Edoardo Bennato -Non Farti Cadere Le Braccia
A hard-won debut album by the Neapolitan singer-songwriter (with a remarkable contribution from his brother Eugenio): in some tracks flashes of genius already stand out ("Detto tra noi"; "Rinnegato"), while in others he appears more subdued (with a huge leap in quality already in the following record). more
Cinderella -Still Climbing
Hidden gem from the '90s (with faint traces of late '80s attitude) by an iconic band of the most melodic Blues Metal. To be listened to on rainy days while sipping some good carob liqueur. more
Lucio Battisti -La Batteria, Il Contrabbasso, Eccetera
It's the return to the charts after the (beautiful) quirks of "Anima latina." "Ancora tu" is his best-selling single, there’s a strong dance vibe, and it’s all about bass, drums, and guitars—what a delight. more
Edoardo Bennato -La Torre di Babele
An essential album, the dress rehearsal for future masterpieces starting with the following "Burattino senza fili" (and in "Franz è il mio nome" he cites, not by chance, Pinocchio). Scorching, sharp-edged rock and his most beautiful song: "Venderò". canzone: more
Enzo Jannacci -Foto ricordo
A great record, one of the best of the decade, even if perhaps not a masterpiece as some claim ("La poiana" and the two covers of Conte are rather weak), but the entire side A is practically perfect ("Mario"; "Io e te"; "Natalia"). more
Jumbo

Crazy Town
Destroyed by a two-bit single more
Popol Vuh -Affenstunde
The birth of ambient music. more
Mike Francis
No definition for Costui? He was strong both in the '80s and in the '90s. Unfortunately, we lost him early in 2009. more
Come monete che tu puoi spendere nei giorni che vuoi
The first 20 seconds of this song, played on a loop, could easily be part of the soundtrack for the Gran Turismo videogame on PS1. more
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.
4.5/5 more
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
