  • dCS Puccini, Part 11

    20 years ago, we knew that heavy metal was starting to get over-saturated, when the likes of Extreme came out. But if you were to listen more carefully, you'd hear that guitarist Nuno Bettencourt played with skill. Thi…

    25 years ago, Scandal's "The Warrior" cracked the Top 40. The Golden State Warriors also cracked the NBA's Top 40. Alas, there were only 23 teams. After "The Warrior," Scandal broke up. After David Lee Roth left/was …

    Ten years ago, Ace Of Base came out with "Cruel Summer." I don't think they've been heard from since. But anyway, many listeners complained that Ace Of Base didn't add anything to this classic. OTOH, they didn't scre…

    In late summer 1983, The Kinks' "Come Dancing" was so powerful, it made us look back. In fact, as we were only 11 or 12 years old, it made us look back to a time before we were born. It is now 2008, and "Come Dancing"…

    By the early 80s, Kiss were has-beens, a relic of the 70s. In Fall 1983, when I returned to school, Kiss made a small splash by appearing without their makeup. That move backfired. Kiss unmasked looked like any other…
