My 3 Most Listened Albums Of 2010 Part 1

For the end of February, I decided to do something different. On Monday you will find on this post an album that I have listened too many times during 2010. The reason for doing this is that some artists should receive people attention's on time - not after years, especially when they have released excellent albums. So, be patient and on Monday the mystery will be revealed... ;-)

R.I.P. Gary

Earlier this month, one of the greatest rock/blues guitarist of all time passed away. It was a very sad surprise to inform that one of my favorite guitarists will no longer play his music. So, why we should remember Gary? Because apart from his technique, his playing had "tons of passion". He played almost everything in his career: progressive/psychedelic rock (Skid Row, Colosseum II), hard rock (Thin Lizzy, solo), pop (solo) and of course his biggest love: blues (BBM, solo), with quite success. Furthermore, something that is not mention very often is his vocal abilities, which were quite remarkable. If one word could describe his music, this would be "feeling".

As a tribute, I decided to upload Corridors Of Power, because it combines two of my favorites sides of Gary, the "hard" one and the "blue" one.

Goodbye Gary.... Empty rooms are everywhere...
