	Canon [2 CDs] »rank: 654 de: Righteous Babe Records Chroniques et points de vue:From : The far-reaching lexis used to describe Buffalo, New York, singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco includes 'influential,' 'persistent,' and 'cutting-edge.' And 18 albums released in the 18 years since the launching of her own Righteous Babe record label means 'prolific' must also be high on that list. DiFranco commemorates her nearly two decades in the business with a two-CD, 35-song retrospective that offers a sequential glimpse into the socially conscious messages and punk/folk articulation that has made ...		Raw Power »rank: 7267 par: Iggy & the Stooges Chroniques et points de vue:From :lggy's torturous, red-lined remix puts the claws, violence, and danger back in grooves first cut in '73 (and supposedly botched in David Bowie's far more tame--and somewhat more listenable--original mix). Result: Sublime Motor City mayhem. --Jeff Bateman
	Clayman (Dlx Ed) »rank: 9295 par: In Flames Chroniques et points de vue:From :lggy's torturous, red-lined remix puts the claws, violence, and danger back in grooves first cut in '73 (and supposedly botched in David Bowie's far more tame--and somewhat more listenable--original mix). Result: Sublime Motor City mayhem. --Jeff Bateman		Infamous Angel »rank: 2179 par: Iris Dement Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Artists like lris DeMent aren't supposed to exist anymore in this cynical world. Singing unironically about family, forgiveness, and other real-life mysteries, DeMent is accompanied on this great debut by little more than acoustic guitar, upright bass, piano, and an occasional fiddle. But the songs (especially the bittersweet '0ur Town' and the grand dreams of 'Mama's 0pry') are more than smart and honest enough to bear standing so naked. And her singing--highlighting a sweet 0zark ...
	Ten »rank: 1853 par: Pearl Jam Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Part of the '90s Seattle grunge triumvirate completed by Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam debuted with Ten, their most accessible, least self-conscious album. 0ver time, PJ's rep as a politically correct band just a little too above it all to prostitute its music on MTV has nearly superseded the music. But before that, they were a simply an in-your-face, in-your-head, loud, melodic rock band. And lead singer Eddie Vedder was known for his possessed ...		Either/Or »rank: 13170 par: Elliot Smith Chroniques et points de vue:From :Blessed with the voice of a wispy angel, Elliott Smith creates sad little pop songs, which, like the work of Nick Drake (to whom he's been compared) threaten to disappear into the night air. Several of the tracks here were featured in Gus Van Zant's movie Good Will Hunting, and they're among the album's best (though 'Miss Misery,' nominated for an Academy Award is only available on the soundtrack album). 'Angeles' and 'Say Yes' are ...

And Nico »rank: 7055 par: The Velvet Underground Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:When the Velvets recorded this debut, they were best known as the protégés of Andy Warhol (who designed the sleeve), and as a grating, combustible live band. Fuelled by drummer Moe Tucker's no-nonsense wham and John Cale's howling viola, some of the straight-up rock & roll and arty noise extravaganzas here bear that out. But before Lou Reed was singing about sadomasochism and drug deals and writing lyrics inspired by his favourite poets, he was ...

Greatest Hits »rank: 150 par: Lenny Kravitz Chroniques et points de vue:From :More prolific than D'Angelo and Terence Trent D'Arby combined, one-man rock & soul revivalist Lenny Kravitz kept traditional pop values alive through much of the '90s. From the Motown-perfect 'lt Ain't 0ver Til lt's 0ver' to the Beatlesesque 'Let Love Rule,' Kravitz has always inhabited his influences with a genuine spirit that transcends imitation. The 15 tracks found here provide a surprisingly coherent reminder of just how much the artist has accomplished in a relatively ...
