Martello: Venderò Traccia 02 in Venderò Album - 1976

I know that 4 stars might seem sacrilegious, but I absolutely don’t spit on the track. It remains a masterpiece, but it doesn’t resonate with me like it has with many other listeners. more
La torre di Babele
Are you or are you not the masters of the earth? more
Riccardo Cocciante
I can't bring myself to hate him. I wish I could, but I can't. For 3 simple reasons:
1) The Q-disc with Rino Gaetano and New Perigeo
2) The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which if I'm not mistaken, had Pasquale Panella involved in the script
3) The fact that he re-sang the songs in Toy Story in Italian, which improves them in many ways (and this is not to diminish Newman)

Just for this. Stop. more
Fugazi
They have churned out masterpiece after masterpiece, they are the leading exponents of DIY ethics, and they have distinguished themselves as one of the most influential, innovative, and wonderful bands in history. They should be revered and loved unconditionally. more
Electric Wizard
Good job, but they're a bit too much inspired by I Cugini Di Campagna. more
Blue Öyster Cult
Authors of truly refined Heavy Metal. Favorite albums: "Tyranny And Mutation" and "Fire Of Unknown Origin." The first song I listened to by them was the catchy "Dancin' In The Ruins," which I still adore, although it belongs to a not-so-great album. more
Black Sabbath
A Proto-Doom that never ages. more
A.A. Williams
Forever Blue more
Eric Clapton -pilgrim
Well-produced album, but lacking the intensity of Unplugged and From The Cradle.. sticking to the "recent" works. more
Lucio Battisti -Lucio Battisti
First chapter of the Battistiano songbook, actually the first collection of singles released during that period (together with Vol.2, Emozioni and Vol.4). What can I say, there are the first historic tracks like “Un’avventura”, “29 settembre”, “Non è Francesca”, “Per una lira”, which will pave the way for the early Lucio. It's always difficult for me to give a definitive rating to compilations, but let’s say an overall 4 (also considering the subsequent 3 collections) seems fair, especially in light of the levels our artist would soon reach. more
Edoardo Bennato -Burattino Senza Fili
Today I listened to it again, wonderful as always. Rock’n’roll, sarcasm, mockery, irony at its highest levels. I don’t want to repeat myself by saying the same things over and over, but the first 5 albums by Edo are among the best things ever released in Italy. more
Avril Lavigne
As the author of that abomination of a song titled "Girlfriend," she certainly stands at the top of the mountain of garbage music. more
Alice in Chains
The opening riff of "Down In A Hole" can't help but resonate in my mind from time to time. more
Lucio Battisti -Amore e non amore
The first masterpiece by Battisti, as well as one of the most influential Italian records of all time. Many justified words have always been spent (myself included) for the Battisti Avant-garde of “Anima Latina,” but in my opinion, this is by no means inferior. Guys, we are in 1971 (actually, the album was released 8 months after the recording because the Ricordi considered it too experimental for those times) and here we are at the highest levels of Italic Hard-Prog, with the entire PFM on instruments (only Pagani is missing) incredibly inspired. Extended tracks, whether instrumental or not, with Hammond organ and electric guitar solos (unthinkable stuff back then) with Lucio perhaps at his highest levels as singer and musician. Mogol said that Battisti had made this record with the Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in mind, and you can definitely hear it. Very underrated, perhaps too much. more
Coroner
Strepitous lyrics, incredible vocals, and album covers as fascinating as they are unsettling. The best of the best you can find in Thrash Metal music. more
Rihanna
I would see her much better on Pornhub than as a singer. more
Blind Guardian
The granite explosiveness of "Imaginations From The Other Side" and the ethereal beauty of "Nightfall In Middle-Earth" are more than enough for a solid five. And then, first love is certainly not forgotten. more
The Clash -London Calling
Epochal record, one of the albums of my life. Objectively, choosing between this and the next one is almost impossible, as the creative period of the Clash between 1979 and 1980 remains immeasurable, but I’m (perhaps) more attached to this one. Let’s do this: I’ll keep them both. more
AC/DC
I love with Bon Scott.
I hate with Brian Johnson. more
Ramones
One, two, three, four... I'll take care of the five. more
