U2, since 'Sunday, bloody Sunday', passing by 'The Joshua tree' until their last hit 'Pop' they have written real jewel
of the music. I preffer 'One' from 'Actung Baby' and 'Gone' from their last album: ..you hurt yourself, you hurt your lover then you discover, what you thought was freedom, was just greed..'

Smashing Pumpkins, before they get converted in a extremely popular group, they used to write interesting things. In 'Siamese Dream', you can find a little bit of everything, 'Cherub rock', 'Today' or the deep 'Disarm':..and what I choose is my choice, what's a boy supposed to do ?, the killer in me is the killer in you I send this smile over to you..'

Duran Duran,hey what's this?. For many people they only were a marketing group, but if you go beyond you would find a lot of many good songs. Highly suggested, 'New Religion' or thr Roxy, 'The Chauffer' it's well worthwhile listening to this:..and the sun slips down bedding heavy blind, the front of your dress all shadowy lined, and the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart..'

Lou Reed, behind this hair raising cover it's hidden the LP 'Transformer', the best in the history of 'NY urban poetry' just listen to 'Perfect Day':..just a perfect day feed animals in the zoo, then later a movie too and then home..'

Crowded House, the Finn's brothers group doesn't exist, but they have left us 'eternal' songs throught all this time. Remarkables, 'Into temptation', 'Locked Out' included in the Sound Track of 'Reality bites', and of course, 'Don't dream it's over':..there's a battle ahead, many battles are lost, but you never see the end of the road while you're travelling with me..'

The Cure, they split themselves, they are back..despite this things Robert Smith and his boys, 'masters of dark' know better than anyone how to pass from one to the other edge. Full of optimism songs, 'In Between days', 'Friday I'm in love', and completely depressing songs like 'Apart':..he waits for her to understand, but she won't understand at all, she waits all night for him to call, but he won't call anymore..'

Bunbury, I admit it. I was the first who loathed the pretentiousity of this voice-conceited boy, but in his new album I have discovered a 'poet of the experience'. It's nothing to leave behind, songs like 'Alicia', 'Contracorriente' or the rough,'Nueve':..y pongo a sus pies mis venas para que mi sangre sirva de limosna, y lo que abrevien las distancias lo engrandezca mi memoria..'

Nirvana, the dissappeared Kurt Cobain (live fast, die young and leave a beautyful body) gave us this legacy. Along his life, obviously it's worth to remark hymns like, 'Smell like teen spirit', the posthumous 'All apologies', and the best version from a David Bowie's classical song that express and old human willing, 'The man who sold the world':..who knows not me, I never lost control, your face, to face, with the man who sold the world..'

The Doors, what's left to say about them ?, Morrison: Neurotic, Insane, Egocentric, maybe Unknown...everything is good for him, but the main idea of the Door's music, Jim, knew how to wake up the asleep american youth, turned after his death into a symbol. 'Break on trough (to the other side), 'The End', and of course, 'The Crystal ship':..the days are bright and filled with pain, enclose me in your gentle rain. The time you ran was too insane, we'll meet again..'

Depeche Mode, they came back from the death thanks to 'Ultra' DM have drunk from their own experience making extremely private songs like, 'Master and servant', 'Behind the wheel', or the acid 'Home' where we can undercover Martin Gore's voice. I preffer, 'Never let me down again', it shorts everything:..we're flying high, we're watching the world pass us by, never want to come down, never want to put my feet back down on the ground..'
