Roundly criticized at the time (1989), Bowie emerged from schlock to proto grunge with Tin Machine.

It got him back on track.

Two of his best from this period, two of his best ever,

“The first time I saw Michael play guitar…it literally changed my life enough for me to say, ‘this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.’” — Carlos Santana

Post-punk produced many excellent bands from the Talking Heads to Joy Division. One band that gets looked over a bit, in my opinion, is The Cult. The band from West Yorkshire takes a lot of the cues from its contemporaries, but adds in a more metallic element into their music until they eventually became a heavy metal band. And a pretty kick ass one at that. An approach that began on their second album Love. An album that was a commercial success and coming out for the band, the music on Love is nice and tight, taking a lot of the post-punk sound and lyrics while matching it perfectly with the heaviness and catchy punch of heavy metal. From the catchy big hit singles of "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain" to second look gems like "Nirvana", "Big Neon Glitter", and the title track, it's a nice little precursor for what would come with their next two albums when they would go full heavy metal with Rick Rubin as their producer for Electric and then enlisting Bob Rock to produce Sonic Temple. Ian Astbury's vocals are phenomenal and even have a bit of Glenn Danzig and Jim Morrison sound to it, Billy Duffy's riffs are catchy, varied, and memorable, Mark Brzezicki does a great job filling in on drums after the band had to dump their original drummer Nigel Preston mid recording due to his worsening addictions, and Jamie Stewart's bass work keeps the whole thing together very nicely. Highly recommended and especially if you want to check out The Cult's later work.

I really liked "she sells sanctuary." Back when I was singing in general business bands, I included it on a tape of songs before auditioning.

Went to see Steve Earle last night in Baltimore.

Really moving show. He played this one (video from a while back) - one of my favorites.

Tripped across this artist. Those looking for modern day Neil Young. Crazy the music is eerily similar. Ladyfan I'm sure you will relate. That entire album is excellent from start to finish. Enjoy.

I actually don't know anything about Moby Grape. My hazy understanding is that they were pretty heavy, like pre heavy metal heavy. Is that right?

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant especially were big fans of the band. Plant covered much of the funeral costs when Skip Spence passed and later covered Skip's Song written by Skip.

Thanks to a software program, the length, structure and contents of the movie are reconfigured each time it’s shown. It’s the only way the musician would agree to the project.
