📀 The Tubes
#ArtRock #GlamRock #ComedyRock #SymphonicRock #ProgressivePop
50 years ago The Tubes from San Francisco, #USA released their self-titled debut album.
Produced by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist #AlKooper, The Tubes is widely regarded as an Art Rock milestone; some consider this album, and the band itself, as the perfect bridge between the declining Progressive Rock era of early 70s and the emerging New Wave movement of late 70s.
The album's closing track "White Punks on Dope", a parody ridiculing the rich and famous offspring of Hollywood elite, became #TheTubes signature and a cult song for punk rockers🤘
Amazing album ❤️🔥

Crack The Sky
📀 Crack The Sky
#Rock #HardRock #ProgressiveRock #PowerPop #ProgressivePop
50 years ago Crack The Sky from West Virginia, #USA released their self-titled debut album.
The album was critically acclaimed as "best debut of the year" but failed commercially due to distribution problems.
#CrackTheSky never enjoyed the success of contemporary American bands such as Kansas, Styx, Steely Dan, though they toured US opening for all of them.
They remain one of the best hidden gems of the 1970s, and this is fantastic album ❤️🔥
In this album:
#JohnPalumbo – vocals, keyboards, guitar
#RickWitkowski – guitar, percussion
#JoeMacre – bass, backing vocals
#JimGriffiths – guitar, backing vocals
#JoeyDAmico – drums, backing vocals

Le Orme
📀 Smogmagica
#Rock #RockBlues #ProgressiveRock #PopRock #ProgressivePop
50 years ago Le Orme from #Venice, #Italy released their 6th studio album.
The band moved to Los Angeles, California to record Smogmagica and the entire album, both musically and lyrically, is inspired by their American experience.
Its title refers to the polluted atmosphere they encountered in the city and the cover artwork by #PaulWhitehead (designer for Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator) is also inspired by Los Angeles.
But what makes this album unique in #LeOrme career is its guitar-driven sound, different from all other works from them: the band hired in fact wonderful guitarist Tolo Marton from #Treviso (his only appearance with Le Orme), who actively took part in the songwriting and brought in his bluesy style, even introducing elements of Country and Boogie Rock.

Matia Bazar
📀 Melanchólia
#Pop #PopRock #SophistiPop #ProgressivePop #ArtPop
40 years ago Matia Bazar from #Genoa, #Italy released their 9th studio album.
Melanchólia is their most successful album and is widely regarded as the masterpiece of the so called #ItaloPop and a blueprint for the 80s #EuroPop.
Left aside these definitions, this is one of those albums when you think you have just heard its best song and then next one is even better...and better...and better. Antonella Ruggiero was possibly the best female vocalist around at the time❤️🔥
From the opener absolute banger 👉 Ti Sento (#MatiaBazar signature) to the closing sophisti "Souvenir", simply amazing!
In this album:
#AntonellaRuggiero – vocals
#AldoStellita – bass
#CarloMarrale – guitar, backing vocals
#SergioCossu – keyboards
#GiancarloGolzi – drums
With
#JacopoJacopetti, #RudyTrevisi – sax
#SerseMay, #RobertSidoli, #PieroCairo - synthesizers, programming
