Singer and songwriter Lobão , one of the biggest names in Brazilian rock, is now also known for his active presence on social media. Last Monday, the 3rd, the musician shared his views on the most important Brazilian rock albums. In the weekly series Lobão News , published on Instagram, he revealed his list of the five best albums, justifying his choices.
“I’m terrible at rankings. I like so many things, and everything has such a huge weight for me, that it’s very difficult to choose,” confessed Lobão, before venturing into the challenge of selecting the best rock albums produced in Brazil.
At the top of the list, the artist placed the iconic album Clube da Esquina as the most important not only in rock, but in all of popular music. He stated that the album even compares to the legendary Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles . “ Clube da Esquina is the best popular music album in the world, of all time. I think it's the most creative rock album. I think it even beats Sgt. Pepper's .”
In addition to the work of Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges , he also included the album Roots , by Sepultura , which not only brought Brazilian thrash metal to a global audience in the 90s, but was also fundamental to the evolution of new subgenres within metal.
Check out the complete list of albums:
Clube da Esquina – Clube da Esquina (1972)
Módulo 1000 – Não Fale com Paredes (1972)
Os Mutantes – Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País do Baurets (1972)
Rita Lee & Tutti Frutti – Fruto Proibido (1975)
Sepultura – Roots (1996)
