Lucio Battisti -Una Donna per Amico
Do you want to know what I think, for what it's worth? That this is the most overrated of Battisti's works. Yes, okay: technically it's perfection, played like a god, whatever you want. But there's no madness, no bite, no sweat. I've always found it a cold record. So impeccable that it's insubstantial. At the opposite end of "Anima Latina." more
The Church
Among the best exponents of that psychedelic rock revival that sprang up in the mid-eighties. The Australians reach their compositional zenith with the album "Starfish" in 1988, doing so by incorporating into their already excellent music that light yet distinctly recognizable pop touch: tracks like "Antenna" and "Reptile" demonstrate my argument.......and I haven't mentioned that song, their song. more

Always found you pleasant... then Weller, well. more
L7
Seen years years years years ago. Sexy and pissed off live. more
Helmet -Meantime
After a debut of equal value and unheard power, Helmet unleash their definitive album: just 37 minutes and 10 songs of such compactness and sonic solidity that they knock you flat. Tons of guitar riffs amplified by a thunderous primal rhythm section; those who saw them live in the early nineties know.... and can share with me the "destabilizing ferocity" of "UNSUNG"................... more
Truly
"Fast Stories...From Kid Coma" not only stands out as one of the best albums to come out of '90s Seattle, but it's also among the most obscure. Just like Truly themselves. They had the peculiarity (regarding the so-called "Seattle Sound") of using keyboards and various effects, along with a strong psychedelic and almost progressive flavor. By the way, it featured Mark Pickerel (former Screaming Trees), Hiro Yamamoto (former Soundgarden), and the leader and guitarist Robert Roth. more
Kevin Ayers -Joy of a Toy
Masterpiece of utterly flipped pop songs. Damn those acids, damn! Genius more
Natale
The latest album ''Satan Claus'' isn't bad, though a bit overrated. more
Sargeist -The Rebirth of a Cursed Existence
A happy insight from Moribund, which has created this compilation of overlooked gems originally released on vinyl... what emerges is a devout, obsessive, and unhealthy adoration for the impure. more
Foo Fighters
Come on, in the end they’re not that bad; for albums like ''Wasting Light,'' ''Foo Fighters,'' and ''The Color And The Shape'' I could easily give a 5. They’ve made some bullshit too... more
Blues Brothers
I didn't betray you. I'm serious. I was... out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have the money to take a taxi. The dry cleaner hadn't returned my tuxedo! It was my mother's funeral! The house had collapsed! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! The locusts! It wasn't my fault! I swear to God! more

Lucio Battisti
Maybe we won't continue, but with Mogol a handful of songs that are worth all the greatest artists around the world (Emozioni, I Giardini di Marzo, Il Mio Canto Libero, La Luce dell'Est, La Collina Dei Ciliegi) A masterpiece album like Anima Latina and then the white period with Panella, sublimated in the masterpiece of "Don Giovanni." more
Nick Cave
Upon listening to "The Good Son," I declare it a near-masterpiece "Your Funeral... My Trial," two masterpieces "From Her To Eternity" and "Tender Pray," and two that transcend the concept of masterpiece "Good Son," "The Firstborn Is Dead." more
Slayer
The University of Pogo: you can't consider yourself a "Pogatore" if you haven't survived one of their concerts first. Try it to believe it... The sequence "Raining Blood - Angel of Death" from a few years ago earned me such an important certification on the field. more
Camel
Very big until 1979. more
The Housemartins -Now That's What I Call Quite Good
The musical journey of the Housemartins comes to an end after just two albums and this double anthology collection, in my vinyl version, with 24 tracks of pure fun, featuring their songs so rich in sixties guitars, blended with melodic pop and clean vocals. The a cappella version of "Caravan of Love," which carries a scent of gospel and soul, is their fitting farewell to the music world: with their gaze ever turned to the past, as is their habit. more
Depeche Mode
Masters like few in combining words and images, some of the most beautiful videos of the '80s are their work. Innovators like almost no one in the synth field, above-average pop lyrics. more
Morphine -Good
Simply the best of the best! Any adjective wouldn't do justice to this extraordinary-mega-super-masterpiec e! more
