!) town "Palm Desert", hidden in the southern California desert.

❝ This is not a review, it is a fact: Welcome To Sky Valley is one of the best albums ever released.

❝ Reviewing this album is like trying to give an opinion on an emotion.

❝ Choosing a Yo La Tengo album is not easy. One of the very few bands, alongside Fugazi and even more than Sonic Youth, to have maintained a huge qualitative standard throughout their career, adhering to a simple precept: expressive freedom. Nothing more, nothing less.

❝ Fade puts you in front of yourself, it forces you to question your entire existence.

❝ Yo La Tengo are aliens.

❝ If God had recorded an album, it would have been Pet Sounds.

❝ Smiley Smile is precisely the collection of the few published fragments of Smile.

❝ Published in 1971, "Surf's Up" is the last decent work of a group now divided by internal dissensions and the slow, inexorable mental deterioration of Brian Wilson.

❝ It's important to clarify what "Dookie" actually is: it's "poop," but not only that; it's the boredom, anger, fun, and "meanness" of three guys.

❝ This results in "American Idiot", a public denunciation of George W.'s administration set like a rock opera.

❝ The real gem is in the simplicity of "Time Of Your Life", in those strings that give you goosebumps!

❝ Little Feat are probably the greatest American band of the seventies.

❝ “Waiting For Columbus” is one of the best live records in rock history and represents the artistic testament of the original group.

❝ The music of Little Feat can indeed be presented as a mix of blues, gospel, southern rock, cajun, jazz, country, placed intellectually and geographically at the center of the triangle “Los Angeles – New Orleans – Memphis”…

❝ And instead, what a wallop, what a lesson, I had to keep quiet.

❝ Personally, I enjoy the golden age, of which "Dr. Feelgood" represents the masterpiece, an album that reeks of sweat and greasepaint, a mix of macho rock and androgynous image, an album that talks of women, parties, and bad guys, but first spends hours in front of the mirror fixing makeup and hair.

❝ A high-class album to use as a nice ashtray.

❝ 'Pyromania' is a work that snapshots the band at its best form and still deserves today the esteem and respect of anyone who considers themselves a fan of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal...

❝ In fact, there is absolutely no problem or flaw in this album.

❝ they ventured into composing the album that is still considered their greatest success (both commercially and compositionally), "Hysteria."

❝ For a good five years, Supertramp didn't miss a beat and were the Lords of Pop. Maximum respect.

❝ A decisive push in this direction came from an album in the latter half of the decade, which represents, along with Michael Jackson's "Thriller", the aforementioned "Dark Side", and a few others, the perfect blend between commercially and artistically valid: "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp.

❝ Who knows why certain bands, although deserving from an artistic point of view, after years no one pays attention to them anymore. They simply disappear.

❝ Trick!!!!! Do you want to understand that it will never come out???

❝ Guns N’ Roses today are what they’ve always been.

❝ Appetite For Destruction is the life of the Guns n' Roses in twelve songs.

❝ “Forever Changes” by the Californians Love is one of the greatest albums in the History of music, one of the symbols of the entire psychedelic season, one of the most radiant and dramatic examples of sonic intimacy.

❝ The magic that made this album a masterpiece lies in the subtle work with which “Love” managed to weave flamenco adornments onto a rock sound tapestry, harmonizing beat and psychedelia, the sound of strings with wind instruments.

❝ All of this is the last great album labeled Love: before the tunnel of the 70s swallowed Arthur Lee.
