A rock and roll classic! One of the best LP’s of the 1970’s.
This was the bands first album and it debuted in 1973 and no one bought it (it ended up going platinum after the band became a worldwide sensation) An underrated masterpiece.
1973 was too early for the world …

Following up the lackluster 2006 release “The Information” should not be a difficult thing for loser iconoclast Beck, but “Modern Guilt” is yet another disappointing effort in a period of artistic decline that began with 2005’s “Guero”. It was in 2005 that Beck began to recycle ideas he had …

She’s Always in my Hair is the B-side to Prince’s 1985 single, Paisley Park. It is an amazing track and has always been my all-time favourite B-side of the Purple One. I used to have the 12″ vinyl back in the day but in a fit of …

In my opinion, it is really rare for a celebrity such as an actor/actress or famous athlete to successfully cross over into the music industry. That is why when I found out that Jared Leto’s band 30 Seconds to Mars actually sounds really good, I was seriously impressed. The …
