Quan som canalla ens agrada molt dir que de grans voldrem ser astronautes, ves que no sigui per poder volar i no anar a escola o no rentar-nos les dents abans d'anar al llit.

I és que la nau espacial pot ser un lloc molt solitari. 01 David Bowie - "Space oddity" 02 The Byrds - "Mr Spaceman" 03 Elton John - "Rocket man" 04 The National - "Looking for astronauts" 05 Claudio Baglioni - "Gagarin" 06 Spizz Energi - "Where's Captain Kirk?" 07 Antònia Font - "Astronauta rimador" 08 REM - "Man on the moon" 09 Allo Darlin' - "Neil Armstrong" 10 Love of Lesbian - "Houston, tenemos un problema" 11 Sisa - "El cabaret galàctic" 12 Harry Nilsson - "Spaceman" 13 Spiritualized - "Ladies and gentleman, we are floating in space"

L'eclosió del rock californià a principis dels 70 va crear un seguit d'icones del rock confessional com Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt i Jackson Browne. Entre ells, de manera discreta i allunyada dels grans escenaris, un cantautor va cedir el seu talent i les seves cançons per nodrir les carreres dels seus amics. Es deia J.D. Souther, i sense ell, els Eagles no serien el que són. 01 J D Souther - "You're only lonely" 02 J D Souther - "Jesus in 3/4 time" 03 Eagles - "Best of my love" 04 Eagles - "The best of my love" 05 Jude Sill - "jesus was a cross maker" 06 Linda Ronstadt - "Faithless love" 07 J D Souther - "Your turn now" 08 The Souther-Hillman - "Trouble in paradise" 09 Linda Ronstadt - "Prisioner in disguise" 10 Eagles - "New kid in town" 11 James Taylor - "Her town too" 12 Don Henley - "The heart of the matter" 13 J D Souther - "Faithless love"

A principis dels 70, el fenomen del glam rock va omplir les llistes de vendes i les portades de les revistes especialitzades amb els looks mes andrògins del pop. El que poca gent recorda és que la immensa majoria de les cançons que va popularitzar aquest moviment eren obra de dos compositors desconeguts amb una habilitat inèdita per fer himnes trepidants. 01 Sweet - "The ballroom blitz" 02 Sweet - "Blockbuster" 03 Suzi Quatro - "Can the can" 04 Suzi Quatro - "Devil gate drive" 05 Mud - "Tiger feet" 06 Sweet - Teenage Rampage" 07 Suzi Quatro - "48 crash" 08 Smokie - "Living next door to Alice" 09 Smokie - "Pass it around" 10 Racey - "Some girls" 11 Spider - "Better be good to me" 12 Toni Basil - "Mickey" 13 Exile - "Kiss you all over" 14 Chris Norman & Suzi Quatro - "Stumblin' in"
