Arcade Fire
reflektor is a randomaccessmemories that sounds even sadder, stale, and opportunistic. more
Television
Great band! At least if we consider the first two albums. more
Arcade Fire
Among the most interesting groups in the modern Indie Rock scene. more
Nico
My… um, Heroine. It was love at first listen. An absolute anomaly for its time that inspired the devoted legions of its post-punk and darkwave acolytes in the decades that followed, both depressed and not. Its echoes can still be heard in many works by contemporary indie female singer-songwriters (not Italian, unfortunately). It will forever remain in my heart (of darkness) and in my black earbuds. more
Baustelle
The current (bau)stels of a radical-chic from the posh left, yet endowed with a lyrical and stylistic sophistication quite rare in the contemporary Italian alternative scene, albeit oriented towards the past (inter)national-musical-popular. The background is pulp, as taught by Tarantino and Rodríguez, but a few forays into the modern wouldn't be a crime. more

Never again hipsters. Never again! more
The Byrds -Fifth Dimension
Welcome, psychedelia. more
Neil Young -Zuma
Riding out of a black hole on a crazy horse with an electric socket for an asshole. Beautiful record, and incredibly important for things to come (Dinosaur Jr.?), like his other works from the end of the decade. Always specifying that for me the black hole mentioned above has produced the highest points of his career. more
Beastie Boys
3 Useless rappers, really bad. 3 musicians with enough groove: Mario Caldato Jr, and the Dust Brothers. Alone, the three are worth from "not much" to "kind of good." Whatever song you like by the Beastie Boys, check the credits, and they didn’t do it. Or at most, they didn’t do it alone. Whatever track you skip from their albums, if you check it out, they were the ones behind it. To The 5 Boroughs is crap, right? It's their only album. Then again, albums with a 5 rating, nothing to say, wouldn’t want to. more
Mylène Farmer
Insist until the very end to get what you want; otherwise, make her feel guilty! more
Mikael Åkerfeldt
The best metal singer of the last 10 years in growl and clean voice. Outstanding! more
Beastie Boys
Two burps of madness and three farts of genius. more

I will eagerly await "Jim Morrison" and "Nick Drake." more
Deftones
One of the best Alternative Metal bands. They still rock hard today. more
Beastie Boys
a pot of adrenaline! more
Transatlantic
Tedious, heavy, self-referential, technically flawless, and ice-cold... I only tolerate their cover of "In Held 'Twas In I," which still retains only a minimal part of the emotion of the original. more
Beastie Boys
an enema of emotions more
Queen
I am one of the first groups to have loved, I can't deny them the best. more
Talking Heads
Really strong. more
Swans
The infinite darkness... more
