In 1979 ‘Reproduction’ appeared on the scene and, thanks to its innovative use of synthesisers, sounded like nothing before it. This was not the pleasing synth-pop of the band's later incarnation, but rather dark & sinister synth doom.

Here is Antichrisis's new song, ‘Why?’, which is dedicated to the women of Afghanistan who suffer from the excesses and brutality of a misogynistic and religiously veiled patriarchy which deprives them of all their human rights.

Primal Scream have never been better than on ‘Velocity Girl’: pure pop perfection in under 90 seconds – and proof that there’s no need to artificially inflate the essence of a song. Good job, Bobby…

This song moves me to tears every time I hear it: anyone who isn't touched by the wonderful lyrics combined with the deeply melancholic melody and Martha Wainwright's emotional vocals must have a heart of stone. Damn, where's the tissue...

Roky Erickson, former singer and guitarist of the 13th Floor Elevators, struggled with severe mental health issues for much of his life, and trying to combat the voices in his head with LSD and heroin was definitely not a good idea.

Shane McGowan was a tragic figure: undoubtedly one of the most talented and outstanding songwriters of his generation, he became addicted to alcohol and ruined his health, leaving him mentally broken and dying in 2023 at the age of 65.

“Nowhere Girl” by B-Movie should have been a synthpop smash hit in the 1980s and at least as successful as “Fade To Grey” or “Are Friends Electric.” Alas it wasn't, but nevertheless it is still just as fascinating today as it was back then.

This fantastic punk album from 1981 is special because it does not contain those classic fast paced punk songs, but spreads a dark and brooding atmosphere. Moreover, the lyrics paint an accurate picture of Thatcher’s England at that time.

This song covers you like a warm blanket on a cold November night, even though its lyrics deal with isolation, distraction and being lost, with a yearning melody that indicates the protagonist's longing for bonding and being reconnected.

Johnny Kidd, one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll performers England has ever produced, with a riff for the ages that many aspiring young guitarists still struggle with until today and which has been immortalised in countless cover versions.

'Orgasmatron' makes Motörhead sound more industrial than ever: the irresistible groove of this song drills mercilessly into your brain, and Lemmy’s bass riff adds the perfect finishing touch. A truly great song with a damn good set of lyrics.

I can't praise this man enough: whenever I'm in a bad mood, all I have to do is put on any album by Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, and the bad mood is blown away. But he could also be sentimental and touching, as "Neon Sign" proves.

Some bands produce outstanding singles but not outstanding albums—but when the singles are as damn good and magnificent as those by The Jam, this fact is very easy to get over, because a greatest hits album by The Jam could easily fill three CDs.

What a strange song by this French band: though the vocals sound weird and off-key, they fit perfectly with the song's peculiar and enigmatic atmosphere. In this sense, Trisomie 21 are obviously the musical antithesis of Daft Punk.

Rarely has an album title been more apt than that of Siouxie & The Banshees' debut album: what this band presented here was indeed like a harrowing primal scream; something unprecedented and radically new that shook us to the core.

The Heartbreakers were, so to speak, the supergroup of US punk, consisting of Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Richard Hell, and Walter Lure. And although they only released one studio album, they became a major influence on many other bands.

The strange phenomenon of some German Krautrock bands, which were influenced by Jaki Liebezeit's motorik drum style, was that they often went unnoticed in Germany, while exerting an enormous influence on the music scenes in English-speaking countries.

The song “What Else Is There” by Norwegian electronica duo Röyksopp captivates the listener above all with the strange but nonetheless fascinating vocals of Swedish guest vocalist Karin Dreijer and its outstanding musical dreamscape.

The Buzzcocks were one of those early punk bands that managed to combine the power, speed, and energy of punk with wonderful, catchy pop melodies. In this song, however, pure and raw power dominates, and the drum groove is simply amazing!

The Scottish band Stiltskin had a smash hit with “Inside,” but then turned out to be a classic one-hit wonder and broke up. However, their 1994 debut album “My Mind's Eye” contains some really great songs besides “Inside,” such as “An Illusion".

Michel Polnareff could be described as the French David Bowie—and his opening riff for this song is every bit as good as that of “Ziggy Stardust". Even if Polnareff never achieved the status of Bowie, he still wrote some damn great songs.

Somehow, this album unintentionally became the soundtrack to a breakup—and the sometimes melancholic mood of those songs was a perfect fit. Even today, this album still takes me back to that time when I was lost between hope and despair.

Love Spit Love: A strange name chosen by this band led by Richard Butler (of Psychedelic Furs), which released just two albums between 1994 and 1997 before breaking up. But their outstanding song “Am I Wrong?” will always be remembered.
