Iggy Pop’s  Living on the Edge of the Night is an awesome song from his Brick by Brick record.
Another masterpiece in both music and lyrics: “So I take a little bad with the good / It ain’t just black and white.”
Well Iggy, we’re not saints for sure!

Another great song by Depeche Mode’s Sounds of  the Universe.
Both music and lyrics are at the D.M. top here; well worth the listening!

Great Spider-Man cartoon track version by Ramones!
Long Life to the Punk!!!

The Who’s Who are You is one of the most marvellous rock songs ever written.
No need to remember that it was used (and it’s still currently) as the CSI Las Vegas main theme.

One of my own design-sets was inspired by this great song too; take a look here: Who Are You?

Morrissey’s The Public Image is an awesome but less famous song available only in You Are The Quarry (the Extended Version one).
Ironic and sad at the same time, like most of his sons, the lyrics and music flow exceptionally tied together. A sense of peace and tranquillity pervades the whole piece as long as it goes near to the end… and when the silence arrives? Well, you can do nothing more than start thinking about what you’ve listened!
This is his own style, more than simple music, more than simple words: philosophy!

It’s well known my own predilection for Mark Knopfler’s great music.

This time I’d like to share Speedway at Nazareth (from his second solo record Sailing to Philadelphia).

It’s an intense piece of music, especially when live played, and the last minutes spread so much energy: Mark playing his own style, the fast rolling drum, moving bass line plus the Hammond that adds some additional arabesques.
A powerful stream of notes enclosed in a perfect and elegant sequence!

This is the final part of the song played live at Royal Albert Hall (30th May 2005).

One of the most intense and immortal Pink Floyd songs to me: a pure masterpiece!
Hey you, don’t help them to bury the light / Don’t give in without a fight.

Awesome Iggy Pop interpretation of the famous Les Feuilles Mortes French song; the  lyrics are by the sublime poet Jacques Prévert, the original music was composed by Joseph Kosma, but the most famous version is probably the one by Yves Montand.

I Want To Go To The Beach is a great new song by Iggy Pop released in the new PRELIMINAIRES record.

It’s a meditative and soft piece guided by a sliding guitar and the piano while the lyrics flow, opposed to the music as everyone could expect, pouring out of the peculiar Iggy’s rude style. The world as it really is!

Raw Power is the third album by American rock band The Stooges, released in 1973. Raw Power was largely ignored upon its release, and the group broke up in obscurity a few years later. However, it was embraced by a small, rabid fan-base that included many younger musicians who would go on to help create the punk rock genre in the mid- to late-1970s and experience commercial success, making Raw Power one of the most important proto-punk documents of its era.
