Rock From Brazil
Some of my favourite rock albums that hail from home |
| 1 |  | Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges
Clube da Esquina
Milton's voice is heavenly and this album is one of the best/most important albums I've heard in my life. Listen to "Nada Sera como Antes" and "Nuvem Cigana". |
| 2 | | Legiao Urbana
Que Pais E Este 1978/1987
An anthem for youth that goes beyond it's time. Listen to "Eu Sei" and "Que Pais é Esse?". Honorable mention to "Faroeste Caboclo" - the lyrics are a more than crucial part of the song. |
| 3 | | Barao Vermelho
Barao Vermelho 2
The album that established the band and exposed the country to one of it's most talented singers ever. Listen to "Pro Dia Nascer Feliz" and "Largado no Mundo". |
| 4 | | Legiao Urbana
As Quatro Estaçoes
As you can tell, I really like this band. Some great, memorable lyrics. Listen to "Eu Era um Lobisome Juvenil" and "Pais e Filhos" |
| 5 | | Lenine
Acustico MTV
A great compilation of some of his best songs, flawlessly sung live. Listen to "Hoje Eu Quero Sair So" and "O Homem dos Olhos de Raio X". |
| 6 | | Titas
A Melhor Banda de Todos os Tempos da Ultima Semana
I would put the album "Cabeça Dinossauro", but, honestly, this one sounds a little less juvenile. But check to the other one too! Listen to "A Melhor Banda de Todos os Tempos da Ultima Semana" and "Isso". |
| 7 | | Rita Lee & Tutti Frutti
Fruto Proibido
Our first lady of rock and her irresistibly cheeky songs. Listen to "Agora So Falta Voce" and "Esse Tal de Roque Enrow". |
| 8 | | Macaco Bong
This Is Role
This young instrumental rock band should be noticed more often. Listen to "Broken Chocobread" and "Copa dos Patrao". |
| 9 | | Jay Vaquer
Voce Nao Me Conhece
He's quite young, but has been releasing material for a while. VERY underappreciated. Listen to "Quando Fui Fred Astaire" and "Na Proxima Vez". |
| 10 | | Skank
Maquinarama
Probably the only album by this band that I really enjoy. It contains a lot of infectious songs. Listen to "Balada do Amor Inabalavel" and "Agua e Fogo". |
