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. Not as good as they material in 90's, but very cool one. Top Top: "Change Has Come". For those who likes: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Dinossaur Jr., Soundgarden, Kyuss.

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! Top Top: "In 'N' Out Of Grace". For those who likes: Nirvana, Stooges, MC5, Thee Hypnotics and Melvins.

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" . But here, finally, the partners really shines. Good old times when Eddie Vedder was cool and not a Bono Vox wannabe. Top Top: "I Got Id".

Nirvana - [1989] Blew EP

Seattle Sound #6: Esse EP é facil facil um dos melhores lançamentos do Nirvana. Muito legal mesmo. Aqui, a banda ainda não era o que veio a ser. Olhando pra trás, Kurt faz muita falta hoje em dia. Top Top: "Blew". Para aqueles que gostam de: Melvins, Mudhoney, Tad, Screaming Trees e Hole.

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

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". For those who likes: Nirvana, Fantômas, Tad, Mudhoney and L7.

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. But here is easy to see that Mark Arm was the boss and directioned all the songs. Very interesting to know how everything begins. Top Top: "Swallow My Pride".

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. Maybe with a better singer, the band could have challenging the other Seattle bands at the time. But, whatever, the music is good and that's the main thing here. Top Top: "High On The Hog".

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". For those who likes: Bob Dylan, Big Star, Creedence Cleartwater Revival, Joni Mitchell e Van Morrison.

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". For those who likes: Hawkwind, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains e Soundgarden.

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". For those who likes: Grand Funk Railroad, Status Quo, The Who, Eagles e Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

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...).
