One of the pillars of Italian music and even beyond it, being a jazz musician. He has gone through many phases in his career, with the peak during the "trilogy 1977-1980," three masterpieces that cannot be repeated! The first 10 years of his career ('66-'76) were a mix of commercial '60s sounds and experimentation (the trilogy with Roversi); then came the singer-songwriter turn, with the aforementioned trilogy and a less sharp but still valid period until "Bugie"; followed by the pop-commercial phase, from "Cambio" to "Canzoni" which is quite good. From "Ciao" to "Angoli nel cielo" it's dispensable. more

"The Master is in the soul and will remain within the soul forever." more
Pearls like "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" and "Firth of Fifth" are part of the history of progressive rock and are undoubtedly artistic peaks. The rest of the album is far from magnificent: despite a piece like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)," catchy and musically perfect, with that hypnotic Eastern guitar, and a deep and enchanting instrumental track like "After the Ordeal," the album doesn't quite measure up to its predecessors. more
The death of Duane and Barry Oakley does not stop the band, which in 1973 releases its most famous and successful album (at least in terms of huge sales). Betts takes on the responsibility and handles all the guitar parts, interacting excellently with the young new entry Chuck Leavell, a twenty-year-old pianist destined for a rich career (still collaborates with great artists, including the Stones). Notable tracks include "Ramblin Man" and the instrumental "Jessica" (perhaps the most famous song). more
The first cigarette I smoked was while listening to this album, just released, with a friend. Today, doing the math—102,200 cigarettes later, averaging 20 a day—I listened to it in full again after 14 years and found it shining like never before, really beautiful, especially Paranoid Android, hard and melodic at the same time... (poor lungs...) more
Oh, if it weren't for the fact that during the summer the clubs vomit fools non-stop, it wouldn't be so bad. In fact, it's quite nice. There's a bit of everything even if not enough of anything. Anyway, my 3 years as a lifeguard have given me an enviable tan without even a hint of a girlfriend. You can't have it all. more
Just listen to Stairway To Heaven to judge. more
Sweet pop tribal-psychadelic. A brilliant and innovative album that will serve as a prelude to "Anima Latina." A record born from immensity, especially for that masterpiece "Questo inferno rosa." more
"Disorienters...take the fun objects!" more
It's true that the little triangle excites us. more
One word only: orgasmic!!! The three exclamation points intensify and convey the idea. more
First album branded heavy metal. Devastating! more
Fundamental to heavy metal culture. Seminal! more
Not a little complicated more
Delightful melodies exquisitely pop that would get into your head from the very first listens, to stay there; and forever... Steve McQueen: The Comeback... more
I met him up close as well. Having participated in "Cu 'mme" gives him a guaranteed passing grade. more
More Cold than Play. more
The Finleys from Across the Ocean. more
