Rage Against The Machine -Rage Against The Machine
Powerful, abrasive, angry. A bomb... more
Nick Drake -Five Leaves Left
Poetry and melancholy. Excellent debut album, only inferior to Pink Moon in my opinion, "Fruit Tree" is my absolute favorite of the bunch. more
Frank Zappa -Hot Rats
Little to say about this timeless masterpiece. Six tracks, each more beautiful than the last, that are relatively easy to listen to compared to his other excellent works as well. Chapeau. more
Queen
A band that back in the days of A kind of Magic played in front of 250,000 paying fans every night should be left alone in its victorious Olympus. Don't forget that these gentlemen have sold the most records in all of music history in England alone, surpassing even the founding fathers of Rock, The Beatles. Ok, we understand each other. more
Helmet -Betty
June 1994: the sweltering summer sees the birth of Helmet's third album; a bucolic cover that immediately showcases Page Hamilton's intent to somewhat distance himself from the musical violence of the previous two works. Adding strength to this is the arrival of new guitarist Rob Echeverria, replacing Peter Mengede; however, there are still disruptive songs like "I Know" and "Milquetoast" with that "bone-crushing" sound so familiar to us...COMPRESSED... more
Lucio Battisti -Anima Latina
I have a mixed relationship with Battisti: I appreciate some things, others less. I have never been able to find an album of his that satisfies me in its entirety. I see him as too constrained by the song form (even in the more "experimental" and prog tracks) and never free to fully express himself as a musician and composer during his time with Mogol. "Anima Latina" is the exception. A masterpiece. more
DESCENDENTS
Punk as we love it more
Uochi Toki
Fuck, fantastically annoying! more
Le luci della centrale elettrica
"our imaginary helicopters like this fucking glowing cigarette dispenser" more
Tre allegri ragazzi morti
I love them, a little... more
Necrony
Death metal and grindcore fused together at the highest levels. more
Uri Caine
His fingers embody the irony of Satie, a sprinkle of Monk, and the profound humility of a great contemporary artist. more
Bon Jovi
How could I forget that time when on the radio you could always catch one choice between 'Always' and 'La mia storia tra le dita' by Grignani... a time I'll never forget, especially because it was the only time I thought, "Wow, maybe Grignani is actually better..." more
Quentin Tarantino
Great action movies, with genuine declarations of love for certain cinema and a lot of fun in turning classic patterns on their head. Sometimes excessive, but it deserves a five. more
Dead or Alive -Youthquake
Before Pete Burns became a cross between Mickey Rourke and Moira Orfei, he made waves with this album - driven, indeed, by the ever-famous hit 'You Spin Me Round', but still enjoyable despite being somewhat repetitive in its formula of trashy blasts and ultra-plastic consumer electronics. For strong stomachs. more
Quicksilver Messenger Service -Happy Trails
Acid Blues-Rock with a side of Western more
Can -Tago Mago
To be a double LP it flows like a love. more
The Who
Much less known and celebrated than other equally important rock bands (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple), The Who remain one of the grandest formations in the history of rock. Led by the genius of the great Pete Townshend, they have produced a series of masterpieces that, in terms of lyrics and music, should be considered the paradigm of Rock, both among studio albums and among the phenomenal live performances. And I'm not just talking about the C.S.I. theme songs. more
Fabrizio De André
A piece of history in music and culture. It’s important to highlight the influence of French songs (Brel and Brassens) and American ones (Dylan and Cohen). The greatest Italian singer-songwriter, in the classic sense of the term. more
