Rory Gallagher is here, not ... for the last time !

 

Even with a career cut short by illness and a premature death, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rory Gallagher left his mark in the blues and rock worlds. His hard-charging, intensely rhythmic playing style on his 1961 Stratocaster still casts a long shadow over rock & roll. [allmusic.com]

The day Rory Gallagher died was completely different for all of us who loved him. The Irish musician - a phenomenon that is much loved in Greece, "left" on June 14, 1995 at the age of 47. His talent was so great that he became one of the best and most authentic blues-rock musicians. He played with passion and his good character, which was coming out, created a loyal and fanatical audience.

27 years after his death, here is a collection of 27 [+ 4 alternative versions] of the songs he has covered.

Friday Rocks with AC/DC

 

This Friday we plug in the amplifiers, because I think that we all need a little noise sometimes and as AC/DC say: “Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution”

So many songs and so much energy cannot be limited to one compilation, but I chose songs, spelling "Friday Rocks" with their initial letters and added some more, with the word “rock” in the title.

With the eternal "schoolboy" Angus Young at the forefront and the voices of the late Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, AC/DC has been pursuing a music career that does not seem to stop and they supply the rock fans with a necessary source of power and energy, for almost five decades now.
