Artist : Dwight Twilley Country : USA Release : Blueprint Year : 1979 Genre : Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Twilley as a solo act, released Twilley for Arista in 1979 and Scuba
Divers for EMI America in 1982, and found success again with Jungle in
1984, when he scored his second hit with "Girls." Wild Dogs went
unnoticed on its 1986 release by CBS Associated Records. In addition,
Twilley recorded an album in 1980, Blueprint, that remains unreleased
and contributed one track to the 1992 Wayne's World soundtrack, "Why You
Want to Break My Heart." In 1993, DCC released The Great Lost Twilley
Album, which collected a fraction of the "hundreds" of unreleased songs
Twilley and Seymour recorded in the early, ill-fated days. Two newly
recorded songs appeared on the best-of collection XXI (The Right Stuff)
in 1996, and in 1999, Twilley released both another rarities collection,
Between the Cracks, Vol. 1 (Not Lame Archives), and his first new album
in 13 years, Tulsa (Copper). In 2001, Twilley released The Luck (Big
Oak), an album he had actually completed in 1994. The seasonal EP Have a
Twilley Christmas (DMI) appeared in 2004, followed by Twilley's ninth
studio album, 47 Moons, in 2005.
Artist : Ramones Country : USA Release : Rocket To Russia [Expanded & Remastered] Year : 1977 Genre : Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Next to their debut album, this is my pick of The Ramones' best work
ever. With the losses of Joey, Dee Dee, and Johnny, it's sad to think
The Ramones are a band of the past, but when you listen to works like
"Rocket To Russia," you can say "they left an enduring legacy" without
sounding contrived and melodramatic.
I love the opening songs on
Rocket to Russia because you hear such energetic merriment packed with
lyrics of the celebrated misfists: the proud declaration that "cretins
wanna hop," followed by the seemingly innocent enthusiasm over hitching a
ride to Rockaway Beach on a sunny day---without mentioning that
Rockaway Beach is actually one of the grittiest, toughest, meanest beach
towns in the country!
I love that we get a solid dose of
unmistakable Ramones' lyrics in songs like "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" and
"Teenage Lobotomy," and then receive the greatest cover of "Do You Want
To Dance" ever recorded. No revamped punk lyrics, just the most
powerful homage to oldies rock & roll you will ever hear, done in
that high-octane Ramones' spirit. This song is the prime example of punk
rock & classic rock meeting, morphing, and totally emerging into
one another. Sounds corny, hmm? True, though.
Artist : Aphrodite's Child Country : Greece Release : It's Five O'Clock [Remastered] Year : 1969 Genre : Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info: If you enjoyed 666, the final album from Aphrodite's Child,
you will be put in a big shock when you hear their previous effort,
It's Five O'Clock, which was released in 1969. This was their second
album (debut was End of the World/Rain and Tears from 1968, which
Vangelis was reported with using Mellotron, despite his dislike for
them). What you won't find is dark, gloomy prog rock here, but more like
psychedelic pop, not unlike the debut album from Genesis, From Genesis
to Revelation (released the same year).
