Ryan Adams-"Gold" (2001)

"Gold" is Ryan Adams' second album, a work more patriotic and more American than his debut, where the influences of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen are even more evident.
If a year before Ryan Adams had set the bar very high with his superb "Heartbreaker", with this "Gold" he would hit again with a very bright and energetic album, very close to the true canons of American classic rock.
An elegant album that shows us brilliant compositions such as "New York, New York", which unintentionally became a tribute to the city, when the promotional video for the song was recorded in front of the twin towers four days before the fateful 11 ​​of September.
An album with deep sound where acoustic guitars stand out and some careful lyrics as in "La Cienaga Just Smiled" or in "When The Stars Go Blue", or in the rockers "Firecraker", "Gonna Make You Love Me" or "Tina Toledos Street Walkin´Blues" or the beautiful blues "The Rescue Blues" that gained a lot of relevance when it was included in the movie "Proof of Life".

The Moody Blues-"Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" (1971)

For many this is the masterpiece of The Moody Blues, although weighed down in part by the immense success of their previous "Days of future Passed" and their huge single "Nights In White Satin".
However, this is one of his most versatile, varied and superbly performed works, where the single and rocker "The Story In Your Eyes" would catapult him to the top spot on the UK charts and a staggering second spot on the US Billboard.
Here stands out the mellotron of Mike Pinder, which includes the Moog synthesizers, Hayward's guitar does the rest to make a work of art in which there are sublime and mystical moments such as "My Song" or "Emily's Song", with that bucolic sound very characteristic of this huge and essential progressive rock band.
