As the ads said at the time: "there's old wave, there's new wave, and there's David Bowie". One side avant-pop, one side ambient before the term was coined. Both brilliant. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2013]

Behind the screams (which are part of the manic atmosphere), what a kick-ass band! An electrifying, exciting set and document of its time (1964-65) that contributed to keep them relevant during Punk Year Zero (1977). [First added to this chart: 09/01/2016]

George Orwell's "Animal farm" inspired Roger Waters to write a whole album about humanity divided in three archetypes: dogs, pigs and sheep. The music is more than good enough to make the misanthropy very easy to accept. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2013]

Demanding but well worth repeated listening. This musician is clearly not running for office. Or the pop charts. [First added to this chart: 11/15/2022]

A "new wavy"/ punk aesthetical approach to classic rock musicality, or is it the other way around? Hugely influential anyway. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2013]
