Hanoi Rocks - [1981] Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks

Michael Monroe (v) e Andy McCoy (g) são uma espécie de Mick Jagger e Keith Richards do Glam Rock. Esse disco é um clássico do genêro. Sintetiza tudo que veio antes e influenciou tudo que veio depois. Mas o legal é que eles tem alguma coisa de punk, de The Clash pra ser mais preciso. Sonzera. Uma das melhores descobertas que fiz nos ultimos meses. Top 3: "Stop Cryin'" , "Lost In The City" e "First Timer". Pra quem gosta de: Guns N' Roses, Sweet, Motley Crue, Stooges e New York Dolls.

Michael Monroe (v) and Andy McCoy (g) are some kind of Jagger and Richards of Glam Rock. This album is a pure classic of the genre. It puts together everything that was made before and it have influenced all that was done after. Another cool thing is that they had some Punk flavours in their sound. One of the best discovers that I made this last months. Top 3: "Stop Cryin'" , "Lost In The City" and "First Timer". For those who likes: Guns N' Roses, Sweet, Motley Crue, Stooges and New York Dolls.

Fear - [1982] The Record

Um pouco mais de punk para esta conspiração. O que eu mais gosto nessas bandas punks é a rapidez e o despojamento do som. Cabe muito bem no dia-a-dia. Tudo anda tão rapido ultimamente que parece que o punk rock é o unico tipo de rock que combina com a nossa rotina. E olha que esse disco já tem mais de 25 anos hein. Top 3: "I Don't Care About You", "Let's Have A War" e "I Love Livin' In The City". Pra quem gosta de: Black Flag, Misfits, Ramones, Minutemen e Minor Threat.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, let's share one more punk record in this conspiracy. Punk sound matches so good with these days of speed. At least for me. Top 3: "I Don't Care About You", "Let's Have A War" and "I Love Livin' In The City". For Those Who Likes: Black Flag, Misfits, Ramones, Minutemen and Minor Threat.

Black Drawing Chalks - [2007] Big Deal

Gioânia é atualmente a cidade que faz as melhores bandas do país: MQN, Mechanics, The Envy Hearts, Goldfish Memories e o Black Drawing Chalks aqui. Todas as elas ou com um pé no grunge, ou com um pé no stoner. Os Chalks parecem ser os novatinhos da cena, mas o som é tão bom quanto o das outras. "Holiday" me lembra Soundgarden e vale o disco. Quase todas as outras tem alguma coisa de Fu Manchu ou Kyuss ou Monster Magnet. Ainda não os vi ao vivo, mas aparecendo por aqui em BH, eu tô lá na frente pra assistir. Alias, por que não tem nenhum festival de Stoner no país???? Se eu não voltar... feliz natal para todos! Top 3: "Rising Sun In The Purple Sky Morning" , "Holiday" e "High And Smashed". Pra quem gosta de: MQN, Soundgarden, Flaming Moe, Monster Magnet e Queens Of The Stone Age.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nowadays, Goiania is the real Rock City in Brazil: MQN, Mechanics, The Envy Hearts, Goldfish Memories and Black Drawing Chalks are all from there. All of them have something grunge or stoner or even both on their sound. Chalks are one of my favorites in the new scene. "Holiday" reminds me something that Soundgarden did in their late years. All the tracks have something similar with Fu Manchu or Kyuss or Monster Magnet. It's a very enjoyable listening any time. Top 3: "Rising Sun In The Purple Sky Morning" , "Holiday" and "High And Smashed". For Those Who Likes: MQN, Soundgarden, Flaming Moe, Monster Magnet and Queens Of The Stone Age.

Rich Robinson - [2004] Paper

Primeiro e único disco solo de Rich Robinson (guitarrista do Black Crowes) até o momento. A infinidade de guitarras sobrepostas nesse disco é característica mais legal desse disco, por que a voz do Rich é um pouco enjoativa. Muito bom pra ouvir uma vez por semana, não mais que isso. Bom trabalho, mas Hookah Brown era mais legal. Top 3: "Enemy", "Forgiven Song", "Places". Pra quem gosta de: Black Crowes, Stone Temple Pilots, Howlin' Rain, Wilco e Jayhawks.

First and only solo record by Rich Robinson (Black Crowes guitar player) 'till now. The wall of guitars is the most interesting thing in this record and Rich proves again that he is a great songwriter. His voice is not that good, but it's a good album to listen once a week.

Danko Jones - [2008] Never Too Loud

Impressão minha ou o baterista do Danko Jones tá tocando demais nesse disco? Zezuis! Não que seja algo complexo, mas sei lá, ele faz o simples de um jeito muito foda. E o Danko tá cantando como nunca. Ah, só eu que notei ou "City Streets" tem um riff chupinhado de "Love Her All I Can" do Kiss??? E pra quem não sabe, John Garcia abençoou esse disco cantando em "Forest For The Trees" (que tem também uma participação do vocalista do Goatsnake que eu não me lembro o nome agora, mas que tem voz de pato). Danko num falha! Top 3: "Code Of The Road", "Still In High School" , "Forest For The Trees". Pra quem gosta de: AC/DC, Forgotten Boys, Unida, Thin Lizzy, The Datsuns.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, am I crazy or Danko Jones' drummer is playing more than ever in this album? Holy Jesus! Not that is thaaat something, but, I don't know, but everything that is just simple he plays in a very cool way. And Danko is singing better than ever! And check the riff of "City Streets". It doesn't reminds you the main riff of "Love Her All I Can" from Kiss??? And one more thing, John Garcia blessed this album singing in Forest For The Trees (that has another guest, Goatsnake vocal, which I don't remember the name :P). Well, you know, Danko never fails.Top 3: "Code Of The Road", "Still In High School" , "Forest For The Trees". For those who likes: AC/DC, Forgotten Boys, Unida, Thin Lizzy, The Datsuns.

Soundgarden - [1995] Songs From The Superunknown EP

Seattle Sound #1: Soundgarden foi uma das três melhores bandas que já andaram na Terra. Led Zeppelin num serve pra engraxar o sapato do Soundgarden. Acho que desde os Beatles, nenhuma banda teve uma sincronia tão grande quanto Cornell, Thayil, Cameron e Shepherd tiveram. Pra ter uma idéia, She Likes Surprises é melhor do que qualquer coisa que tenha sido feita por qualquer outra banda desde 1995. E olha que era só uma B-side!!!!! Essa é a banda que eu mais lamento o fim no rock. = ( . Top Top: "Like Suicide (Acoustic)". Pra quem gosta de: Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Monster Magnet e Smashing Pumpkins.
----------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #1: One of the three best bands that walked on earth. Forget about Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden is much better. Never since the Beatles, the members of a band match so well. Kim Thayil is a god, and Chris Cornell (R.I.P. :P) was a god too. She Likes Surprises , that was a bonus track on Superunknown, is better than anything that any other band did in 90's. And it's just a B-Side! Unfortunately, everything that is good, doesn't last forever. This band is what I miss more from the 90's. =( . Top Top: "Like Suicide (Acoustic)". For those who likes: Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Monster Magnet and Smashing Pumpkins.

Alice In Chains - [1989] We Die Young EP

Seattle Sound #2: Alice In Chains tem pra mim uma das melhores duplas de compositores da história do rock. Impressionante como os talentos do Jerry e do Layne se encaixam. Neste EP, primeiro lançamento da banda, o som deles ainda estava se formando, ainda tinha um jeitão meio hard-rock, principalmente a ultima faixa, Killing Yourself. Ótimo começo para uma das melhores bandas que já andaram por essas terras (parece velho falando, ehhee). Top Top: "It Ain't Like That". Pra quem gosta de: The Cult, Soundgarden, Black Label Society, Screaming Trees e Danzig.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #2: Alice In Chains has one of the best partners in writin songs of the history. Layne and Jerry match perfectly one to another. In this release, their are still searching for they sound, what we can see on the last track "Killing Yourself", which have a hard-rock approach. Great start for a great band! Top Top: "It Ain't Like That".For those who likes: The Cult, Soundgarden, Black Label Society, Screaming Trees and Danzig.

Screaming Trees - [1989] Change Has Come EP

Seattle Sound #3: Screaming Trees é a banda mais injustiçada da história, ou coisa do tipo. Esse é o único lançamento dos gordinhos pela Sub-Pop, pouco antes deles assinarem com a Epic. Não tão bom quanto o material deles nos 90, mas ainda assim muito legal. Top Top: "Change Has Come". Para aqueles que curtem: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Dinossaur Jr., Soundgarden, Kyuss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #3: Screaming Trees is the most underrated band ever! Or somegthing like that. This release is the only one for Sub-Pop. It was before they signed with Epic.

Mudhoney - [1988] Superfuzz Bigmuff

Seattle Sound #4: Foi o Mudhoney que colocou Seattle no cenário do rock mundial, isso não tem discussão. E em 1988 eles já eram demais de bons. E o tempo não afeta essa banda. Vi eles ao vivo em 2006 em São Paulo abrindo pro Pearl Jam e, sinceramente, o Pearl Jam que devia ter aberto o show pro Mudhoney. Que paulada! Dessas que estão no EP, eles tocaram a clássica "In 'N' Out Of Grace". Que show! Top Top: "In 'N' Out Of Grace". Pra quem gosta de: Nirvana, Stooges, MC5, Thee Hypnotics e Melvins.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seattle Sound #4: It was Mudhoney who puts Seattle in world rock scene, period. And in 1998 they still were a great band. I saw them in 2006 opening for Pearl Jam in São Paulo and, to be honest, Pearl Jam who should open for Mudhoney. They are way better than PJ live. One of the best concerts that i ever saw!

Pearl Jam - [1995] Merkinball

Seattle Sound #5: A coisa mais legal nesse single é a presença de Neil Young na guitarra solo de I Got Id. E que solo! Parceria que já tinha rendido o médio "Mirrorball" e que aqui finalmente funciona. Bons tempos antes do Eddie Vedder virar um pretenso Bono Vox. Top Top: "I Got Id". Pra quem gosta de: Neil Young, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots e Dinossaur Jr.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #5: The coolest thing in this single is Neil Young's participation in I Got Id, where he plays guitar. This partnership starts with the just average "Mirrorball" .

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #6: This EP is one of the bests releases from Nirvana. Really a good one. Here, the band wasn't that enourmous thing that they become later. Looking back, Kurt is still a miss. Top Top: "Blew". For those who likes: Melvins, Mudhoney, Tad, Screaming Trees and Hole.

Mother Love Bone - [1989] Shine EP

Seattle Sound #7: Frequentemente eu vejo ou leio em algum lugar alguém falar que se não fosse a morte do Andrew Wood, o Mother Love Bone seria o que foi o Nirvana. Eu acho um exagero, mas tudo bem. O MLB é talvez a banda com o som mais diferente de Seattle, voltado para um som mais hard rock. Não tiveram tempo de fazer sucesso, já que Andrew Wood morreu em 1990. Pena. Top Top: "Thru Fade Away". Pra quem gosta de: Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses e Skid Row.
------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #7: I read or hear often people saying that if Andrew Wood doesn't die in 1990, Mother Love Bone will be what Nirvana was for the 90's. Well, for me this is an exaggeration, but it's ok. MLB plays a sound a litte bit diferent than the other Seattle bands, more focused in classic hard rock. They disband after Andrew Wood found dead in his room, before they breakthrough to the mainstream charts. Top Top: "Thru Fade Away". For those who likes: Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Skid Row.

Melvins - [1992] King Buzzo EP

Seattle Sound #8: Esse EP num é o melhor exemplo do som dos Melvins, mesmo por que neste caso em específico, Buzz Osbourne é o único membro da banda. Nesta época, cada membro lançou um EP solo, no melhor estilo Kiss. Esse é o resultado do trabalho do chefão King Buzzo. Não são as melhores músicas, já que duas são praticamente instrumentais e a ultima é uma fala do Dave Ghrol (que toca bateria em todas as faixas aqui) com a banda tocando ao fundo. Mas até que é legalzinho. Top Top: "Skeeter". Pra quem gosta de: Nirvana, Fantômas, Tad, Mudhoney e L7.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #8: This EP is not the best way to know Melvins sound. In fact, this record is a solo one of Buzz Osbourne. At the time, the band decides to each member release a solo record. Here we find the result of the "big boss" work. The last track is a speech by Dave Ghrol (who plays drums in these EP) with the band playing. Top Top: "Skeeter".

Green River - [1985] Come On Down

Seattle Sound #9: Green River foi a primeira banda a realmente importar na cena de Seattle. Depois de desfeita, alguns membros formaram o Mudhoney, outros formaram o Mother Love Bone. Neste EP é notável que Mark Arm era o líder e direcionava a banda em seu som. Muito interessante pra entender como tudo começou. Top Top: "Swallow My Pride". Para aqueles que gostam de: Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Black Flag, Tad e Nirvana.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Sound #9: Green River was the first band that really matters in Seattle scene. After disband, some members formed Mudhoney, some other formed Mother Love Bone.

Tad - [1990] Salt Lick EP

Seatlle Sound #10: O Tad é o caso classico de banda com ótimo instrumental e vocal chatinho. Tad Doyle devia saber disso na época em que montou a banda. Com a sonoridade deles e um vocal melhor, com certeza a banda teria disputado mais as paradas com seus conterrâneos. Mas mesmo assim, o som é bem divertido, com uma paulada de guitarra atrás da outra. Top Top: "High On The Hog". Pra quem gosta de: Nirvana, Melvins, Mudhoney, Dinossaur Jr. e L7.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seatlle Sound #10: Tad is one of that classic cases of a band with good instrumental and annoying vocals. Tad Doyle is not the best singer in the world and everybody knows it.

Neil Young - [1973] Time Fades Away

Esse é o único disco do Neil que ainda não ganhou uma versão em cd. Então, se você tiver o LP, proteja-o com sua vida, pois provavelmente ele vai valer uma fortuna se a situação continuar a mesma. Na turnê de 73, Neil Young resolveu tocar algumas inéditas e tal. Gravou todas elas e lançou nesse disco, o que é bem legal pois só existem versões dessas músicas ao vivo. E é ao vivo que Neil Young mostra por que ele é o cara mais legal do rock. Vida longa ao Tio Neil! Top 3: "Time Fades Away", "Don't Be Denied", "Last Dance". Pra quem gosta de: Bob Dylan, Big Star, Creedence Cleartwater Revival, Joni Mitchell e Van Morrison.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the only record in Neil Young's catalog that still doesn't released as a CD. So, if you have this lp in your home in some vault under your stairs, keep it there! It must value a lot of money now. Whatever, Neil Young record this album in his american tour in 73. He play all these inedit material and put together in this album. In other words, it's a live album with only new material. And everybody knows that Neil is better live. Classic!Top 3: "Time Fades Away", "Don't Be Denied", "Last Dance".

Monster Magnet - [1992] Spine Of God

Primeiro do Magnet, ainda com John McBain (Hater, Wellwater Conspiracy, Desert Sessions) na guitarra. Muito mais viajente e psicodélico que o Superjudge. Talvez devido a presença do próprio McBain. Dificil destacar algo num disco tão bom, mas acho que a faixa-titulo, Spine Of God merece o prêmio de melhor faixa do albúm. Lembra The End dos Doors as vezes, só que bem mais pesada e viajante. Clássico do Stoner Rock! Top 3: "Medicine" , "Spine Of God", "Snake Dance". Pra quem gosta de: Hawkwind, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains e Soundgarden.

------------------------------------------------------------

First Magnet's album, still with John McBain (Hater, Wellwater Conspiracy, Desert Sessions) on guitar. Much more spacy and psychedelic thant their second record, Superjudge. Maybe the reason for this is the presence of McBain itself. Is hard to highlith a song in such good album, but the title-track is a good choice. Spine of God have something similar with The End from The Doors, but in a heavier way. A Stoner Rock Classic! Top 3: "Medicine" , "Spine Of God", "Snake Dance".

James Gang - [1971] Thirds

Outra banda superestimada na minha opinião pelos "velhos" rockeiros. Claro que o "Rides Again" é um ótimo disco, mas falar que eles eram uma grande banda é forçar um pouco. Boa banda, só. Tirando "Walk Away", num tem nada de muito marcante nesse disco. E tem gente que chama de clássico, pffff. Top 3: "Walk Away", "Midnight Man", "White Man, Black Man". Para aqueles que gostam de: Grand Funk Railroad, Status Quo, The Who, Eagles e Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another overrated band in my opinion. "Rides Again", their second record is very good and enjoyable, but this "Thirds" is nothing more than ok. They were just a good band, nothing exceptional. "Walk Away" is the only moment that really shines on this album. And some people still call them a "classic band". Pfff... Top 3: "Walk Away", "Midnight Man", "White Man, Black Man".

Grand Funk Railroad - [1970] Closer To Home

O pessoal que viveu os anos 70 insiste que o Grand Funk Railroad é uma bandassa. Pera lá! Eles são no máximo uma banda boa. Nada de extraordinário. Faziam musicas legais, discos legais, mas nada de fantastico. Red Album eu acho um ótimo disco, muito bom mesmo, mas ouvir que este Closer To Home é um clássico é exagerar um pouco. Por exemplo, "Get It Together" e "Hooked On Love" tem os piores backing vocals que eu já ouvi na minha vida! Jesus Cristo! que mulheres péssimas! Em compensação, "Sin's A Good Man's Brother" é muito boa, assim como "Mean Mistreater" e "Nothing Is The Same". Fora que essas letrinhas de paz e amor são um saco, esse papo todo de "brothers and sisters, isso e aquilo, i love the human race" ... baaah. Disco bonzinho no máximo. Pior ainda é ouvir que o Grand Funk é uma banda pesada ... esse pessoal não sabe o que é Black Sabbath não? Top 3: "Sin's A Good Man's Brother" , "Nothing Is The Same" , "Mean Mistreater". Pra quem gosta de: Cactus, Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, James Gang e Mountain.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

People who lived in 70's insists that Grand Funk Railroad is a great band. C'mon, they are nothing more than a good band, nothing really fantastic. Ok, "Red Album" is a very good album, but this "Closer To Home" is not that thing. For example, "Get It Together" and "Hooked On Love" have the worst backing vocals that i've heard in my whole life! Christ, those women singing is terrible. But being fair, "Sin's A Good Man's Brother" is a great track, with a catchy riff. The same happens to "Mean Mistreater" and "Nothing Is The Same". Well, is a good album for sure, but not a classic. Just a good album. The annoying thing is hear people calling GFR as a heavy band. They never listened to Black Sabbath? Top 3: "Sin's A Good Man's Brother" , "Nothing Is The Same" , "Mean Mistreater". For those who likes: Cactus, Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, James Gang and Mountain.

Eagles - [1973] Desperado

Eagles é sem duvida nenhuma a maior farsa da história do rock! O bandinha sem graça. Eu tento gostar deles, vivo dando chance pra eles, mas eles sempre voltam pra lista das bandas enganadoras (U2, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, P.J.Harvey...). Tirando "Out Of Control", todas as outras músicas são bem aquém do esperado. Alias, nem sei por que to postando eles aqui, ehehhe. Top 3: "Out Of Control", "Tequilla Sunrise", "Desperado". Pra quem gosta de: James Gang, The Byrds, Lisa Ronstadt, James Taylor e Flying Burrito Brothers.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Without a doubt, Eagles is the biggest farce of rock n' roll! I'm always giving them a chance, but in the end, they back to my list of boring bands (U2, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, P.J. Harvey...). Except "Out Of Control", all the songs are very disappointed. Just don't know why people think about this album as a classic. Top 3: "Out Of Control", "Tequilla Sunrise", "Desperado". For those who likes: James Gang, The Byrds, Lisa Ronstadt, James Taylor and Flying Burrito Brothers.

Cream - [1995] The Very Best Of

O adoradores do Clapton podem reclamar a vontade (e eu sou um deles) mas o Cream pra mim é Jack Bruce e CIA. Como cantava esse homem. Infelizmente, dizem que ele é o ser mais antipático do mundo. Paciência. Mas um cara que escreve "We're Going Wrong" e canta "Spoonful" do jeito que ele canta, pode ser chato a vontade. Top 3: "Crossroads" , "We're Going Wrong" , "SWLABR". Pra quem gosta de: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Blind Faith, Traffic e Masters Of Reality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clapton lovers (wich include me) certainly doesn't like this idea, but for me, Cream was Jack Bruce's band. This guy sings like no other! Unfortunately, he's an asshole. But a guy who writes "We're Going Wrong" and sings "Spoonful" that way, is totally forgiven. Top 3: "Crossroads" , "We're Going Wrong" , "SWLABR". For those who likes: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Blind Faith, Traffic and Masters Of Reality.

The Black Crowes - [2008] Warpaint

Com o ano chegando ao fim, já dá pra dar o posto de melhor disco do ano de 2008 para o Warpaint do Black Crowes. A não ser que o tal do Chinese Democracy do Guns N' Roses seja aquela coisa... Dig Out Your Soul do Oasis bateu na trave, mas num teve jeito, os irmãos Robinson levam o grande prêmio, na minha (quase) modesta opinião. Acho que o principal mérito do disco é a duração. Cinquenta minutos, não muito longo. Num aguento mais aqueles discos que tem 15 musicas e não acabam mais. Chris está cantando maravilhosamente bem e as composições são as mais coesas desde Three Snakes & One Charm de 1996. Outro ponto forte é ver que o Chris, ao contrário da maioria dos seus contemporâneos envelheceu muito bem (viu Sr. Cornell e Sr. Vedder). Legal também é ficar identificando as mensagens (e os xingos) pra Kate Hudson nas letras. Demorou pra sair mas valeu muito a pena! Top 3: "Walk Believer Walk", "Wee Who See The Deep", "Locust Street". Pra quem gosta de: North Mississippi All-Stars, Gov't Mule, Buffallo Killers, Wilco e Black Keys.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the year almost finishing, I choose Warpaint of The Black Crowes as the best album of the year 2008. Ok, I'm still waiting to hear Chinese Democracy and Dig Out Your Soul almost get the first place, but the Robinson's Brothers make it again. This album has the most cohesive set of songs since Three Snakes & One Charm. Chris is singing brightly and soulful than ever and the addition of Luther Dickinson in lead guitar brings a new power to the band. Simply great! Top 3: "Walk Believer Walk", "Wee Who See The Deep", "Locust Street". For those who likes: North Mississippi All-Stars, Gov't Mule, Buffallo Killers, Wilco e Black Keys.

The Verve - [1994] No Come Down

Coletânea de singles e b-sides lançada em 1994. A versão ao vivo de Gravity Grave no Glastonbury é sensacional. E a versão americana de Blue é mais legal que a do disco A Storm In Heaven, pelo menos eu acho. Top 3: "Blue (USA Mix)", "Butterfly (Acoustic)" , "Gravity Grave (Live)". Pra quem gosta de: Stone Roses, Suede, Oasis, Ride e Echo & The Bunnymen.

Twilight Singers - [2003] Blackberry Belle

Greg Dulli vem se provando um cara muito talentoso através dos anos. Seja com o Afghan Whigs, com o Twilight Singers ou com o Gutter Twins, o cara sempre mostra bom serviço. Mais ou menos o que acontece com o Mark Lanegan (que aparece aqui na faixa "Number Nine"), o John Garcia e o Chris Goss. Esse é o único do Twilight que já ouvi inteiro e, apesar de num ser tão diferente assim dos Whigs, é um belo de um disco. Bom pra qualquer hora. Top 3: "Teenage Wristband" , "The Killer", "Number Nine". Pra quem gosta de: Afghan Whigs, Mark Lanegan, Gutter Twins, Eleven e Brad.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greg Dulli has been proved that he is a very talented guy over the years. With all of his bands (Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers, Gutter Twins), he's been shown a very good work. This one, Blackberry Belle, is the only one of Twilight that I've hearded entirely and even sounding like a Afghan Whigs record, it's still a very good work. This is a good listen for any hour of the day. Top 3: "Teenage Wristband" , "The Killer" , "Number Nine". For those who likes: Afghan Whigs, Mark Lanegan, Gutter Twins, Eleven and Brad.

Queens Of The Stone Age - [1998] Queens Of The Stone Age

Praticamente um tratado do Stoner Rock. A combinação instrumental pesado e vocais doces dão um charme pra esse disco que dá gosto! Josh Homme é definitivamente um dos melhores guitarristas (e talvez o mais subestimado) dos anos 90. Simplesmente excelente! Top 3: "Walkin On The Sidewalks" , "How To Handle A Hope" e "Mexicola". Pra quem gosta de: Masters Of Reality, Fu Manchu, Soundgarden, Kyuss e Nebula. Mais um da série de discos com ótimas capas =P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, this is a Stoner Rock masterpiece. The combination between the heavy sound of the instruments and the sweet vocals put a charm on this record. Josh Homme is one of the most underrated guitar players in the 90's, unfortunatelly. Already a classic! Top 3: "Walkin On The Sidewalks" , "How To Handle A Hope" , "Mexicola". For those who likes: Masters Of Reality, Fu Manchu, Soundgarden, Kyuss e Nebula.

Jayhawks - [1995] Tomorrow The Green Grass

A um tempo atrás, eu comentei que o Hollywood Town Hall do Jayhawks era o melhor pra começar a gostar da banda, mas não o melhor da discografia deles. Eis aqui o disco em que eu acho que as melhores composições da banda se encontram. Não tão diferente do Hollywood... , mas o backin vocal feminino dá um charme a mais para o som. Muito, mas muito bom mesmo! Top 3: "Blue" , "Two Hearts" , "Bad Time". Pra quem gosta de: Wilco, Black Crowes, Ryan Adams, Victoria Williams e Neil Young.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time ago, I said that Hollywood Town Hall was the best Jayhawks' record to know the band but not the best record in their discography. Tomorrow The Green Grass is not so diferent, but the female backin vocals put something lighter and more beatiful in the songs of the band. A classic from the 90's

Hermano - [2005] Dare I Say...

Tudo que o John Garcia faz é legal, impressionante. De bandas a participações, ele acerta em tudo. Esse mês ele deve lançar seu primeiro disco solo. To aguardando ansiosamente. Enquanto isso, ficamos com o Hermano, banda que começou como projeto paralelo ao Unida mas acabou virando titular da coisa toda. Rock N'Roll pé em baixo e bem raivoso. Bom pra dirigir (pelo menos é o que dizem, eu num tenho carteira de motorista =P). A banda ainda conta com Steve Earle, ex-Afghan Whigs na bateria. Sei lá por que, algumas musicas me lembram a carreira solo do Jerry Cantrell. Top 3: "Life" , "Brother Bjork" , "Murder One". Pra quem gosta de: Unida, Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Fu Manchu e Jerry Cantrell.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything that John Garcia does is cool. Can't wait for his first solo record, wich is going to be released this month. Before this, let's enjoy Hermano, a project that became a main band for Garcia in 2005 when they released this record. Full driven rock n' roll that reminds me something that Jerry Cantrell already done, wich is a very good thing. Play as loud as you can! Top 3: "Life" , "Brother Bjork" , "Murder One". For those who likes: Unida, Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Fu Manchu e Jerry Cantrell.

Free - [1970] Fire And Water

Muito antes de Robert Plant, David Coverdale, Ian Gillan, Steven Tyler e Chris Robinson darem as choradas deles no microfone, Paul Rodgers já era "O" vocal do rock. E olha que ele gravou o primeiro disco com o Free só com 18 anos hein! Um pouco mais pop que os anteriores, mas ainda sim um discasso! Top 3: "Fire And Water" , "Remember" , "Mr. Big". Pra quem gosta de: Led Zeppelin, Cream, Humble Pie, AC/DC e Whitesnake.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before Plant, Coverdale, Gillan, Tyler and Robinson starts to whisper, scream and howl in the microfone, Paul Rodgers, with only 18 years old, was the boss! With one of the best voices in the history of rock n roll, Free released this classic in 1970. Simply perfect! Top 3: "Fire And Water" , "Remember" , "Mr. Big". For those who likes: Led Zeppelin, Cream, Humble Pie, AC/DC and Whitesnake.

Danzig - [1988] Danzig 1

Esse disco é da época em que Glenn Danzig ainda ocupava seu tempo gravando discos legais ao invés de ficar adorando o todo-poderoso Satã. Mais ou menos um misto de Black Sabbath com The Doors, esse disco é um clássico do fim da década de 80. Hoje, o senhor Danzig tá mais ocupado em dar uma de Incrível Hulk, infelizmente. A um século ele tá prometendo um disco de blues com Jerry Cantrell, mas pelo jeito parece ser conversa fiada. Que pena. Mas o disco é sonzeira! Top 3: "Twist Of Cain" , "Soul On Fire", "Am I Demon". Pra quem gosta de: Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Cult, Led Zeppelin e Alice In Chains.

------------------------------------------------------------------

This record is from the time that Glenn Danzig was more ocuppied recording good albuns than spreading the word of the all mighty Satan. Something between The Doors and Black Sabbath, Danzig I is a classic from 80's. Today, Danzig is more busy trying to be The Incredible Hulk, unfortunately. What a shame. But Danzig I still is a great hard rock album. Enjoy it! Top 3: "Twist Of Cain" , "Soul On Fire", "Am I Demon". For those who likes: Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Cult, Led Zeppelin and Alice In Chains.

Masters Of Reality - [1997] How High The Moon: Live At The Viper Room

Num vou ficar aqui falando mais uma vez o quanto eu acho o Chris Goss um gênio. Só falar que as inéditas desse ao vivo ("Alder Smoke Blues" e "Swingeroo Joe") e a participação de Scott Weilland do Stone Temple Pilots ("Jindalee Jindalie") valem o disco. Top 3: "Alder Smoke Blues", "Doraldina's Prophecies" e "Jindalee Jindalie". Pra quem gosta de: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Cream, Queens Of The Stone Age, Unida.

Everybody knows what I think about Chris goss. So, let's just listen to this great live record, in wich Chris put two new songs ("Alder Smoke Blues" and "Swingeroo Joe") and share vocals with Scott Weilland from Stone Temple Pilots ("Jindalee Jindalie").
