Camel
In the world of prog, they are the exact opposite of Emerson Lake & Palmer: the histrionic trio made the most of a few ideas, stretching them to the unbelievable, resulting in dullness and repetition but with plenty of "staging" to distract. The Camel are the opposite, full of musical ideas even within the same piece, but ultimately not very "clever." They share dreamy atmospheres with the Canterbury scene, but manage to explore other musical territories! more
Sade -Lovers Rock
Nice, not outstanding but enjoyable for a dinner. more
Supertramp
The band founded by Donald in his youth. more
Mano Negra
One of the few bands for which a reunion would really make sense. At least someone from the group could remind Manu Chao that he’s also a great artist when he wants to. more
Manu Chao
5 for the entire Mano Negra period, 5 for the live performances, 4 for the first solo album and the album entirely in French, 1 for everything else. more
Baustelle
When I listen to them, they make me want to join Forza Nuova. There’s something worse, though: Veronica and Charlie go surf are two nice pop pieces. more
The Smiths -The Queen Is Dead
One of the best albums from the 60s to today. more

Mauro Pagani -Passa la bellezza
Beautiful album, unfortunately a bit forgotten. Some songs are definitely above average, including "Davvero davvero," featuring Fabrizio De André, and "La neve de Natale." more

Fabrizio De André
The greatest. more
Amedeo Minghi
P.S.: Minghi does NOT like to be called maestro; he has said several times that he doesn't like it and that it all started with Baudo (and, after him, everyone copied that).
Anyway.
Until 1990, Minghi composed and arranged pop songs with a certain skill. Some lesser-known songs from that time are worth rediscovering (e.g., Rem, Telecomunicazioni Sentimentali, Sognami, Di Più, Flashback). Then he lost his way. Once he was established in the mainstream, he often settled into the comfort zone tracks for housewives. more
