5 CDs (Actually 52!) That Rock Sugar Can’t Live Without
Following on from their rather amazing, exclusive interview (http://www.rock-zone.co.uk/2012/03/21/exclusive-rock-sugar-talk-to-rock-zone-uk/) the boys from Rock Sugar have very kindly given us their 5 CDs that they can’t live without. Now, these guys are clearly cut from the same cloth as me…if something is worth doing it’s worth overdoing, so Jess, Chuck, Ken and Alex have each given their favourite 5 (or 37 in Alex’s case – well done for getting it down to that number as I would struggle to get below 100!). If you haven’t heard these records you need to get hold of them – you’ll hear some of the influences behind Rock Sugar but more importantly you’ll hear some great music.
5 CD’s I Can’t Live Without By Dizzi Devereux
There is a real emotional aspect to music that can bring us to different places and times in our lives. For me some music/artist and albums defines me as a player and a fan. I never take for granted the role music plays in my life and really all of our lives. If I could pick one i would pick them all, but here are the 5 cd’s I cant live without.
Nirvana- In utero
This album, for me, was Nirvana’s greatest album. Kurt being a lefty was the reason I started playing guitar back in 89′… Sure i was knocked off my ass when i heard the first four chords of ‘Smells like teen Spirit’, but it was too polished… I loved Bleach I loved Incesticide, loved all of it…but In utero IS Nirvana!
Queens of the Stone age – Era Vulgaris
Josh Homme and the boys can do no wrong in my book…and again I LOVE all of their albums so much, but I really like QOTSA’s dynamics on this album from Sick Sick Sick to Suture up your Future! Brilliant album that in my opinion shows that everything hasn’t been done yet but QOTSA has definitely found the formula! Unrivaled in their genre!
