America
In the desert you can remember your name 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. more
Adele
A beautiful voice, beautiful songs, and moreover, she doesn't abuse her body for success (even though, in fact, she can't do that). Nowadays, however, a girl like that is rare. more
AC/DC
I appreciate them but I don’t listen to them, they give me a headache. more
a-ha
Classic 80s band, some famous tracks. more
32 Leaves
Honest post-grunge rock, without grand flights of fancy. But very, very skilled. more
883
Annoying, really annoying. Or at least, they would be if I listened to their songs. more
883
"We're a bunch of assholes, we are" (quote from "Rotta per casa di Dio"). more
Fausto Rossi
I correct the definition after studying it. He did good things both in the earlier period and in the later one. He was both commercial and extremely underground. 3 balls and something more. more
Garbo
Absolutely great from his debut to Manifesti. Superb subsequent independent production. Someone who hasn't sold out to TV and musical reality shows. A true nomen omen. P.S.: he’s still successful! more
Massive Attack
Celebrated and exquisite authors of a subdued nocturnal trip-hop. Alongside their peers Portishead and Tricky, they share introspective and slightly alienated atmospheres, but Massive Attack shifts everything towards an "urban" dimension, perhaps demonstrating even more color and oblique influences, as well as more pronounced hip-hop roots. "Blue Lines" and "Mezzanine" are pure masterpieces. more
Luciano Ligabue
By now, there's an unwritten rule that if you have Capt. Beefheart, Velvet Underground, and Led Zeppelin in your playlist, the presence of Ligabue among your listens detonates your total incomprehension. Anyway, a decent singer-songwriter... the first three albums are at least listenable. The third one is a bit underrated (considering, though, the crap he's churned out afterward). more
Vampire Rodents
"Lullaby Land" is really something special. more
Robbie Williams
The Elton John of the new millennium. more
Beardfish -The sane day
between '70s English prog, Zappa, and Echolyn. A masterpiece. more
The Decemberists -The Crane Wife
indie folk with remarkable prog nuances. beautiful beautiful. more
Emerson, Lake & Palmer -Tarkus
The worst progressive album I have ever listened to. The suite is redundant and pompous yet simultaneously insignificant, the second side swings between absolute abomination and mediocrity. Horrible even by the not-so-excellent standards of ELP. more
Carl Palmer
Despite himself (and I emphasize: DESPITE HIMSELF), the patriarch of entire generations of stick jugglers. And I don't even like his style, but giving less than 5 is objectively impossible. more
Sean Lennon
The biggest insider/underachiever in the history of music. Yes, something discreet, and discreet is he as a musician - but if his name were Cinciripini, we wouldn't even be talking about him. more
Pink Floyd
When I have to talk about the English Masters, I become speechless, in a state of perpetual sensory ecstasy as I think back to their records released between 1967 and 1979... Timeless... more
