Rock'n'Roll, German Edition: Rio Reiser

eh, seems pretty legit. the one from 74 gave me a Who “wish that i knew what I know now when i was younger” vibe, and the later live stuff was a ringer for Springsteen of that era. which is fine. if I was German, I’d have probably loved him until got to high school and got into punk and alternative rock, kind of how i felt about Springsteen and U2 (i’m 39).

I mean, I supposed that there was probably more guys like this in Germany (and every country for that mater) that didn’t have a good reason to be imported to where I’d have heard of him. I’m more surprised that there wasn’t, honestly.
