John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Milk and Honey (album review)

An Unexpected Album

Even if it released after John's death, it's a very good album, even Yoko's stuff arent bad like usually. This album shows that John was in a very creative period before he died and that he was ready to offer some great music,a new era to his career had started,what a pity.You would expect that this album would have left overs from double fantasy but no they are not,the songs are really good to be left overs, i'm sure if he was alive he would make soon a new album and a really great one.

Olivia Newton-John -Totally Hot (album review)

Coming from a totally hot period for Olivia

1978 and Olivia was at the top of the game, her popularity was at it's pick after the ''Grease'' movie and it was clearly  time for changes not only for her musical direction  but for her image style too,Olivia became more open in showing her feminine side that fits to a pop icon. Totally hot was her first effort to move more into the pop music rather just being a country singer. From the album the song that really catches your attention is '' a little more love'' which has to be my favorite song by her, her vocal changes through the song are amazing especially when she experiments with an orgasmic high pitch falsseto. The rest of the album has at least  fair songs without any low points. ''Dancing round and round'' is probably my second favorite song from the album but not for sure, most are equally good. Also is worth mentioning that Olivia appears as the writer of 2 tracks which are both on the A side ( Talk to me and borrowed time).

Barry Gibb: 13 Essential Tracks (Rolling Stone magazine response)

This list is a response to the rolling stones article here

Barry Gibb is one of the greatest songwriters in pop music compared only to Lennon/McCartney. I find the Rolling Stones list interesting even though it has many unconventional picks. Here is mine which is different.

I tried to avoid songs that Barry and Robbin shared the vocals so that's why you dont see songs like how can you mend a broken heart or alone.
