“Dolby’s Top 100 Rock Songs of the ’80s”
100 Sonic Youth – “Tuff Gnarl” 1987’s Sister was when Sonic Youth sort of started gradually formulating their songwriting knack. Coming right smack in the middle of the album, “Tuff Gnarl” is seen by many as the album’s classic (I know it was picked by some celeb. to grace Hits Are for Squares), flaunting a […]
“Dolby’s Top 10 Tracks Jan. – Mar. 2020”
10 Om Unit – “A Groove” They call Submerged an EP but make no mistake — it’s a full, robust electronica experience, with busy, frenetic beats, spectral textures and most importantly a stoned vibe that’s infectious and hypnotic. Right away track two “A Groove” blends quick, punchy drums with psychedelic melodies and synth frills in […]

“DD Review: Pearl Jam – Gigaton.”
Score: 2.5/10 Pearl Jam happens to be a band I generally really like, having even I think blasted out a refreshing eruption of straight-ahead raw energy on 2013’s Lightning Bolt, so I’m going to be as brief, or as SIDELONG, as it were, as I possibly can here. But unfortunately there’s no avoiding the fact […]

“Dolby’s Pre-Release Pearl Jam Song Power Rankings”
25 “Why Go” (Ten) For the longest time I was in this phase where I just couldn’t stand the production on this album: the big, Bon Jovi drums and all the separation between the instruments. Over time, though, the wild, reckless approach to songwriting hits me on a lot of these numbers and they get […]
