John Peel
this gentleman is music, the history of music. They should name a star after him in memory of the countless stars he has discovered. John Peel's Favourite Top 15 Records of 1975  more
Lucio Dalla -Come è profondo il mare
The predominantly Mediterranean sound and the melancholic, decadent lyrics make this one of the absolute best albums by the Emilian artist. Personally, the tracks I love most from this record are the title track, "Il Cucciolo Alfredo," and "Disperato Erotico Stomp," but the last three ballads are also fantastic (I have a soft spot for "Barcarola"). A great album by an unforgettable musician. more
Ettore Scola
among the greatest Italian directors and beyond, in my opinion. author of an impressive series of masterpieces: "C'eravamo tanto amati" and "La terrazza" above all, iconic films depicting the decline and failure of the left and the Italian leftist man. also magnificent are "Una giornata particolare" and "Brutti, sporchi e cattivi." I can't wait for the 12th to see his film about Fellini. more
Johnny Marr
About 50% of English indie bands should pay the Lord the royalties. I'm speaking as a layman when it comes to the instrument, but his guitar, along with Tom Verlaine and Vini Reilly, is my favorite, with its recognizable touch. His "The Messengers" is a good album; clearly, he can't repeat the chords that have enchanted us forever. Johnny Marr - New Town Velocity [Official Music Video]  more
Dead Boys -Young, Loud And Snotty
Here it is, speaking of FUNDAMENTAL albums released in that fateful '77... a list far from short, make no mistake... but the work in question stands at the top of that list. I don’t know if the title of the album or the text of “I Need Lunch” is more of a Manifesto... more
Joy Division
Band I adored during my teenage years, complete sadness. more
Fear -The Record
The first album by Fear. A milestone of the early '80s Hardcore scene. A rude, politically incorrect, homophobic, vulgar record... in a word, punk. Fuck the rest... more
Nino Rota
simply one of the greatest composers that ever existed. LA STRADA. FEDERICO FELLINI. NINO ROTA. MAURICE ANDRE.  more
Robin Thicke
The umpteenth spray of crap made in the USA. That garbage that’s playing on the radio is worse than an ear infection. more
Nirvana
The birth and death of the "Seattle sound." more
Musica da cucina
Italian musical project by Fabio Bonelli. Surreal tracks between acoustic sounds and lo-fi electronics. Musica da Cucina - Onions On Your Fingers  more
Kevin Lyttle
With "turn me on" you could really score. more
Radiohead
Perfect. more
Sex Pistols
"The greatest rock 'n' roll scam." Musically nonsensical, at a certain point in their career their only aim was to provoke scandal rather than make music. They became an icon of the emerging punk scene, influencing countless future bands. more
Deep Purple
Only "Burn" is worth the 5. more
Led Zeppelin
Fundamental to the birth of heavy metal. First five albums, excellent. more
Max Pezzali
MAX PEZZALI IS GREAT, HE HAS MADE SOME BEAUTIFUL AND SIGNIFICANT SONGS!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CRITICISMS ABOUT HIM, AS HE IS ONE OF THE BEST ITALIAN ARTISTS, SIGNIFICANT AND VERY TALENTED! more
Cream
POWER GOD more
Nico
An authentic Diva, a unique artist, decadent, enchanting, outside the traditional boundaries of rock, but above all, optimistic like a quail near the microwave. more
Antonello Venditti -Lilly
The masterpiece of the scruffy Venditti, authentic and politicized. Seven splendid pearls, highlighted by "Compagno di Scuola," "L'Amore non ha padroni," and "Attila e la Stella," but above all the ten minutes of pianist unease in "Lo Stambecco Ferito," with a magical final solo: his absolute best piece. more
