Radio City with Big Star

Big Star's second record seems at first to be a boring step back, but soon explodes slowly... revealing the most artful, melodical plants in straight, splendid rock ground. Seems strange as well as natural to know this was created 1974, not four years earlier nor four years later. From the almost mid-70's I usually enjoy glam rock more than anything, but here I don't hear and don't miss the glam at all.

Swedish Summer City of VARBERG

Outside and inside of Fortress and some more streets

Built For Speed with Stray Cats

Obviously some could make real classical Rock'n'Roll even in the early 80's. Best attempt I've heard since Rockpile. Actually Dave Edmunds has co-written "Rock This Town" while almost everything is Brian Setzer's work.

Bossanova Swap Meet with Atomic Swing

as my Summer Album 14 : 61


Atomic Swing is a swedish group I should have discovered closer during early 90's, never really realised how they play like the best bands in the world! This second record has less hits than their first, but right now every tune seems a superhit!

most Beautiful song: ENVY MOON
