Looking for something or someone to blame for encouraging you to shell out some of your hard-earned for, say, Guru Guru's sludgy blues-rock? Well, as a genre landmark and well-established gateway drug to the wondrously weird world of Krautrock, as the experimental, more or less rock-based sounds cooked in Germany in the late 602s and 702s are affectionately known, Tago Mago 's amongst the most likely suspects. Recorded over a period of months in an ancient castle in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany in 1971, Can 's second album found the band in a [...]

L.A. Woman , the crowning achievement of the pre-Skrillex era of The Doors , recently turned 40-years-old. As these things often go, the band is commemorating the occasion with a deluxe reissue featuring a slew of previously unreleased material. The two-disc set, aptly titled L.A. Woman: 40th Anniversary Edition , is highlighted by a previously unreleased song titled "She Smells So Nice".

Photo of the LA Woman album cover by G. LA Woman by The Doors While prepping yet another reissue of The Doors' amazing final album "LA Woman," for its 40th anniversary, a newly discovered studio outtake called "She Smells So Nice" was unearthed. The 40th anniversary edition of "LA Woman" is scheduled for release in January 2012. A small sample has been making the rounds on line and it sounds more like a jam session excerpt than a proper song, but hell, since us Doors die [...]

Emerson Lake and Palmer is a band that has been universally shat upon by rock critics over the years. Personally, I have never quite understood the hostility.

It's true, the ELP show really never ends.

Not your granddaddy's Tull: a colonoscopic journey through the past with Ian Anderson and company.

Released in 1971, Marvin Gaye's 11th studio album is widely seen as the shy soul singer's seminal effort. As the first album he ever produced alone, it's one of a spate of early '70s anti-war albums, and one of the very first to reach a sizable household audience. Originally a mere nine tracks of classic soul sung from the point of view of a disenfranchised Vietnam veteran, What's Going On is downbeat yet beautifully sung as one continuously flowing piece of music that forms a cyclical loop (the final track is a reprise of the first), a subtle [...]

If Queen were to make their debut now, instead of 1973 when they released their eponymous debut, it's very likely they'd be considered a novelty band, and I'm not even talking about Freddy Mercury's skin tight cat suits or Brian May's getting closer to God afro as reasons why.
