Elisa
A dignified sufficiency, but no more. more
Greymachine
Music project by Justin Broadrick and Aaron Turner; "Disconnected" is the only album recorded in 2009. Eight long tracks that move between noise, doom, industrial, drone, and sludge with a heaviness that impresses. I've never listened to music so "unlistenable"... Mastodontic... more
30 Seconds to Mars
Alright, I've listened to something, damn that's crap. more
Laura Pausini
I accidentally stumbled upon an ad for I don't know what about her, featuring a bunch of people (all of them female, well) happily singing her songs. As Mafalda said in a comic strip, regarding humanity: "We should start over and see if it goes better." more
Laura Pausini
Singer for women-only mass(ies). Mediocre since '93. more
Paolo Meneguzzi
Refresh my memory... more
Zucchero
The Arsenio Lupin of Italian music. more
Michele Zarrillo
In my total binge of past Progressive, I also stumbled upon his Semiramis, quite cute although terribly immature (him at fifteen on the electric guitar). Then just crap, but that’s obvious. more
Amon Düül II
This Amon Düül II - Sandoz In The Rain (Improvisation) would be enough for a 5 for eternity, then there's all the rest... Forget about flower children, these are the hippies who came from Hell.

Paolo Meneguzzi
More false than true. more
Michele Zarrillo
Good enough. However, he is not among the greatest. more
Le Orme
Among the best Italian prog groups, but not my favorites. Italian Genesis? more
Zucchero
...in contrast to many others who try to put on a star persona between Europe and the USA, he has collaborated with people like Clapton, Sting, BB King, Quincy Jones, Bono, J. Lee Hooker, Brian May, Don Was, Brian Wilson, Randy Jackson, Pavarotti,...and he’s always himself, for better or for worse, with his strengths and weaknesses, a rough character yet at the same time passionate, 100% Emiliano and Italian...his latest studio album is a testament to his maturity, just like fine wine gets better and deeper...Unique. more
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
"Celine Dion canta canzoni d'amore mentre le nostre città bruciano." more
Liquid Scarlet -Liquid Scarlet
Debut album for these good grandchildren of Anekdoten. The blasts of mellotron are definitely there, the Fripp-like guitar too, a nod to Nursery Cryme as well, and the melodic openings are not lacking. A really beautiful album. Unfortunately, the second one will be inferior, and then they disappeared. more
The Les Claypool Frog Brigade -Live Frogs, Set 1
Another live album from the Frog Brigade, led by that musical genius known as Les Claypool, and it’s another hit!!! Massive class, unquantifiable technique, the sheer enjoyment of the individual musicians during the performance: all of this earns top marks from me. There are two covers, which open and close the concert, from rather interesting bands, namely King Crimson and Pink Floyd: tracks where the "Follia Zappiana" is the predominant component in their endless listening...YES more
Roberto Vecchioni
My third favorite singer-songwriter after Battiato and Battisti. His best phase was from 75 to 84. After a less convincing period, he bounced back in 1993 with "Blumùn" to remain a Great. more
Sausage
I'm sorry, but I can't seem to come up with new definitions for yet another Les Claypool project; besides, sausages are a bit hard to digest for me, especially those from Pork (Soda)... Sorry again... more
The Killers
Pleasant to listen to, good melodies, suitable for these times more
Mina
The absolute voice; the famous duet with Lucio Battisti in April 1972 on "Teatro 10" remains one of the peaks of Italian song...DIVINE... more
