Robert Fripp
Oh professor more
Luciano Pavarotti
Great tenor voice. If you listen to "Torna a Surriento" and then that of the legendary Elvis, you'll understand that Pavarotti sings better than Elvis. Much better. But Pavarotti couldn't do Rock, simply because he lacks the abilities. But he remains a great tenor. more
David Crosby
The most talented of the quartet, I believe He is the inventor of American psychedelia.
P.S. Who knows if maybe He and the one you think of, Syd Barrett, had made a record together; who knows if it would have resulted in a masterpiece of mixed psychedelia and what songs they would have created... an atomic bomb!! more
Syd Barrett
Brilliant madman! The inventor of English psychedelia, and we are grateful to him for that.
P.S. Who knows, if instead of taking massive doses of LSD he had just taken light drugs or wine, maybe he wouldn't have gone insane, Gilmour would be doing another job, and who knows what albums he would have made. What do you think? more
Blind Faith -Blind Faith
"Oh delightful delight and enchantment. It was pleasure impatient and become flesh. Like feathers of a rare polished metal, or like silver wine poured in a spaceship. Farewell force of gravity, as I slushed... what enchanting visions!" (quoted from A Clockwork Orange) more
Marc Bolan
The discoverer of Glam Rock, nothing but Bowie! more
Women
Thanks to them we are born and they keep everyone pregnant, but in the modern era they have taken too much power, on par with men and even more than men's sex. Regulate yourselves. more
Nine Inch Nails
Reznor immense, at least in Downward Spiral. Always on the edge of destructive noise! more
Poligamia
If it were made into law, I won't hide it, I would follow it right away. It shouldn't be bad to have more than three wives; of course, they shouldn't nag and talk like women do these days... who knows if one day we really have to follow it. more
Ramones -Ramones
They wanted to prove that knowing complicated musical intricacies isn't necessary; they kicked in the face of the polished world of the music business. And they do it with an album of immeasurable importance, simple, straightforward, played with minimal technique; songs that have forever marked my love and total devotion to the Ramones...An assault with two-minute tracks: "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Beat On The Brat," "Judy Is A PUNK"....pure and simple legend. more
Joey Ramone
I am bound to all the Ramone brothers by an unbreakable bond through time, forever. But Joey was special to me, a friend, unique, who gave me and inspired absolute joy. "Don't Worry About Me".... see you maybe one day up there.... more
Godflesh
After being one of the architects of the birth of Grindcore, Justin Broadrick shapes with his new creature an artificial machine of cerebral and mind-bending sounds. Guitar and bass create a deafening, mantric wall of colossal proportions, which the drum machine amplifies into a primordial destabilizing industrial sound. Generational. more
Thin White Rope -The Ruby Sea
The swan song concerning the studio works of Thin White Rope; and it's truly a shame that their career lasted only a few intense years, spent largely on the road. But they are still capable of giving us memorable songs like the very short "Tina and Glen" with its country-western tones, thanks to the proverbial guitar strokes that were a distinctive trademark of Guy and Roger; and then comes "Hunter's Moon" with that fluid instrumental conclusion...without words. more
Pink Floyd
First extraordinary album, eternal among my collection and listened to for a long time. The post-Barrett albums feel a bit too heavy to me, sometimes even boring. Dark Side of the Moon, however, is nice. more
The Clash
The punk I adore the most so far is Joe Strummer; I doubt anyone can match him... A fundamental band, great provocateurs, and Mick Jones is a madman! more
CCCP Fedeli alla linea
Genius. Punk with a certain "artistic" depth, at least in the first album! It's a shame about Ferretti, who seems to have sparked discussions among many of the band's supporters... One of the last names in my discovery of old music. more
Robert Plant
A voice not easily bearable as far as I'm concerned. A great image of style and perfectly in symbiosis with the music of Led Zeppelin! Highly inspirational, a tremendous lyricist and, for me, too underrated! more
Jimmy Page
Clear demonstration that a guitarist focused solely on technique is worth as much as an accordion player at a Talent Show. Page is indisputable... Riff and career with Led Zeppelin are legendary! more
Syd Barrett
A genius. Deep respect for the "mad diamond" of Pink Floyd. I love his way of producing "spatial" psychedelia... Solo albums are not much less than the work with PF! It lasted too short :(_ more
Maureen Tucker
Tiny yet violent... Despite a subdued Lou Reed, in 1993, at 50 years old and with 5 children on his shoulders, he still managed to evoke all the primal and energetic anger of the percussion signature of the Velvet Underground. Deep respect! more
