AC/DC
The Rock-equivalent of Giorgio Mastrota. It's been a lifetime of selling the same pots and the same mattresses. more
Liquido
With a name like that, they could only vanish. And that’s exactly what happened. more
The Verve -Urban Hymns
Apart from the beginning with the ringtone of the Nokia 6303, it wasn't even a bad album... nice songs... 'Sonnet', 'Lucky Man', 'The Drugs Don't Work'... although in my opinion it has absolutely nothing to do with what the (real) Verve were. more
Tame Impala
One of the most beautiful realities of the second decade of the 2000s, as well as an excellent psychedelic indie rock band. Well done. more
Galliano
He took Moggio's place. more
Mazza

Sausage -Riddles Are Abound Tonight
We are in 1994, twenty years have already passed: Les Claypool gives free rein to his musical nature, calling Todd Hutt on guitar and Jay Lane on drums. This is how the trio that represented the birth of Primus, about a decade earlier, is reformed; calling this record masterful is, for me, far too easy. And it’s Les's fluid bass and Todd's frantic guitar that open "Prelude to Fear," kicking off an album complicated in its skewed progression, but crazy and hypnotic... more
Marc Almond
I have always associated Marc with compositional elegance, driven by a constant musical quest that seeks no end. A unique and immense artist...Madame de la Luna... more
Verdena
The best Italian rock band of recent years, those who haven't understood it yet might as well stay in their healthy and old ignorance. more
Dire Straits
I was 16 years old but I didn't listen to good music. A friend of mine, a hi-fi enthusiast, bought the CD of Brothers in Arms and made me listen to it at his place just to show me how good his new stereo sounded. I had an epiphany, and I forever gave up on the chart-topping pop songs. I listened to Dire Straits for maybe a year, then came Queen, Deep Purple, and Pink Floyd, and then gradually all the others. Dire Straits were my first love and, in any case, a fantastic band, no doubt about it. more
Leonardo Pieraccioni
as a director he is nothing, as a person I wouldn’t want to know him more
Yes
The essence of progressive rock. The period from 1969 to 1980 is enough to guarantee them a lifelong 5 (I haven't listened to the other albums yet). Hats off! more
Guns N' Roses
Certainly not innovative, but they wrote some great Hard Rock tracks. A plus for the sentimental memories (they were my musical love in high school before I discovered Genesis, Area, Pino Daniele in the '80s, Jaco Pastorius, and thus transitioned into other musical worlds). Perhaps they would have been better off officially disbanding after the "Use Your Illusions"... more
Dire Straits -Love Over Gold
Just Telegraph Road is worth the whole LP... more
Dire Straits -Making Movies
what to say.... Dire Straits more
Gammacide
Running late for the review… but I still wanted to say something about these incredibly ignorant Texans. Hats off to guitarists Shelby/Perry, but a drummer like Milford is not something you come across every day. more
Demolition Hammer
Masters, second only to Slayer and very few others. more
Leonardo Pieraccioni
Because with that aspirated C and that cheap sense of humor, the Tuscans have devastated this country (cit.) more
Eric Clapton
I never loved him, and that's probably why I give him 4 stars instead of 5 (however, I adore his acoustic version of Layla). I've always preferred Mark Knopfler and JJ Cale over him. more
