Been there and back again
The state that I am in." (The state that I am in)

Pretenders
4/5
"Now I see you
All impressed and half undressed
You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps" (Tattooed love boys)
"I said child, child staring into the street light
And messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten" (The wait)
"Your private life drama baby leave me out
J'ai les glands with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's o.k. on TV 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial I hate anything official" (Private life)
¡Qué alegría escuchar a una señora para variar!

4/5
"Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you" (A means to an end)
"Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings
Open, then shut, then slammed in our face" (Decades)
Lo voy a escuchar una segunda vez y terminaré dando me gusta a todas las canciones, que ya sé yo cómo funciona esto.

Van Morrison
3/5
"And as you leave, the room is filled with music
Laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room
And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all" (Madame George)
"And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Astral Weeks)
Quizás no el mejor disco para ponerte a trabajar a las nueve de la mañana si necesitas un poco de marchita, pero sí para tener de fondo una tarde pocha al lado de la estufa.
The Crusaders
3/5
No es el tipo de disco que yo elegiría escuchar (la música instrumental me apetece escucharla sólo en momentos muy concretos), pero suena súper bien.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
"And the flat world's flying, and there's a new plague on the land" (The Rover)
Me da un poco de pena lo mucho que me aburre escuchar Led Zeppelin más de cinco minutos seguidos. La portada de este disco es súper bonita tho.
Arcade Fire
4/5
"He tore our images out of his pictures
He scratched our names out of all his letters
Our mother should have just named you Laika" (Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
Debería escuchar más Arcade Fire porque la verdad es que me gustan un montón.
Wilco
4/5
"I always thought that if I held you tightly
You would always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?" (I am trying to break your heart)
"You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun" (Jesus, etc.)
War flashbacks del año que hice selectividad. ¡Este disco es mucho más cursi de lo que recordaba!
Otis Redding
3/5
"You were tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me" (I've Been Loving You Too Long)
"Shake it like a bowl of soup" (Shake)
Aquí estoy, empezando la mañana con un bailecito.
Michael Jackson
4/5
"You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
Still they hate you (still they hate you)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're just a buffet (you're just a buffet)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
They eat off of you (they eat off of you)
You're a vegetable" (Wanna be startin' somethin')
Otro disco que también es MUCHÍSIMO más cursi de lo que recordaba. Mogollón de temazos, con este me he espabilado en cero coma.
Peter Frampton
3/5
"I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea" (Show me the way)
No me interesa especialmente Peter Frampton pero esta portada vive de gratis en mi cabeza.
The Pogues
4/5
"In blood and death neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me" (A pair of brown eyes)
"They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur.
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep
That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep." (Navigator)
Pero esto es BASTANTE FANTASÍA TODO.
Ice Cube
3/5
"White man, is somethin I tried to study
But I got my hands bloody, yeah" (When will the shoot?)
Me ha gustado mucho cómo funcionan los inserts en este disco
Ice T
3/5
"I'll never go broke, I got property
Got a dope pitbull named Felony" (Ziplock)
"I got nothin to lose, much to gain,
In my brain, I got a capitalist migraine." (New Jack Hustler)
Ice T es un señor con mucho talento y muy bueno en lo suyo, pero también es el detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola en Ley y Orden y no puedo pensar en otra cosa.
KISS
3/5
"It's so sad, livin' at home" (KIng of the Night Time World)
¿Me pondría a escuchar discos de KISS por voluntad propia? No. ¿Pero me lo paso bien cuando cuadra y lo hago? Totalmente.
Prefab Sprout
3/5
"Antiques!
Every other sentiments an antique
As obsolete as warships in the baltic" (Faron Young)
"Here she is with two small problems
And the best part of the blame
Wishes she could call him heartache
But it's not a boy's name" (Appetite)
"Life's not complete
Till your heart's missed a beat" (Goodbye Lucille #1)
Bastantes frasacas, pero me parece que estoy demasiado dormida para apreciar algo tan de tranqui. Me lo tendré que poner otra vez un día que lleve encima más cafés.
The Black Keys
4/5
"I wanted love, I needed love
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall" (Tighten Up)
"And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo" (Sinister Kid)
Ningún disco de The Black Keys va a ser tan bueno como aquel que contenga Lonely Boy, pero es un buen intento.
Os Mutantes
4/5
"Mas as pessoas na sala de jantar
São ocupadas em nascer e morrer" (Panis et circenses)
"Você precisa saber da piscina
Da margarina, da Carolina, da gasolina
Você precisa saber de mim" (Baby)
Pues todo bien por aquí
Magazine
3/5
"You always collect your fists
When my shadow falls upon your hands
You're just giving body heat away
But they say you're a nice enough young man" (My Tylpa)
""Why are you so edgy, kid?"
Asks the man with the voice" (Shot by both sides)
"Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love
Sometimes I forget my position" (Parade)
Me gustan bastante las letras de este disco, pero se me hace un poco cuesta arriba la música. Too much progresivos para mí.
Joy Division
4/5
"Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you" (A means to an end)
"Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings
Open, then shut, then slammed in our face" (Decades)
Lo voy a escuchar una segunda vez y terminaré dando me gusta a todas las canciones, que ya sé yo cómo funciona esto.
Fela Kuti
3/5
"Go and kill! (Joro, jaro, joro)
Go and die! (Joro, jaro, joro)
Go and quench! (Joro, jaro, joro)
Put am for reverse! (Joro, jaro, joro)" (Zombie)
Cómo que canciones de 15 minutos para un lunes por la mañana, me voy a tirar por la ventana.
Television
3/5
"It was a tight tour night, streets so bright.
The world was so thin and between my bones and skin." (Venus)
Ah, el disco de las canciones adyacentes a otras canciones que sí conozco.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
"Wham, Bham, Birmingham" (Rip this joint)
Escuchando este disco y pensando alternativamente en los "NO" y "Yes" y "NO FUNNY" de John Mulaney imitando a Mick Jagger.
The Dictators
3/5
"I don't want music, I want pain!" (Master Race Rock)
La portada es de 10 pero el disco un poco sin más.
Syd Barrett
3/5
"Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
Meant even less to me than I thought" (Octopus)
Mejor de lo que esperaba pero aún así un poco de cortarse las venas.
Iron Maiden
3/5
"The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen" (Invaders)
"He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows, he wants to go home" (Children of the damned)
Menos divertido de lo que una esperaba, a veces la épica puede ser demasiada épica y me he tenido que poner la purpurina por el medio.
Veintitantos discos después aún estoy esperando el primero hecho por una señora...
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
"Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)" (Breaking the girl)
"K-i-s-s-i-n-g
Chicka chicka dee
Do me like a banshee" (Suck my kiss)
Cómo puede ser tan aburrido el disco con una portada de una gente con lenguas de tatuajes tribales dosmileros, no me lo explico. Menos mal que tiene "Give it away" y "Under the bridge".
Fairport Convention
3/5
"And you will strike the very first blow
And strike it like a man
I will strike the very next blow
And I'll kill you if I can" (Matty Groves)
"And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons?
"Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
For they loathe me, every one"" (Farewell, farewell)
Un disco para volver a escuchar un día que no tenga ochomil cosas que hacer, buena música para escribir. ¡¡Por fin una señora!!
Ramones
5/5
"Second verse, same as the first" (Judy is a punk)
"Well let's dance, well let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let's dance, well let's dance" (Let's dance)
¿Le voy a clavar mis primeras cinco estrellas a un disco que tiene sólo dos melodías para las canciones? Ya te digo yo que sí.
Wu-Tang Clan
3/5
"The sword?
come on, give him the sword" (Clan in da front)
"Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah" (Da mystery of chessboxin)
Bastante fascinada con todo el concepto del Wu-Tang Clan, la verdad.
Dirty Projectors
4/5
"I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line" (Cannibal resource)
"On top of every mountain
There was a great longing
For another even higher mountain
In each city longing for a bigger city" (Stillness is the move)
Pues bastante bien, me gustan mucho las letras y el arte es muy bonito.
James Taylor
3/5
"There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me" (Sweet baby James)
"Sunny Skies weeps in the evening
It doesn't much matter why
I guess he just has to cry from time to time" (Sunny Skies)
Bastante bien, cada vez más metida en el country.
Cat Stevens
3/5
"I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on a floor
They move so smooth but have no answers
When you ask, "Why'd you come here for?"" (Hard headed woman)
"Well I found myself alone
Hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me" (On the road to find out)
Todo en este disco me resulta más familiar de lo que pensaba que iba a ser. Buena escucha, la verdad.
Sam Cooke
3/5
"Don't fight the chip" (Feel it)
"You know we sang so many notes
So many fan songs
We get it twisted a little while" (It's alright/ For sentimental reasons)
La gente que fue a este concierto se lo tuvo que pasar SÚPER BIEN.
The Everly Brothers
3/5
"Sigh, cry, almost die
I can't kiss you again" (Sigh, cry, almost die)
Me gusta bastante este tipo de música, pero en cuanto te fijas un poco todo se vuelve mega creepy.
Milton Nascimento
3/5
"Você pega o trem azul, o Sol na cabeça
O Sol pega o trem azul, você na cabeça
O Sol na cabeça" (O trem azul)
"Se eu cantar não chore não
É só poesia" (Um girassol da cor do seu cabelo)
"Porque se chamava moço
Também se chamava estrada" (Clube da esquina n.2)
Siempre contenta cuando me toca escuchar algo que no está en inglés.
Pretenders
4/5
"Now I see you
All impressed and half undressed
You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps" (Tattooed love boys)
"I said child, child staring into the street light
And messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten" (The wait)
"Your private life drama baby leave me out
J'ai les glands with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's o.k. on TV 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial I hate anything official" (Private life)
¡Qué alegría escuchar a una señora para variar!
Steely Dan
3/5
"When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you" (Aja)
"They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose" (Deacon Blues)
Entiendo que es por el género pero qué cuesta arriba escuchar canciones tan largas. Me gustan mucho a ratos pero en seguida pierdo el hilo.
Shivkumar Sharma
3/5
Lo más "original" que he escuchado hasta ahora. Poca música no occidental en lo mainstream, y aunque no sea yo muy dada a lo instrumental pues se agradece.
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
"!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda" (De camino a la vereda)
"Yo soy el árbol conmovido y triste" (¿Y tú qué has hecho)
Increíble pero me sé como la mitad de canciones de este disco sin tener recuerdo de haberlo escuchado nunca. Un beso a Elíades Ochoa, rey.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
"'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin" (I don't want to hear it anymore)
"You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress" (Breakfast in bed)
¡Primer disco íntegro de una señora desde que empecé esta cosa! !Milagro divino!
Blondie
5/5
"I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall" (Hanging on the telephone)
"All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing
A vision of you
All I want is a room with a view" (Picture this)
"Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11: 59, and I want to stay alive" (11:59)
"Don't be cruel
Be a thing - sweet thing
As a rule" (Just go away)
El meme de Gordon Ramsay diciendo "Finally, Some Good Fucking Food".
Nico
3/5
"And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long" (These days)
"The river shall flow through hollow green faces
Of caricature's resentment etched out of the tongues.
Both reluctant princess asleep before birth
The classical sensitive failures.
The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart
Lying there and wait with your angels
Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk
The avaricious young lovers." (Winter song)
"I can't help it if you might think I am odd
If I say I'm not loving you for what you are
But for what you're not." (I'll keep it with me)
Menos mal que nadie me pidió que adivinase el género de este disco antes de escucharlo, porque "juglaresa mística folklórica" ni siquiera habría estado en la lista.
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
"Oh, but for chips and for freedom, I could die" (Jacqueline)
"Michael, you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips" (MIchael)
The Avalanches
3/5
"Tonight may have to last me all my life" (Tonight)
Me parece muy interesante y un trabajazo que todas las canciones estén unidas unas con otras, pero al mismo tiempo eso hace que pierda un poco el hilo.
Happy Mondays
3/5
"Show you what the cats been doing, and how he gets around
You can't wake him, he's not sleeping
He never comes down "(Grandbag's funeral)
"Honey how's your breathing
If it stops for good we'll be leaving" (Dennis and Lois)
O wikipedia o yo tenemos un concepto equivocado de lo que es "house". Empieza bastante arriba, pero se hace un poco repetitivo hacia la mitad.
Traffic
3/5
"His hands are torn and bloodied from the scratching at his soul" (Stranger to himself)
Me lo termino de escuchar porque es un disco cortito, pero la verdad es que no estoy conectando nada con él!
R.E.M.
3/5
"Laocoön and her two sons
Pressured storm, tried to move
No other more emotion bound
Martyred, misconstrued" (Laughing)
"Not everyone can carry the weight of the world" (Talk about the passion)
Nada de lo que diga será justo porque llevo encima como tres horas de sueño y lo odio todo. Me lo tendré que volver a escuchar.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
3/5
"I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going 'round the sun." (I need a man to love)
"Babe, and I cry all the time" (Piece of my heart)
Siempre está bien empezar el día escuchando a Janis Joplin, aunque me gustan más sus temas en solitario. La portada de este disco es de pesadilla, eso sí.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
"First let's hear somebody sing me a record
That cries pure and true
No not those guitars, they're too noisy and crude
The kind that convinces, refuses to leave" (Let's make this precious)
"And you'll hum this tune forever" (Come on Eileen)
HostiA QUÉ SORPRESA ESTE DISCO.
Pixies
4/5
"Don't know about you
But I am un chien andalusia" (Debaser)
"What's that floatin' in the water?
Oh, Neptune's only daughter" (Mr. Grieves)
El resto del disco sin más, pero Debaser es tan locurote que le voy a poner cuatro estrellas igualmente.
Thelonious Monk
3/5
No tengo mucho que decir a parte de que esta gente es talentosísima. De los discos instrumentales que me han salido aquí, uno de los que más he disfrutado.
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
"And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time" (The dangling conversation)
"I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored
I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed
That's the hand I use, well, never mind" (A simple desultory philippic (or how I was Robert Mcnamara'd into submission)"
Siempre tengo un poco de debilidad por las canciones donde la música es :) pero la letra es :(. Tampoco me habría importado que todo el disco fuese como "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme".
The B-52's
3/5
"Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head" (Planet Claire)
"We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster!" (Rock lobster)
"There's a moon in the sky
It's called the moon" (There's a moon in the sky (called the moon))
Aprecio mucho el altísimo componente mamarracho de las letras de este disco.
Miles Davis
3/5
Puedo apreciar el trabajazo que tiene esto detrás, lo revolucionario de la integración de nuevos elementos en el jazz y toda la vaina pero ¿cómo que TU DISCO DE CASI DOS HORAS SÓLO TIENE 7 CANCIONES, MILES DAVIS?
The Cure
4/5
"Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
It's just the way I smile, you said" (Plainsong)
"You stifle me
Infectious sense of Hopelessness and prayers for rain" (Prayers for rain)
Madre mía, cuánto me gusta The Cure, qué vergüenza.
Elvis Presley
3/5
"Baby, if you ever loved me
Then Bonnie and Clyde loved the law" (Wearin' that loved on look)
Decidme quién le hizo tanto daño a este pobre señor.
El disco muy bien pero tengo que ser clara, la versión buena de In The Ghetto es la del Príncipe Gitano.
Green Day
5/5
"No one ever died for my
Sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones that I got away with" (Jesus of Suburbia)
"Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal" (St. Jimmy)
A Green Day sí le permito hacer canciones de más de cinco minutos.
X-Ray Spex
4/5
"I know you're antiseptic, your deodorant smells nice
I'd like to get to know you but you're deep-frozen like the ice" (Germfree adolescence)
Obsesionada con las pintas de esta gente, decepcionada con que haya tan pocas fotos en internet.
LCD Soundsystem
4/5
"Oh you'd write on your hand to remember
If someone, if someone would just, pass you a pen" (other voices)
"I used to see your hands in their weird positions
Used to like your head when you'd watch musicians" (i used to)
"Everybody's singing the same song
It goes: tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
I never realized these artists thought so much about dying" (tonite)
Tremendas letras tiene este disco.
The Stooges
3/5
"I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am the world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys" (Search and destroy)
Le pongo un 3/5 temporal porque me habría gustado escucharlo con más calma pero justo hoy tenía que ser el día que más me toca trabajar del año. Lo que escucho así por encima me gusta, Iggy Pop es siempre un poco mis goals en la vida.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
"We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times" (Back to Black)
"All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to" (Tears dry on their own)
Tenía muchas ganas de que me saliese este disco porque SABÍA que tenía que estar en la lista y me gusta un montón.
Sigur Rós
4/5
No puedo citar nada porque ni idea de lo que dicen, pero me gusta mucho este disco. La verdad es que respeto un montón el trabajo de esta gente y la decisión de hacerlo en su idioma, ojalá más gente se animase (o tuviese la oportunidad de llegar a los canales comerciales, más bien)
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
"I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
Hoping," (Keep on growing)
"Please, leave me alone
Nothing in this world can make me stay
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home" (Anyday)
Un poco decepcionada con este disco, porque "Layla" me parece un temazo pero todo lo demás un poco meh.
3/5
"You got both hands
You got praying hands
They pray for no man
O.k, relax" (Praying hands)
"Think I got a big mac attack
Hold the pickles hold the lettuce" (Too much paranoias)
Meh.
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
"Lover, lover let's pretend
We're born as innocents
Cast into the world
With apple eyes" (Geek USA)
"I'll sing for you
If you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break" (Luna)
yo a los dos minutos: bueno, tampoco es tan deprimente esto.
yo a los diez minutos: deja que ponga Montero porque me voy a tirar por la ventana.
Death In Vegas
3/5
"You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon" (Soul auctioneer)
Parece que esta es la SEMANA DE LOS GOTICAZOS. No me ha súper cautivado, pero funciona guay como disco y tiene algunas canciones interesantes (y no se hace muy machacón, que es mi miedo siempre con la electrónica).
Grizzly Bear
3/5
"Go on, let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)" (Cheerleader)
Tenía esperanzas en que este disco me gustase pero la verdad es que me ha aburrido un poco.
John Coltrane
3/5
De los discos de jazz que me salieron hasta ahora, creo que es el que más me gustó.
Massive Attack
3/5
"Don't want to be on top of your list...
Phenomenally and properly kissed..." (Karmacoma)
Me esperaba un poco más de caña para un grupo con ese nombre.
Steely Dan
3/5
"You'll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo
You'll be grooving high or relaxing at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you" (Parker's Band)
"I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time" (Pretzel logic)
New Order
4/5
"My friend took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death" (The perfect kiss)
"(Whatever you may think of me whatever you may say
I've lived my whole life in danger,
You've lived your life in hate)" (Sunrise)
Beatles
3/5
"I told you about the walrus and me, man
You know we're as close as can be, man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul." (Glass Onion)
"The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in
If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him
All the children sing" (Bungalow Bill)
Me pasa una cosa con los Beatles que es que no me disgustan, pero escuchar una hora y media de ellos me da TANTÍSIMA PEREZA. Este disco tiene "Blackbird", que es la canción suya que más me gusta, así que al menos eso bien.
Janet Jackson
3/5
"Not to say that I'm in love with you
But who's to say that I'm not" (Miss you much)
"The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become" (Livin' in a wolrd)
Me ha resultado muy interesante 1. cómo está montado todo el disco como un continuo 2. que sea un disco tan reivindicativo desde el primer segundo. La verdad es que no conocía mucho de la música de Janet Jackson y ahora me da pena.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
"Overground--I'll be worse than me
Overground--it's clear to me
I'll be worse than me" (Overground)
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer" (Helter Skelter)
No puedo decir absolutamente nada malo de unas personas que tienen esa pinta.
Mercury Rev
3/5
"You had to choose, a side to lose, and divide yourself in two
The way you were, long before, you were a walking civil war
But you forget, where the road goes, and tonite it shows" (Tonite it shows)
XTC
3/5
"Super, Supergirl
How you stopped the universe from dying
But you're never going to stop me crying" (That's really Super, Supergirl)
La verdad es que un poco meh, me da la impresión de ya haber escuchado este disco 20 veces entre los 1001 mejores.
Anita Baker
3/5
"I won't be neglected
I won't be denied
The pleasure of your kisses
The pleasure of your smile" (Been so long)
¡Qué voz! Por lo menos terminamos bien esta semana <3
Hugh Masekela
3/5
The White Stripes
4/5
"But I'm so tired of acting tough
And I'm gonna do what I please" (Hotel Yorba)
"I said I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating" (Fell in love with a girl)
Estoy poquísimo inspirada para escribir cosas muy repensadas últimamente pero este disco me gustó bastante.
Deep Purple
3/5
"Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began" (Speed king)
"In my mind
I had to fin
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool" (Flight of the rat)
Es posible que sea la persona del mundo a la que menos le interesa Deep Purple. Cómo que diez minutos de canción, señor, a dónde va usted.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
"No God up in the sky
No devil beneath the sea
Could do the job that you did, baby
Of bringing me to my knees
Outside I sit on the stone steps
With nothing much to do
Forlorn and exhausted, baby
By the absence of you" (Brompton Oratory)
"Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed" ((Are you) The one that I've been waiting for?)
Este disco es súper cursi y súper de querer tirarse por la ventana, pero supongo que una cosa se complementa con la otra y me gusta un montón.
Pink Floyd
3/5
"Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine" (Shine on you crazy diamond pt. i-v)
Le Tigre
4/5
"Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme" (Deceptacon)
"All that glitters is not gold
I went to your concert and I didn't feel anything (is not gold)" (The the empty)
Somos la víscera el puñetazo la hemorragia etc.
Belle & Sebastian
5/5
"I gave myself to sin, I gave
Myself to providence and I've
Been there and back again
The state that I am in." (The state that I am in)
"Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed" (Expectations)
*heart emoji*
Pink Floyd
4/5
"Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?" (Mother)
"What shall we use
To fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How should I complete the wall" (Empty spaces)
"I've got a pair of Gohills boots
But I got fading roots" (Nobody home)
Siempre a favor de los discos con estructura de musical.
Turbonegro
3/5
"You got nothing to lose at Pamparius
Gonna bake a motherfucking pizza tonight" (The age of Pamparius)
El mejor complemento para el día que tus vecinos están tirando todas las paredes de su piso.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
"We're covered by the sacred fire
When you come to me
You come to me broke" (Lorelei)
No sé si señalaría ninguna canción por separado como mi favorita, pero todo el disco tiene un aura de brujería muy guay.
Khaled
3/5
Me gusta que sea radicalmente distinto a todos los discos que me han salido hasta ahora, pero es que además tiene TREMENDOS TEMAZOS.
(eso sí, odio eterno a las versiones de Imagine. Nada justifica las versiones de Imagine).
Orange Juice
3/5
"Rip it up and start again
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out" (Rip it up)
"Is it wrong to let him walk into the water?
Close your eyes for just one moment
You get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet him
To turn away - he disappears into the tide
All your love it cannot save him
All your love it cannot save him" (Turn away)
Se me ha hecho un poco bola.
Quicksilver Messenger Service
3/5
"I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying," (Who do you love)
Funkadelic
3/5
"I recollect with a-mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations
For the coming separation
And you blew everything we had" (Can you get to that)
Lambchop
3/5
"The guy on the cross is holier than I
But then again he's made from plastic" (The gold old shoe)
The Only Ones
3/5
"I used to have the notion
I could swim the length of the ocean
If I knew you were waiting for me" (The whole of the law)
Barry Adamson
3/5
Casi paso de este disco y me alegro de no haberlo hecho porque tiene un rollo súper guay. Ya tengo la banda sonora, sólo me queda montarme la película.
The Young Rascals
3/5
"How's the weather?
Whether or not, we're together" (How can I be sure)
Volviendo después del parón con un disco ligerito. Todas las letras son un poco la misma letra, pero es fácil de escuchar y el ritmillo no está mal.
Underworld
3/5
"Homeless trees gathering
Outside your window bootleg babies call to you and lie among the mosquitoes
That summers fever coming
Cats are gathering outside your window" (Juanita/Kiteless/To dream of love)
Fui a mirar cuánto del disco llevaba pensando que sería más o menos la mitad y estaba por la mitad pero de la segunda canción.
Van Halen
3/5
"I am a victim of the science age
A child of the storm, whoa yes
I can't remember when I was your age
For me, it says no more, no more
Nobody rules these streets at night like me
The atomic punk" (Atomic punk)
Nunca pienso en escuchar Van Halen de forma activa, pero cuando me cuadra oírlos por lo que sea siempre paso un buen rato. Es música entretenida.
New Order
4/5
"Parasites and literasites
They'd burn me if they can" (All the way)
"The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child" (Round n round)
"Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too
I've searched all these places but never found you." (Mr Disco)
"Nothing in this world can touch the music that I've heard
When I woke up this morning" (Dram Attack)
bisexual rights
Jeff Buckley
3/5
"I'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm" (Mojo pin)
He pasado por este disco pero este disco no ha pasado por mí.
M.I.A.
5/5
"And we're hittin' our records like a tennis player
And the drummers do the shit like the macarena" (Bamboo banga)
"When you go Rwanda Congo
Take me on a genocide tour
Take me on a truck to Darfur
Take me where you would go
Got static on ya satellite phone
Gotta get you safe at home
Gotta get you somewhere warm
So you get me all alone" (Jimmy)
Buah, resulta que la amo.
Beth Orton
3/5
"You said you stood for every known abuse
That was ever
Promised
To anyone like you
Don't you wish you knew better by now
When you're old enough not to?" (Stolen car)
"I can feel my heart
Especially now it's on the roof of my mouth" (Couldn't cause me harm)
El disco se me hizo un poco monotemático, y es una pena porque empieza súper arriba pero no vuelve a alcanzar ese nivel. Muy buena voz, todo muy late 90s.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
"Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now (catch a fire)" (Slave driver)
"Mind is confused with confusion" (Midnight ravers)
No vais a conseguir que me interese el reggae, pero buen intento.
Kanye West
4/5
"The watered down one, the one you know
Was made up centuries ago" (Dark fantasy)
"You could be the King but watch the Queen conquer" (Monster)
Siento mucho que lo mejor de este disco sea la estrofa de Nicki Minaj.
Nah, es bromis (a medias), aunque a mí Kanye no me interese lo suficiente como para separar obra de autor (o que me interese más la posibilidad de que se vaya a montar una secta), es muy bueno en lo suyo y el disco funciona muy bien.
Nina Simone
4/5
"But boy I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn baby
That's too much to ask to anyone" (That's all I ask)
"You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins" (Wild is the wind)
Reina <3
Talvin Singh
3/5
"Complain (ah)
Complain (oh)" (Traveller)
New York Dolls
3/5
"When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room
Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom" (Looking for a kiss)
Sólo quiero tener esta pinta, ¿es mucho pedir?
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
The Cure
3/5
"It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar, you would anyway" (Play for today)
"The wish never came true
And the girl
Starts to sing" (Seventeen seconds)
we! are! back!
No es mi disco preferido de The Cure, pero aún así es un disco muy redondito.
k.d. lang
3/5
"Spoil me
Spoil me with you
And soil me with the world of you
Watch over me with a mother's eyes
Judging my worth only to glorify
Watch over me" (Save me)
Una voz chulísima y un poco vibes de música de ascensor.
Ananda Shankar
3/5
Janis Joplin
5/5
"I can't take it no more baby
And furthermore, I don't intend to" (Move over)
"You said you'd try to look for the end of the road
You might find out later that the road'll end in Detroit" (Cry baby)
Ojalá molar alguna vez la mitad de lo que molaba Janis Joplin <3
Minutemen
3/5
"Let's say, I got a number
That number's fifty, thousand
That's ten percent of five hundred thousand" (Viet Nam)
"Twinkle, twinkle
Blah, blah, blah
E.T.C" (#1 Hit Song)
Fascinada con la cantidad de canciones de este disco que podría haber escrito tranquilamente Rachel Bloom.
David Bowie
4/5
"Have been the un-American? (ooh)
Just you and your idol sing falsetto (ooh)
'Bout Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor (ooh)
In case, just in case of depression? (ooh)
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you" (Young Americans)
"Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you should not be allowed
To start any fires" (Win)
No es de los discos de Bowie que más me gustan, pero sigue siendo estupendo y yo me voy a pasar pensando en la cita de "Win" el resto del día.
Bon Jovi
3/5
"The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules" (Let it rock)
Van Halen
3/5
"Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline" (Panama)
"Dig those moves, vampire
Set me loose, get it higher
Throw my rope, loop-de-loop
Nice white teeth, Betty Boop
Set it cool real heavy
I ain't fooled, gettin' ready" (Drop dead legs)

"Boy
Thanks for hesitating" (Joe the lion)
"Sons of the silent age
Listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King Dice
Sons of the silent age
Pick up in bars and cry only once
Sons of the silent age
Make love only once but dream and dream
They don't walk, they just glide in and out of life
They never die, they just go to sleep one day" (Sons of the silent age)
The Pogues
4/5
"Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse shall lie upon me" (If I Should Fall From Grace With God)
Pink Floyd
3/5
"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years,
Been over the edge for yonks,
Been working me buns off for bands
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad,
Like the most of us, very hard to explain why you're mad,
Even if you're not mad" (Speak to me)
Nirvana
4/5
"Oh no, I know a dirty word" (Smells like teen spirit)
Violent Femmes
3/5
"I take one, one, one cause you left me,
And two, two, two for my family,
And three, three, three for my heartache,
And four, four, four for my headaches,
And five, five, five for my lonely,
And six, six, six for my sorrow,
And seven, seven for no tomorrow,
And eight, eight, I forget was eight was for,
But nine, nine, nine for the lost gods,
Ten, ten, ten, ten for everything, everything, everything..." (Kiss off)
