Slayer
Extreme metal is born and dies with Reign in Blood. more
Frank Zappa
The artist par excellence more
Uriah Heep
A group that enjoyed some success in the 70s but failed to make a lasting impression; in fact, their musical output was limited to capitalizing on the cultural and media earthquake triggered by Led Zeppelin (like many other bands of the time), recycling the latter's Hard Rock and peppering it with pseudo-progressive mannerisms. However, this does not take away from the fact that Demon's and Wizard and The Magician's Birthday are good albums. more
Joy Division
Mirror of England in the late 70s, during the newly born Thatcher government, they exploited the cultural void created by the recently deceased punk movement to indelibly mark the history of music. It can be said that every band born after their dissolution has been influenced, whether consciously or unconsciously. Watching the documentary Control is recommended. more
Nirvana
Nirvana represents the pinnacle of 80s musical trends. They are children of both the Germs and the Pixies, having blended their hardcore-punk roots with the American alternative movements of the 80s, identifying themselves with the grunge movement and bringing it into the mainstream. Led by the charismatic figure of Kurt Cobain, both adored and misunderstood, they gave voice to the restless youth of the 90s. With their end came that of grunge and, more generally, of rock music. more
Cream
Legendary protagonists of an irreplaceable musical era. But for them, as well as for many other great artists of that time, there will always remain the question of whether without LSD they would have been so creative and imaginative. more
Rush
If only they had had a real singer, what a great band they would have been; unfortunately, Jedi Lee's voice is almost unbearable for me. more
John McTiernan -Die Hard-Duri a Morire
Third chapter of the "Die Hard" saga. McTiernan returns to directing, the same director of the excellent first chapter, and the result is a great action film, slightly inferior to "Die Hard" but definitely superior to the bland second chapter. The ironic and humorous component is strong, with good performances from Willis, Jackson, and Irons (who is better in many other films), and the special effects are fantastic. Overall, it’s a good film; McTiernan confirms his status as a master of the action movie. more
Marco Mengoni
Inconsiderable. more
The Who -Live At Leeds
There's no Who's Next, Tommy, or Quadrophenia that compares: this is by far the best album by the Who (complete double version) as well as one of the greatest live albums in the history of rock. more
Daft Punk -Discovery
Prefacing that I like Daft Punk... I would like to understand how you approach an album like this. I mean, practically 90% is taken word for word from disco funk songs of the 70s (arrangements included). This leaves me quite puzzled! Is it the allure of postmodernism? Or is it simply the most successful plagiarism in the history of humanity? more
Mina
The greatest and most versatile interpreter that Italy has ever had, her talents and her history are beyond question. more
Loredana Berté
Personalities like Loredana Bertè's will remain unique and unrepeatable, due to their history, depth, and interpretative ability. more
Daft Punk
If it weren't for their iconic helmets: an EMO and a stoner. But talented... cleverness and a lot of talent. The only question is: how many doubles do they use on their tours? (do you think it was really them at the Traffic Free Festival 2012 in Turin, huh!). more
The Byrds -Fifth Dimension
One of the masterpieces of Folk Rock. In some moments, the first effects of the future acid hangover can also be glimpsed ["I See You", "Eight Miles High"], which will become more present in Younger Than Yesterday and explode in The Notorious Byrd Brothers, my absolute favorite. more
The Groundhogs -Split
One step below Thank Christ..., but just one step. more
Richard Benson

If you feel like your ass is falling apart... maybe it's too many dicks... and those bad habits... more
