Acerca de esta escucha
It seems like the days of flipping through vast vinyl, cassette, or CD collections is a thing of the past. And while there's no denying the convenience of having all your favorite albums on a mobile device, it's becoming more common for recordings to get lost in the shuffle and/or completely forgotten about.
Author/journalist Greg Prato is willing to provide some assistance, with his 12th book overall, Overlooked/Underappreciated: 354 Recordings That Demand Your Attention. You will find countless albums that you may have completely forgotten about or perhaps have never even heard of before. Either way, all 354 of these titles get the "Prato Stamp of Approval". Starting with AC/DC's "Flick of the Switch" and wrapping up with Zombi's "Surface to Air", countless styles of music are represented in between - rock 'n' roll, hard rock, heavy metal, alternative, new wave, punk, hardcore, grunge, jazz, fusion, psychedelic, prog, folk, blues, funk, soul, rap, spoken word, power pop, big band, glam, experimental, instrumental, soundtracks...the list goes on and on. But the selections stay strong!

The Pixies in Boston. Nirvana in Seattle. The Red Hot Chili Peppers in Los Angeles. While these alt-rock bands are world-renowned today, at the dawn of the '90s they were still largely defined by local music scenes. Before the mediation of MTV, VH1, or Apple Music, fans connected directly to alt-rock groups through word of mouth or via small local radio stations.

The blues grew out of the plantations and prisons, the swampy marshes and fertile cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta. With original research and keen insights, Ted Gioia - the author of a landmark study of West Coast jazz and the critically acclaimed The History of Jazz - brings to life the stirring music of the Delta, evoking the legendary figures who shaped its sound and ethos: Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.

Kelefa Sanneh, one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture, has made a deep study of how popular music unites and divides us, charting the way genres become communities. In Major Labels, Sanneh distills a career’s worth of knowledge about music and musicians into a brilliant and omnivorous reckoning with popular music - as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities.

Acquired wisdom has always put Sgt. Pepper at the head of the class, but it was Revolver that truly signaled The Beatles' sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before Rubber Soul but came to fruition on Revolver, which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce, far more than any rock record before it.

In 1999, as the end of an old century loomed, five musicians entered a recording studio in Paris without a deadline. Their band was widely recognized as the best and most forward-thinking in rock, a rarefied status granting them the time, money, and space to make a masterpiece. But Radiohead didn't want to make another rock record. Instead, they set out to create the future.

The history of heavy metal brings us extraordinary stories of larger-than-life characters living to excess, from the household names of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Iron Maiden and Metallica to the brutal notoriety of the underground Norwegian black metal scene and the New Wave of British heavy metal. It is the story of a worldwide network of rabid fans escaping everyday mundanity through music, of cutthroat corporate arseholes ripping off those fans and the bands they worship to line their pockets.

Music you may have overlooked
I don't know about, but I am always open to finding new music or being reminded of songs I may have overlooked. Author Greg Prato has crafted a list of gems that definitely deserve your consideration. He presents an eclectic mix of obscure tracks with hit songs. Prato shares the influences for the tracks, and which songs inspired other tunes.
I appreciate how Prato breaks down each recording into categories, such as similarities to other works, how the author discovered each album and suggestions for follow ups. He also offers scrutiny and picks the best tracks from each record. The book is not limited by any musical genres, but offers masterpieces from the pop, rock, metal, funk, new wave, hip hop, and grunge worlds.
The author analyzes offerings from such acts as Alice Cooper, the Beach Boys, The Cars, David Bowie, Prince, and Jimi Hendrix. He also suggests works from works of lesser-known acts, such as Bad Brains, the Buzzcocks, Missing Persons, and The Bongos. I found their track "Mambo Sun" a few years ago and enjoyed hearing the history of the song.
For someone that grew up visiting record stores, and buying albums from record clubs, this is a welcomed work. Listening to the audiobook, brought me back to the days of visiting the mall and shopping at the local Harmony House to navigate through the new releases or investigate which records were on sale or on the clearance racks.
