Traveling Wilburys
Supergroup between country and classic rock. Their volume 1 is a beautiful album. Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care

Raymond Chandler
He knows how to expertly balance atmosphere and character presence with action and mocking irony. Great. more
Cesare Cremonini
Leader in the food industry. Production, distribution, and catering are its strengths. more
Silvio Berlusconi
In her life, she has tried it all. Tasty, fragrant, interracial, with a toga, with souvenirs, prescribed, corrupt, Masonic, transplanted. The only thing missing is prison. more
Matteo Renzi
The mere fact that someone like him, with this somewhat peculiar face, with these somewhat peculiar expressions, with a somewhat peculiar story, a friend of friends who are also somewhat peculiar, has been imposed as prime minister, and the fact that his "opponent" is a (former) comedian (evidently Italians still want to laugh, 20 years of another well-known comedian of short stature were not enough) shows how damn messed up we are in this country. more
Fabio Volo
There are those who completely discredit him and those who bestow extravagant praises upon him. My opinion? I don't care one way or the other; I find him fundamentally harmless and non-threatening, but I would never dream of buying one of his books. At most, I might catch a glimpse of some clips from his movies on TV while I'm having dinner or when I'm caught in bouts of nighttime sleepwalking. Insignificant. more
The Beatles
It's difficult to explain what the Beatles are in four lines: everything should always be compared to the music market of 50 years ago (which was in its infancy) and the monumental impact they had on society. For better or worse, it all started with them: marketing, the myth of Beatlemania (with the screaming girls, ancestors of today's bimbeminkia), but also sound experimentation and advances in studio recordings. One thing is certain: if they hadn't existed, we would all be listening to the Modà today. more
The Libertines
I give them 3 because they were a genuine band, especially live. Regardless of the private life of their singer (honestly, I couldn't care less, I judge the music they offered), they didn't seem pretentious to me, but rather a sincere rock and roll band, perhaps one of the last to embody the spirit of this music, in an extremely saturated modern music market filled with fake characters and contrived bands. more
Amy Winehouse
They've already included her in the 27 Club, haven't they? She never told me much, but it's worth noting that there was (and still is) a lot worse in the mainstream. more
The Velvet Underground
These days I see a lot of people taking selfies with a banana... have they finally become famous? more
blink-182
Good for having a laugh with their videos, or for putting on their records at a party among teenagers, but punk was-is something else. Back then I liked "Enema Of The State" when it came out, but it's also true that I was 14 at the time, and that explains the first part of my definition. more
Isis
Their music was built on continuous contrasts and different sensations: sound walls of disproportionate size, followed by liquid atmospheric moments with a dark aftertaste, shadowed by stunning allure... An "Oceanic" of emotions crafted in the listening of each track, leading to the final ecstasy... Imposing... more
Six Feet Under
How I loved Six Feet Under!!! A project born thanks to the voice of Chris Barnes, the first singer of Cannibal Corpse, and the guitar of Allen West from Obituary; their Death Metal was atypical, always rich in groove and mid-tempo that made the sound gloomy and murky, thanks also to Chris's incredibly heavy and oppressive growl... Tombali... more
Gang Of Four -Entertainment!
It was 1979 when the Gang of Four debuted with a work that would mark the beginning of a journey; a short album that assaults you with a sound infused with punk tones immersed in the emerging new wave, featuring that particular funk flavor that gives the album sounds never heard before. The sound is driven by sharp, fractured guitars that carve into the listening experience of a fundamental work for England and beyond; years later, "Damaged Gods" remains a track with a "cutting" sonic impact. more
Wu Ming
Even without having read "The Army of Sleepwalkers," for me, it stands among the best in the history of world literature. I've never found anything similar that has come out in the last 100 years or so. more
The Velvet Underground -The Velvet Underground & Nico
Even today, every time I listen to the religious cadence of "Venus in Furs," I feel the urge to kneel and thank the V.U. for giving us a record of such magnitude. more
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jack Frusciante has left the band more
The Who -Live At Leeds
A live that is a great, fucking punch in the stomach. Hard-hitting, distorted, tightly wound, and screamed, it features the most incendiary, superhuman, and insane versions of many classics from the London band, here perhaps at the height of their Live power. "Heaven and Hell," "Young Man Blues," "Magic Bus" (monumental by the way) are worth mentioning, but above all, the incredible 14 minutes of the medley of "My Generation" (the reprises of "Tommy" are played with an unheard-of violence). Indecipherable. more
Deftones
Alternative metal, nu-metal, post-hardcore, crossover with new wave references; one of the bands that is hardest to categorize. Then one fine day a few years ago I read a definition of them that struck me, and since then I’ve used it to define them: EVOLVED ROCK. I think it's perfect. And what do you think? more
Van Morrison
George Ivan Morrison from Belfast, Northern Ireland; we are nearing fifty years of a music career, spanning multiple genres: folk, soft rock, pop, blues, gospel, rock and roll, jazz, etc... etc... Certainly, some off moments can be found in his vast production, but the five stars are a given... Now I'm going to listen to his "Hymns to the Silence." more
