Queen
The early records are worth a listen; then absolute nothingness. As for Freddy Mercury, greatly overrated... One can live very well without them. more
Paul Chain
Pure talent... Immense! more
The Beatles
Puffy, insignificant, musically poor; those who say they are rock probably don't know them well. Compared to them, even Orietta Berti seems more rock to me (to whom I apologize for the irreverent comparison!) more
Pink Floyd
Useless, boring, tedious... more
James Blunt
He also did something excellent: withdrawing from the scene. more
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
The greatest Italian progressive rock group (the Area were something else entirely). Very few bands can boast three albums of the caliber of "Banco del Mutuo Soccorso" (1972), "Darwin!" (1972), and "Io Sono Nato Libero" (1973), which are essential. The duo of voice and piano by Francesco Di Giacomo and Vittorio Nocenzi is immense. Thank you. more

They were definitely less trivial and a bit more varied than the numerous pseudo-punk bands of today! I'd rather choose these! more
Green Day
But how the hell do you think it's worthwhile to waste time defining this crap of a group?!? Damn, I'm doing it too... How the hell did it occur to me to waste time telling you that you're wasting time defining this bullshit?!? more
Radiohead
Valid (especially at the beginning) but they have NEVER caught me. more
Green Day
The only good one is "Kerplunk!". Nothing innovative but pleasant to listen to. The rest is raw crap. more
Weather Report -8:30
Star formation of the weather report with Peter Erskine on drums. 'Live at Leeds' immediately comes to mind among my favorite live albums. more
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso -Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
"The Piggy Bank" is a classic: perhaps the most beautiful of the Roman group, but also the one that owes the most to a certain English progressive (in the harder passages I find a bit of VDGG, in the more dreamy ones a bit of Genesis), and the fairy-tale and medieval themes further confirm this. Three masterpieces: the anti-war anthem of "R.I.P" (with a tear-jerking finale), the jazz-prog-psychedelic drift of "Metamorfosi," and their absolute most beautiful suite, "Il Giardino del Mago." more
blink-182
Supreme altars of little kids... And anyway, as a trinity group of useless middle-school clown shitters, we were perfectly fine with Green Day.. Why do majors hate us so much? more
Joy Division
New Dawn Fades... may God forgive us for having understood that life is a great illusion. more
blink-182
In short... Enema of the State isn’t bad.. even though Dookie by Green Day is better... anyway, I’m not really into punk...(as much as one can define it punk) more
Antony and the Johnsons
Bah. From what I've heard, with all due respect, it really gets on my nerves. more
The Get Up Kids
When emo and stupid were still two very different things more
Urban Verbs -Urban Verbs
The creature of Roddy Frantz (a surname, a program) and Robert Goldstein came out with two jaw-dropping records (because even "Early Damage," no kidding, is no joke...). 4 and a half for this. more
The Feelies -Crazy Rhythms
Anton Fier is unlike any other drummer in the world. Write this sentence down, and repeat it to yourselves 100/200/300 times. In the end, you'll sing it like the Our Father. Anton Fier is unlike any other drummer in the world. more
