Oblivians
The feeling of having your ears filled with muddy sludge that seeps deep into your brain, then hardens into something rough and jagged, completely dulling you. more
Julian Cope
great writer and hound of extinct music scenes, after the anonymous experience as a musician that did not bring him fame, he threw himself into writing about extinct and buried music scenes that are still marketable. more
Iggy Pop
Thank you Iggy, you are now the Rock. Bold and brilliant front-man. IMMENSE. more
David Bowie
Here comes another one, who has always followed the trends of the moment, a great illusionist and quick transformist, he knew how to choose his collaborators well and thanks more to them than to himself, he became famous. more
Melvins
seminal artists from the 80s onwards. a bridge between the old/new ways of making metal and punk, after them, everything becomes post. more
Joy Division
epic transformers of all those depressed and melancholic mental sensations, a perfect blend of music and cerebral feelings, immense more
Devendra Banhart
here's another one, like Beck, a fake-alternative (forgive me this description), it's not enough to draw from the good music of the 70s to be a good artist. I don't trust him. more
Tom Waits
A Hero, a Legend, the Last One Standing, the Quintessence of the Seventh Art, too bad he is at the mercy of vices and alcohol, but perhaps it is precisely the vices that have made him even greater. more
Tony Banks
Shy and reserved, he is not a showman like Emerson, but his brilliant ideas have turned their music into legend. more
Can -The Lost Tapes
A chest brimming with lost jewels more
Gentle Giant
brilliant and virtuous artists, if one has to find a flaw, it’s their sense of measure; sometimes they want to overdo it and they succeed, but it compromises their spontaneity. more
Beck
a mediocre artist who follows the trends of the moment adds a bit of vintage style, which is always cool, and acts like they're alternative. It doesn't seem right to me. more
Phil Collins
polymorphic and eclectic artist, great prog drummer in the Olympus, great singer and showman more
Buddy Holly
he basically invented pop more
Elvis Presley
the right tuna at the right time, used as a Trojan horse to unlock and invade the world with rock 'n' roll, a magical presence on stage but lacking in everything else. a failed actor more
Bo Diddley
the first to understand that rock wasn't just for dancing and picking up but to freely let loose without rules, before Elvis who copied it, before everyone. more
Fugazi
When I have to choose a group that has made coherence, concreteness in music, independence in decisions, it's always "R E P E A T E R F U G A Z I......forever, forever, forever,.......". more
Dire Straits -Dire Straits
The debut of Dire Straits is an album recorded in just a few weeks; simplicity, essentiality, and right from the start, a style to spare. A soft rock-blues that draws its influences from J.J. Cale and Bob Dylan, yet already showcases a well-defined personality. Nine songs unfold during the listening experience, with the famous "Sultans of Swing," a guarantee of a beautiful career to come, which will soon captivate Dylan himself through a series of excellent collaborations with Mark Knopfler. more
Squirrel Bait
From Louisville, hardcore and post-punk attitude for the precursors of post-rock. That's where Slint and many others were born... Squirrel Bait - Kid Dynamite - Skag Heaven 1987

Three Mile Pilot
Primordial and little-known creature of Pall Jenkins from Black Heart Procession. Crooked and oblique rock from San Diego. Slint meets God Machine?... The chief assassin to the sinister from 1994 is a masterpiece. Three Mile pilot - Shang Vs. Hanger
