Ronaldo
The Portuguese Cristiano is undoubtedly a champion. But until he wins a World Cup as the top scorer by scoring a brace in the final, all after two consecutive ruptures of the patellar tendon, any comparison with Luiz Nazario is completely out of place. more
The Byrds -Mr. Tambourine Man
I had snubbed the very first Byrds in favor of their Psych-Folk-Rock masterpieces from '66 to '68. Listening to their debut again, I found a nice album, pleasant and full of gems that are either excellent covers (Dylan being the most honored) or original tracks (especially Clarke). The legendary guitar of McGuinn (Jingle-Jangle), accompanied by the intertwining of Clarke and Crosby's guitars in a texture that influenced so many bands in the '80s and '90s (minghia the R.E.M.). Essential, innovative, immense. more
Gigi Finizio
A modest artist, he deserves what he has. 2.5 stars. more
Gigi D'Alessio
Better the period from 1999-2004, but despite that, it doesn't reach the two stars that I had given for a supposed "musical preparation" that isn't there. My sociology professor called him "the worst singer in the history of the world." more
Ronaldo
This is the greatest goal in soccer history: Ronaldo goal vs Compostela In years and years, NEVER seen anything like this.

Briegel
Among the top 3/4 defenders of the '80s. Just ask Maradona. On the flank, like few others. more
Lucio Dalla
A truly great musician and singer. The challenging trilogy with Roversi ("Il giorno aveva cinque teste", "Andride Solforosa", but especially "Automobili") and the three albums from the '77-'80 period, namely the two self-titled "Lucio Dalla" and "Dalla" and his absolute peak "Come è profondo il Mare", guarantee him a five for life. "It’s clear that thought is like the ocean: you can’t stop it, you can’t fence it in." more
Paolo Bonolis e Uan
Good job, for heaven's sake, but who cares... I can't stand chatty people after a while. more
Fabio Fazio
He does his job, simply; from a professional standpoint, I don't think it can be disputed. From a personal point of view, he and his partner Gramellini often represent that do-gooder mentality at all costs and those platitudes (see a conversation from some time ago about the integration of the Rom community) that I really don't agree with. more
Tim Buckley
Unique, a voice from other planets more
Fabio Fazio
Like many others, that is... more
The Electric Prunes -Underground
Absolute masterpiece of psychedelia, American and all, from the flourishing '60s, an album that knocked me out from the very first listen, with so many fabulous tracks and those few that aren't still fall somewhere between good and pleasant. Beautiful. P.S.: "Dr. Do Good" is irresistible. more
Fabio Fazio
The quintessence of ass-kissing more
Stereolab
a sound cocktail between neu! and velvet underground catapulted into the '90s. an unmissable transient random disco. more
Thomas Pynchon
The Ambrogio of madness? more
Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, Massimo Venier
3 men and a leg, the gags from Mai Dire Goal, the shorts and tel chi el telun: for me, they were the best Italian comedians. more
Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, Massimo Venier
For a few years now, I haven't been following them anymore, but I Corti, a couple of films, and the epic saga of the Swiss guarantee them a solid 5. more
