De Andrè, Guccini, Gaber, Battisti, Jannacci, De Gregori, Bennato, Venditti, Battiato, Baglioni, Graziani, Fortis, Daniele, Finardi, Conte, Branduardi, Vecchioni, Fossati, Lolli, Dalla, Gaetano, Zero, etc., but also the more recent ones (for me, obviously) Vasco Rossi, Ligabue, Zucchero, Nannini, Carboni, Concato, Caputo, Elio e le Storie Tese, 883, Gazzè, Silvestri, Fabi, Caparezza, Capossela, etc.: as you might have guessed, my favorite music genre is that of Italian singer-songwriters, although I do not disdain other foreign artists, especially groups. After a long period spent freeloading on Debasio, the editors "kindly invited" me (read: forced me) to register. And here I am (otherwise I would have kept freeloading forever). Now that I’m here, I will try to make an effort, but I don’t promise anything. A joyful greeting to all the Debasio users, no exceptions.

Greet with joy!

    Hi Withor, I come in peace.
    To revive the glory (and the food) of your dazzling advertising column (#eadessolapubblicità, I believe it’s called, very dazzling...) why not take advantage of @[zappp]'s idea of pairing two songs with an "impossible connection"?
    I suggest a combination that, besides conveying the idea, seems very refined to me.

      Ach, the deb reverses the links ( @[G] ) in the single post.
      It was more effective the other way around. Look here:

      You are always welcome, Almo. Your proposal is very tempting but... I'm lazy. And I wouldn't want to step on @[zappp]'s toes, he doesn't deserve that. Anyway, your combination conveys the idea perfectly!

      Lazy? Don't say that to me. I'm so lazy that I married a pregnant woman...

    Mythical Withor, while re-reading your list of preferences, I noticed the absence of Falloppio. Quick question: is that intentional? Would you do me a favor and risk getting banned in the next 12 hours?

      Hi Fall. Absolutely intended, but because you are beyond the list and beyond human understanding: it would have been like diminishing you by quoting you here. And I could never have forgiven myself!
    • Falloppio

      Alright. Then you won't be banned. But you took a big risk.

    Legendary Withor, while re-reading your list of preferences, I noticed the absence of Luigi Tenco. I’ll ask again: was it intentional? You'd be doing me a disservice, but I would survive 😂😂😂

      12 jun 24
      The exact same response regarding Manfredi and Ciampi, even though I have something by Tenco on CD. He is also a great artist, for sure.

      @[Almotasim] the advertising-themed combination wouldn't be bad, I just wouldn’t want it to end up like the section with the ugly covers... A lot of work for nothing, and I had grown fond of that group...
    • Almotasim
      28 nov 24
      Ah, dear Zappp, your contribution was truly essential. Especially because it was clear that, while others were searching for ugly covers with search engines on dedicated sites, your covers were entirely your own creation, filled with lived experiences and personal insights. Maybe they'll come back... who knows...

      Let's not despair, not everything is lost (maybe). Even though yesterday (but I sincerely hope I'm wrong) I got another blow to the heart: they may have "deleted" the VDM group as well. Basically, the only two debaserian groups I was part of: how will I survive from now on?

      I had no doubt: I already knew that "deep down there's Impulse," as I mentioned to you some time ago. And I'll tell you more: I think you appreciate other names on this list too! Ciaone ka(y)ra(1)!

    I like your "singer-songwriter" list. I especially love the underrated ones like Lolli and Caputo.
     
    • withor
      25 apr 24
      Thank you. As you may have understood, singer-songwriters (especially the Italian ones) are my great passion, and not just the underrated ones.
    • Buckley
      25 apr 24
      I didn't see Ciampi and Manfredi in your list; is that an intentional oversight?
    • withor
      25 apr 24
      No, absolutely not. They are two of my other favorites (let's say they are included in the etc.), but unlike the others, I've always had difficulty finding their records. I like to listen to music on physical media (I have a pretty vast collection of CDs) rather than on the Tube: I'm vintage, what can I say?

      Thank you, too much grace. And then you are much smaller than me, who is now rightly enrolled in the VDM category: so it's all good.

      If you are vintage, what am I? Ancestral.

    Thank you for reciprocating.
    It seems to me that our music tastes are a bit different, in the sense that I listen to more international music than Italian.
    Anyway, that's fine, we're complementary... :)))

      3 may 23
      Of course, it's my duty! Thanks to you for being the first to unlove me. Yes, we’re probably a bit different when it comes to musical tastes (actually, more than probably), but long live complementarity :-D The world is beautiful because it’s diverse!!!

    Great Withor! My favorite Debaserian, thank God they forced you to sign up!!! We share some names from Italian music among our passions, but you haven't revealed to me the bands from beyond the borders that you like!
     
    • withor
      4 jan 23
      Thank you so much, Trofeo, you're very kind. But be careful about casually saying things that you might bitterly regret one day :-D. I think the editors are still pulling their hair out for forcing me to register: but it's their fault since they went looking for it, so whoever is the cause of their troubles should weep for themselves!!! Here are the bands (and also non-bands) that I enjoy outside of Italy, in no particular order: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Who, AC/DC, U2, Simple Minds, Madness, Bee Gees, Abba, R.E.M., Doors, Black Sabbath, Clash, Aerosmith, Cranberries, Ramones, Jethro Tull, Bon Jovi, Oasis, Blink-182, Green Day, Police, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Elton John, Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens, Prince, Sting, etc. (I'm sure I've forgotten someone). Additionally, I really like (even though I can't claim to be a complete expert) many prog bands, both Italian and foreign: Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Le Orme, Rovescio della Medaglia, Area (even though the latter can't definitely be defined as just prog), Napoli Centrale, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Yes, Gentle Giant, etc. (I'll probably forget someone here too). I know, I'm too mainstream. But in the end, who isn't (at least a little) mainstream?

      5 jan 23
      Wonder! Spectacular list! I'm a bit mainstream too, who isn't? Some are and they hide it, but why? Beyond these existential questions, everyone must listen to what they love and I can see in your many names that I appreciate! Great
