Progrocks.gr playlists: October 2020Progrocks.gr playlists: Οκτώβριος 2020

October was a month with numerous very interesting new releases and lots of bad news regarding the coronavirus pandemic, but without a doubt the reason that this month will be forever remembered is the tragic news of the passing of the great Eddie Van Halen, an artist who managed to change the way the electric guitar is played, transmitting his unquenchable smile to all of us.

We hope our playlists will give lots of ideas for new listening experiences, of both recent and older releases. Next month we will focus on intriguing and long-awaited upcoming releases. Not all news of 2020 is bad. So let’s emphasize on the good stuff and keep the legacy of the late greats.

Ο Οκτώβριος ήταν ένας μήνας με πολλές άκρως ενδιαφέρουσες κυκλοφορίες και δυσάρεστα νέα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο σχετικά με την πανδημία του κορωνοϊού, αλλά χωρίς αμφιβολία ο λόγος που ο μήνας αυτός θα μείνει στη μνήμη μας είναι η τραγική είδηση του θανάτου του τεράστιου Eddie Van Halen, του καλλιτέχνη που κατάφερε να αλλάξει για πάντα τον τρόπο που παίζεται η ηλεκτρική κιθάρα, μεταδίδοντας το άσβηστο χαμόγελό του σε όλους μας.

Ελπίζουμε οι playlists μας να προσφέρουν πολλές ιδέες για νέες ακροάσεις, τόσο από πρόσφατες όσο και από παλαιότερες κυκλοφορίες. Τον επόμενο μήνα θα μας απασχολήσουν εξαιρετικές και πολυαναμενόμενες νέες κυκλοφορίες. Δεν είναι όλα τα νέα του 2020 δυσάρεστα. Ας τα τονίσουμε λοιπόν και ας κρατήσουμε την κληρονομιά των σπουδαίων που δεν είναι πια μαζί μας.
