The Who -A Quick One
A quickie. A transitional album, interesting but it doesn't amaze me. more
The Clash -London Calling
What an earthquake! The English quartet ridicules the Sex Pistols by offering a punk that isn’t really punk, given the immense influx of genres like rock, reggae, and ska. Title Track, Guns Of Brixton, The Card Cheat are my favorites, but each of the eighteen tracks is a spectacle. Chapeau. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -From Her To Eternity
It's a challenging album, the first LP of the Australian singer-songwriter with the Seeds. The songs are anguished, and Cave's voice screams verses that are sometimes desperate, sometimes resigned, accompanied by music that moves forward dark and measured. Perhaps the best of the pathos can be found in the title track and in the long "A Box For Black Paul." more

A genius. more
Emmanuela Marrone
But is she really called Emmanuela with 2 Ms!? more
Emmanuela Marrone
One star and a quarter just for Gaber's cover and because it's less pretentious. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -Tender Prey
We are faced with another amazing album, with particularly inspired texts. What was said about "The Good Son" holds true here; my favorite tracks are "The Mercy Seat," "Mercy," and "Slowly Goes The Night," but nothing goes to waste here either. Hero. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -The Good Son
In the discography of many of the greatest artists in history, this album could have been the pinnacle of it all, but in the case of Cave, the matter becomes incredibly thorny. In any case, the quality of melodies, lyrics, interpretation, and apocalyptic tension is at stratospheric levels, and the songs are all extraordinary. Personal favorites include the title track, Ship Song, and Lament. more
Inspiral Carpets -Life
Well. An album that is hard to forget. The "sixties" organs of Clint Boon and beautiful post-punk rhythms - dry, tight, reminiscent of Julian Cope and the Teardrop Explodes up close. But here we were in Manchester (Oldham, to be precise) and not in Liverpool. The Ma(D)chester of the early, great Stone Roses. It was 1990. more
The Doors
Unique, the magic of the "shaman" evoked by their works, The End for me a true anthem, the connection with the song then inspired me in part when I discovered the magic of Apocalypse Now, then so much more, times we didn’t experience...what a shame...Rip Ray/Jim, other giants of a musical universe that will never return. more
Mark Knopfler -The Ragpicker's Dream
It is the long and reflective "Why Aye Man" that opens with its gentle notes the third solo work, aside from the many collaborations and soundtracks, of Mark Knopfler; an album that has as its main thread the execution of acoustic textures, with the Scotsman's guitar always ready to bestow that unique, soft, and emotive touch. A subdued work that represents a journey back in time to rural America, releasing a charm with a taste of antiquity, wisdom... Bucolic... more
Sylvester Stallone
Sorrow and commiseration for the last Rambo, tenderness for the last Rocky. Even shit demands different emotional nuances. more
Freak Antoni
R.I.P. FREAK. more
Lola Ponce
5 to the sorca, 2 to the rest. more
Enrico Ruggeri
Author of some really great songs in Italian music. A bit punk, a bit rock, a bit intellectual, and on top of that, also a host and author of books. more
Ivano Fossati
I review the rating (from 5 to 4 stars) and change the definition: "Great, immense. In the end, he didn't withdraw completely, Mina cornered him!". In 40 years of a round career, he has created beautiful works, in the '70s "La mia banda suona il rock" ALBUM (not just the single song), in the '80s La Pianta del Tè, his best, up to refined albums like "Macramè" and still quite substantial ones like "Decadancing". Naturally, I can't overlook his contribution to "Anime salve" by the great Faber. However, it doesn't reach 5 stars; maybe it's a subjective opinion, but having studied him and Finardi, I prefer the latter. Both are 4 stars. I reserve 5 stars for very few chosen ones. more
The Doors
Perhaps even better than Led Zeppelin, in some ways. more
Bruce Leek

Katatonia
A career that began in 1991 and has always been pursued with consistency, seeking new stylistic horizons and emotional milestones; and they have done so through a long series of albums, showcasing their musical evolution that knows no end. more
