What do you love about music?

To begin with?

Everything. Putting on a great show is the most important thing you can do. One great rock show can change the world. Welcome to sound opinions from Chicago Public Radio and American Public Media.

I'm Jim De Regottis, pop music critic at the Chicago Sun Times.

And I'm Greg Cox.

I write about Rock and Roll for the Chicago Tribune.

Today in the world's only Rock and Roll talk show,

the Rock Doctors are going to take another appointment

with a needy music listener. Plus, Greg and I will review new albums from Santo Gold and Elvis Costello.

You're listening to sound opinions and now it's time for some music news Yeah. Greg that is my bloody Valentine and the album Loveless been 16 years since they put it out in 1991 a year for albums that

changed rock in your generation and mine, same years never mind.

And I think it's had every bit as much of an impact. If not in terms of sales, My Bloody

Valentine has certainly influenced countless musicians who followed in their wake.

Couple of reunions to talk about this summer, the one I'm most excited about is my

bloody Valentine is back with the four original members. They're going to play

five stops in America, New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago,

and I'm really stoked about it and it's not even the only reunion

I'm excited about this year. The Fealies, a name I've dropped perhaps second only

to Brian Eno on this show, is another hugely influential New York band. I think you can hear lots of

echoes in them and everybody from Weezer to the strokes. They're regrouping after like 15

years apart. They're going to play a giant concert in New York on Battery Park for free with

Sonic Youth on July 4 and maybe hitting the road after that, a couple of other shows in New Jersey.
