David Grubbs
Great artist and impeccable Curriculum Vitae. Maximum score without a second thought. more
Nirvana
I will never tear my ears off for them, but in the end, I like almost everything. I've never understood what’s so great about Nevermind; for me, it’s just a nice little disc and nothing more. Bleach is my favorite, it’s an amazing record; but I also think In Utero and Incesticide are good works. In short, they made a very overrated album, but I wouldn't want the fiercest detractors to end up underestimating them, that would be the height of irony. more
George A. Romero
Z_Z_Z_Z_ZOMBIE! "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" are two great films; other works might be more for fans, his and the dumb and friendly zombies in history. Like yours truly (a fan, maybe dumb, but not a living dead though). more
The Offspring
If it weren't for a couple of mediocre albums and some chord progressions rehashed in different styles, they would be remembered as the punk rock band of the '90s and 2000s. Still great, though. more
Nirvana
It's a real shame that this Sub Pop band broke up in the early months of 1991... With 1 album, 1 EP, and a handful of singles and various bootlegs, they were "shot" straight into the mythology of independent music. more
Christina Aguilera

Heavy Vegetable -The Amazing Undersea Adventure Of Aqua Kitty And Friends
Underrated masterpiece of the noise/alt/math/post hc underground and whatever else you want to throw in..."The Double Nickels on the Dime of the '90s," said the good Bisius on these pages some time ago. How can you argue with him, really... An eclectic, crazy album, among the most brilliant of that decade. Unfortunately, also one of the most obscure. more
Thomas Function
Overwhelming 60s nostalgic Garage Power Pop, with clear references to the "Paisley" scene. The voice sounds like Tom Verlaine's. Both of their works "Celebration" and "In The Valley Of Sickness" are highly recommended. more
Supertramp
Refined and capable. more
NoMeansNo
They smash it. more
Canned Heat
West Coast blues on mescaline. more
U2
Overrated in Italy because they are Catholic. more
Claudio Rocchi
To remember The Magical Flight of a great of music more
Queen
They were quite banal in all the genres and trends they rode. They owe their fame more to Mercury's charisma and stage presence than to their actual musical talents. more
High Tide
To find oneself on a stormy night, with the wind transforming into a desperate, sinister violin that screams in our ears our solitude and powerlessness in the face of the relentless waves of black sound that will inevitably overwhelm us. more
The God Machine
Dark emotions, anger, despair, carved into two monumental granite discs. more
