Gratitud - Damià Olivella

Artist: Damià Olivella
Song: Gratitud
Album: Ara
Year: 2009
Catalan folk for today. I like this one very much, also a song I've listened to on his webpage (No one else but me, from his earlier album with the same title). Reminds me of Eagle-Eye Cherry's Save Tonight with those initial chords and the "oooh ooh" chorus, also reminds me of other folk/acoustic artists, one specially but I can't recall who right now, shame on me!

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Artist: Black Sabbath
Song: Black Sabbath
Album: Black Sabbath
Year: 1970
Y volvemos después de tanto tiempo con Black Sabbath, cuya canción homónima definió el heavy metal como un nuevo estilo. Y todo a partir de estas 3 notas, pesadas, que le daban a la canción una atmósfera diferente a todo lo conocido hasta el momento. Todo viene por Tony Iommy, su guitarrista, que se cortó los dedos trabajando en una fábrica. Por este motivo, todo el grupo bajó la afinación de sus instrumentos, y el resultado fue esto. Para todos aquellos que duden al respecto de si Black Sabbath es el precursor (algunos opinan que el heavy metal apareció por Steppenwolf y su "Born to be wild", al mencionar ese "heavy metal thunder"), cualquier grupo veterano heavy tendrá a Black Sabbath dentro de sus influencias. Mucho ha llovido desde sus tiempos, si bien Black Sabbath cambió mucho con el tiempo, es de justicia alabarlos como los creadores de este estilo musical que va tan bien para la circulación en la cabeza (por el headbanging a destajo, evidentemente).
