The Beach Boys -The Smile Sessions
It could have become more important and iconic than Sgt. Pepper's.
Then they learned nothing from the SMiLE experience and did it again with Adult/Child, only that after Adult/Child came out that shit M.I.U.

Frank Zappa -Joe Garae
Ask Mary from Canooga Park— you’ll find her on the bus giving Warren Cuccurullo a quickie. more
Luciano Ligabue
If he had only made 2 albums (pre-Euro), 2 collaborations, and a single film, by now (probably) he would have been my Italian idol, for class and underlying intelligence.
But by now the damage is regimented, gone beyond that moderate amount of earnings used as if proceeds for works of “tu chiamala volendolo” campal beneficienza. more
Queen -The Game
One of my favorite albums ever more
Yes -Drama
A timeless masterpiece more
Yes -Close To The Edge
Never listened to this before? Well,.......... You'd better check this record out! I't's an absolute masterpiece. Ahead of its time more
Pino Scotto
When he vomits shit and shit in droves on the Mònnexgheìn from my codeghìn and other bands built ad cazzum ghe 'odo maaasa... and I forgive him for so much bullshit he said in the '00s and '10s on skày more
Fabrizio De André -Canzoni
A transition album, of covers, of already published tracks. From Cohen to Dylan, from Brassens to himself, with three unreleased songs. One of his least inspired works, but it’s still an album of the highest level. more
Vinicio Capossela -Canzoni a Manovella
In all likelihood, Capossela's best album, a sort of summa of his work over the past ten years (1990-2000). The first part is more accessible, while the second is more challenging, yet fascinating. more
R.A.L.P.H.
Thank you all more
Elvis Has Just Left the Building (feat. Rockapella)
Satire aimed at those who claim absurd stories about Elvis not actually dying, but also a nod to all those figures who passed away too soon... yet done with wit and solid musical foundations, Zappa left nothing to chance... more
Khaos Aura  -Thorn Bringer
Khaos Aura are a Black metal duo from Norway. So far, they have released two demos and three full-length albums. more
Fabrizio De André -Rimini
The first of the two albums written with Bubola: this is the folk period, the most American one. Side A is a string of classics (“Coda di lupo” deserves a special mention), while side B, apart from “Sally,” seems like a collection of leftovers. But, in the long run, I even prefer it to Indiano. more
Franco Battiato -Mondi Lontanissimi
A small change in the sounds (violins and brass come in), and hints of the Battiato to come, lost in distant galaxies and, indeed, "mondi lontanissimi." He self-quotes, sometimes tosses things off lightly ("Temporary Road"), but it's an album that's worth a lot, a whole lot. more
C.S.I. -Tabula rasa elettrificata
A trip to Asia is the pretext for a kind of concept album about getting lost and finding oneself. All things considered, of the whole CCCP-CSI package, it’s perhaps their least original effort, even though tracks like "Unità di produzione", "Brace", "Vicini" and "M'importa 'nasega" are real gems. more
Podridão -Coffin of the Corrupted Dead
Podridão are a Brazilian death metal band formed in 2016, with four full-length releases to their name. more
Rare and Precious Chain
Timeless classic more
