I have to confess that I don't know that much about Iranian music, but when I first heard this piece sung by Shahram Nazeri many years ago, it immediately captivated me: it is so unbelievably beautiful, dignified and sublime.

A journalist once wrote that Hunters & Collectors’ "great achievement was to lay bare human emotions in the intensely ritualistic milieu of the pub-rock gig". And ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’ has probably become Australia's unofficial national anthem by now.

To be honest, I was never a big fan of the Boomtown Rats because they seemed somehow fake and artificial to me. Nevertheless, they did occasionally release some really great songs, such as ‘Diamond Smiles’.

Kim Gordon described the music of The Raincoats perfectly: „They seemed like ordinary people playing extraordinary music. They had enough confidence to be vulnerable and to be themselves without having to take on the mantle of male rock/punk rock aggression…“

Chris & Cosey were once part of the pioneering industrial band Throbbing Gristle. After the band split up, they continued as a duo whose style is characterised by a mixture of musique concrète and electronic music. -and it sounds just great!

I will never understand why this fantastic song by Greta van Fleet is not mentioned in the same breath as ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘Child in Time’ or ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, because in my opinion it belongs in exactly that list.

The sheer beauty of this Radiohead song moves me to tears every time, no matter how many times I've listened to it. ‘Let Down’ is simply musical and emotional perfection in 4 minutes and 59 seconds.

Subway Sect were one of the earliest British punk bands and a wonderful example of how musically diverse the early punk scene was, because Subway Sect didn't sound anything like pogo pits or beer can binges: basically, they anticipated indie pop

Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, passed away on 7 February 2026 at the age of 47. Although the band did not leave a lasting impression on me, I always thought that ‘Here Without You’ is a truly wonderful and touching song.

Alongside ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’, this is certainly Pink Floyd's most exciting album: David Gilmour had replaced Syd Barrett, making this an album of transition – or as Nick Mason put it: "It's a cross-fade rather than a cut."

Mike Score’s strange and therefore striking hairstyle (2 band members were actually hairdressers) often distracted from the fact that A Flock of Seagulls actually wrote great songs, such as their 1983 hit ‘Wishing’.

The fascinating thing about the Cowboy Junkies from Toronto is the fact that they play so quietly and yet convey so much emotion and intensity, which is mainly attributable to Margo Timmins' velvety warm voice.

L7 could have been as big as Nirvana, but unfortunately, all-female bands are denied such popularity in this still male dominated rock “n” roll business. In any case, ‘Shove’ is definitely on a par with ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’...

The music of Michelle Gurevich, formerly known as Chinawoman and born in Toronto in 1980, is often compared to that of Nico and Leonard Cohen, while being clearly rooted in slowcore and lo-fi pop.

Their first 3 singles released n 1979 and 1980 instantly became punk classics, and even though the Dead Kennedys couldn't maintain the high standard of these singles throughout their albums, they still contained some stupendous songs, too.

Our new song ‘The Last Goodbye’ is about a break-up – but this time in a completely different way than ‘The Farewell’ from our ‘A Legacy of Love’ album. This time, the protagonist doesn't just let things happen, but decides to take action and leave.

What could be said about Bowie that hasn't already been said a thousand times? He was a one of a kind, the likes of whom have never been seen since, and even if there were a few missteps in musical career, he still created so many milestones.

There are 3 things that cannot be combined: intelligence, decency & Trump support: You can be intelligent & a Trump supporter, but then you are not decent. You can be decent & a Trump supporter, but then you are not intelligent. And if you are decent and intelligent, you are not a Trump supporter.

The Pixies were always something of a mixed bag: brilliant at first, but tending to iterativeness and blatant self-importance over time. Nevertheless, they created some great songs, such as this one:

As a musician, I learned one thing above all else from Sly & Robbie: the art of omission. Groove isn't created by the notes you play, but by the notes you leave out. Sly Dunbar died on 26 January 2026 at the age of 73, but his beat lives on.
