Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band -Trout Mask Replica
Here be lions, a record that explores the possible random and mathematical combinations of blues and beyond, neurotic, rhythmic, I enjoy listening to a few songs, but the heart of man is not to be commanded. more
The Police -Ghost In The machine
Aside from the first of the Police, this is the only album by "Pungiglione" that I love completely. Perfect: experimental just enough, rhythmic, funk, reggae, and a Pop that gives little to banality. I’ll leave "Reggatta De Blanc" to the fans of the Police, and I’ll keep this one for life. more
IZO
Human case. 5 why he did the right thing, he stepped back. more
The Jam -All Mod Cons
The manual of the perfect mod in the footsteps of Pete Townshend and Ray Davies (a not-so-accidental cover of "David Watts"). It draws from the past but what comes out is a generational album for '78, with Weller addressing "metropolitan" themes ("In The Crowd" and "Down In The Tube Station..") and a superb Foxton on bass, set to rhythms already post-punk. more
Sigma
One of the few clear minds on this site. No fake. No troll. Simply clear-headed. more
Slayer -Decade Of Aggression - Live
There are countless live albums that impress with their power, but none can compete with the sonic violence, brutal impact, and expressive ferocity that come from listening to this double album by SLAYER, captured at the peak of a career that has known no "melodic" concessions. "Hell Awaits" is the primal scream that opens the live set, followed by "War Ensemble," "South Of Heaven," "Raining Blood," "Angel Of Death," and a concluding "Chemical Warfare" for the few survivors. more

great expert of Rock, alchemist of the staff, his is the secret formula of surf music.
Surf Music = rock 'n' roll + pop + beach lyrics. more
Sigma
Wow, you could call it Sigma. Yeah, but that will just get to their head. For me, it brings a sadness, really, no irony here. more

Thin White Rope
When I need to define the group of Guy Kyser, I just have to remember their superb double live album that concluded their important career; not to mention the five equally valid studio albums: torrential and concrete in their exhilarating musical proposal, which encompassed desert-rock, country, hints of psychedelia.....Epoch-making... more
Control Denied
Control Denied represents the project that Chuck Schuldiner formed alongside Death in the last part of his short earthly existence. A noteworthy group producing excellent Progressive metal, with power metal influences mainly due to the vocals of Tim Aymar; a technically formidable lineup... more
Dire Straits -On Every Street
The radiant musical career of Dire Straits comes to a close with their sixth studio album; a work that reflects the themes that Mark has skillfully gifted to us listeners, with his usual, wise, unique, wonderful guitar style, finely accompanied by fitting arrangements, never trivial and always capable of evoking deep emotions... and it is an emotion for me to think that we have reached the finish line... These have been important years... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. more
Cripple Bastards
People who give 1 to Cripple Bastards don't understand what Grindcore is. They have been able to hold their own against bands like Napalm Death or Nasum, producing gems: (the masterpiece) "Misantropo a Senso Unico," "Variante alla morte," "Desperately Insensitive," and "Nero In Metastasi." Dark, furious, stripped-down, and psychotic sound that assaults ears and mind. If some American band had done just 1/3 of all this, there would be thousands and thousands of idiots praising it. more
Primus -Suck On This
The musical story of Les, Larry, and Tim begins with a live album... and it's immediately "Psichedelic Polka" to use a definition provided by the bassist himself. Beyond the obvious beauty of the songs contained within, I like to start with the first thirty seconds of the album: the Californian guys welcome the audience with a version of "YYZ" by Rush, and their proverbial technique immediately clarifies some of their musical references; right after that, we embark on the adventure of fisherman John. more
George Harrison
The Beatle for those who don't love the Beatles... if pushed to the limit, they always saved him. more
Genesis -Genesis
2.5. Let's say about a two and a half, almost three. "Mama" and "Home by the Sea" (the first part, the second is a huge "meh") are two pretty pop songs (fine, beautiful) and Silver Rainbow is nice too. The rest is to be thrown away. All the other tracks not only suck but are also so insubstantial that they practically don't exist. The aggravating factor is "Illegal Alien," one of the most embarrassing things I've ever listened to. more
Frank Zappa
I have been wondering for a long time whether it is right for me to define Frank, and especially if I have the ability to avoid falling into the usual labels: he is the best, no he sucks, he is a demigod, indeed he is a full one, a musical genius, no an opportunist like few others, a jack-of-all-trades musically speaking, verbose and heterogeneous to the point of being tiresome, manic and precise, no pompous and cloying... etc... etc... I stop, I am not able to do it!!!!! more
Dire Straits -Alchemy
When I have to talk about "Alchemy," I like to highlight a detail that may not be given the proper consideration. I'm referring to the Deluxe Edition with the attached DVD, where you can clearly see how the band, throughout the long concert, always plays with a prominent smile, a certain sign of an innate pleasure in presenting such masterpieces in Music to the audience. One of the live albums that I consider to be particularly well-done and of exquisite impact for fans of the English group. more
Helmet
"Strap It On" and "Meantime" are the musical legacy that Helmet have left us; two albums short in duration but ferocious in impact through a noise-rock with Hardcore influences that leaves no survivors. Live, it's a staggering experience... with the auditory apparatus becoming "non-operational" for a few days!!!!!!!....to die unsung would really bring you down. more
