HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 3: Queen

(Derogation from the usual roundup of italic geniuses, bands, or soloists. This time we’re going to the English-speaking world; after all, shall we say it or not that not only in Italy are musical careers completed in a disgraceful and undignified manner that once paved the way for all?)

Friends, welcome to the ninth installment of a charming little column that I warn you to take in minimal doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by excellent DeBaserian folks with a hobby of occasionally sticking two fingers down their throats, here I am to propose a few select listens concerning the disgusting side of the output of some Anglo-speaking bands or solo artists who have truly made history in music, once offering quality music with potential international appeal, only to later sink into a discography of the lowest caliber that leaves them, for the most part, unrecognizable to the ears of their former fans.

Let’s give voice to the foul trumpets, onward...

Today we illustrate the shitty phases of another band that, unlike others, embraced a more pop and brazenly commercial vein before many other contemporary bands did the same, demonstrating, if nothing else, a certain commercial instinct, shall we say. That the exceptional voice of Mercury has uplifted from the muck often less than mediocre tracks is a matter we’ve already discussed, and we risk boring ourselves by repeating it.

Queen - Coming Soon

HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ENGLISH SECTION, vol. 3: Queen

(Derogation from the usual review of Italian talents, groups, or solo artists. This time we’re going with the English-speaking realm; after all, do we want to say it or not, that not only in the Boot are musical careers, once a beacon for many, often ended in an undignified and shameful way?)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ninth installment of a delightful little column that I remind you should be taken in minimal doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by excellent DeBaser enthusiasts with a habit of occasionally sticking their fingers down their throats, here I present to you a few selected listens concerning the disgusting side of the production of some English-speaking bands or solo artists who truly made their mark in Music History, once offering quality music with potential international outreach, only to then fall into the quagmire of a low-quality discography that makes them, for the most part, unrecognizable to the ears of their former fans.

Let the fetid trumpets sound, let’s go...

Today we highlight the awful phases of another group that, unlike others, embraced a more pop and brazenly commercial vein before many other contemporary bands did the same, demonstrating, if nothing else, a certain knack for what we might call commercialism. That the exceptional voice of Mercury managed to lift from the mire often less than mediocre songs is a discussion we've already had, and we risk boring ourselves by repeating it.

#darkpearls
The Reivers - 'Saturday'
What Am I Doing - The Reivers
#forgetyourfatherandmen

How many double duos in rock? Let’s say, off the top of my head: Mamas & Papas, Ricchi e Poveri, and Abba. All pretty well-known, right? (Oh yes, even Ricchi e Poveri were and are celebrities in all of Russia)
Well, here we're a bit below in terms of notoriety.
They were called Zeitgeist and a couple of releases in the mid-Eighties under that name (especially the splendid debut ‘Translate Slowly’) created a tiny, tiny cult of followers among all the REM-epigones located on both coasts of the Union, even though here we are in sunny Texas, Austin to be precise.
Then, the usual primogeniture already registered by others forced them to change their name, and how delightful it was to find them a couple of years later as Reivers ('the raiders' from Faulkner) and this splendid 'Saturday', which even attracted the attention of Capitol, because college rock had broken through and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
This mix of guitar-driven rock and exquisite intersexual vocal harmonies, always entwined with melodies capable of clinging to the eardrums like tenacious ivy, remains for me a glorious mystery as to why it didn’t make them global stars.

Acqua E Sapone - Stadio

Piero Ciampi - Il Giocatore

The introduction of the piece by Stadio reminds me of that in Il Giocatore by Piero Ciampi. Possible plagiarism?

HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 3: Queen

(An exception to the usual review of Italic talents, groups, or soloists. This time we’re going Anglophone; let’s admit it, shall we? It’s not just in the Boot that musical careers, once shining, are brought to an ignoble and disgraceful end.)

Friends, welcome to the ninth installment of a delightful little column that I warn you should be taken in small doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by some excellent DeBaser fans with a hobby of occasionally making themselves gag, here I am to offer you a few carefully chosen listens concerning the disgusting side of the output of some Anglophone groups or solo artists who have truly made History in Music, once providing quality music with potentially international appeal, only to then sink into the depths of a low-quality discography that renders them, for the most part, unrecognizable to their former fans.

Let’s blow into the foul trumpets, come on...

Today we highlight the crummy phases of another group that, unlike others, embraced a more pop and shamelessly commercial vein before many other contemporary bands did the same, showing, if nothing else, a certain commercial instinct. The fact that Mercury’s exceptional voice has salvaged often less than mediocre songs is a point we’ve already made, and we risk boring ourselves by repeating it.

After the 10 worst things produced by Venditti, by Daniele, the column "L'inascoltabile Dalla" by @[fabriziozizzi], the Edoardo Smerdato of @[Martello], and the column "HOW TO RUIN A CAREER" in volumes by @[Dislocation], I find it fair and necessary to mention the outtakes from my two previous columns. There will be a total of 10 outtakes, divided into two listenings. We continue with Mr. Daniele from Naples. (in purely random order)
Pino Daniele - Rhum and coca
Pino Daniele - Pigro
Pino Daniele - Occhi Che Sanno Parlare
Pino Daniele - La mia casa sei tu
Si forever - Pino Daniele
Stop, it’s all over. #maybe @[dsalva] @[Farnaby]

HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 3: Queen
