Yoko Ono
If 90% of the singer-songwriters from her country had had a fraction of her resources and visibility, nobody would be talking about them today. Don't be fooled, Japan is not like this. In fact, to be precise: talent is not like this. more
Sam Gopal -Escalator
The very essence of the Underground - a word that should never be uttered by anyone who has never experienced the listening of such stuff. more
JOHN LENNON -WALLS AND BRIDGES
The most underestimated album of a discography that is too often overrated for reasons that are not purely musical. But myth or no myth, Lennon or no Lennon, it's impossible not to be moved by "#9 Dream" or "Old Dirt Road," and not to acknowledge the dizzying heights of "Steel & Glass," "Bless You," "Nobody Loves You." Unfortunately, not the entire duration of the album flows at the same levels. more
Rammstein -Reise, Reise
The album that introduced me to Rammstein (yes, I'm late, considering I'm over forty). The title track is epic, heavy, and very industrial (not in the genre sense, but in the atmospheric sense. Those who said that R's music makes you feel like you're in a steel mill, dirty and sweaty, hammering something are right). Also nice is the rock-pop sounding Moskau. more
Love
is all, Love is you. (Lennon in "Because") more
Wallis Bird
It looks like a punkabbestia, but when it comes to feeling and passion, it kicks the ass of its more polished colleagues. more
Franco & Ciccio
How much you will make us laugh in Heaven! more
Sex
With Love = 10; Without Love = 0. Average = 5. more
Genesis
I prefer the Vangelus. more
Unsane -Unsane
Today I've turned back the clock by 15 years. Just filthy rotten noise... fuck the rest. Ah, of course, this is for me a hell of a record, really a hell of a record. more
Chris Squire
a three-neck bass... I've said it all more
Shakira
Shokina. more
Iron Butterfly
the missing link between Doors and Deep Purple more
Mika
he was a true idol for me... everyone was drooling over Ferrari and I was almost yelling "go McLaren, go Hakkinen!!" scandalizing everyone in the family a bit... ah, I was nine years old... more
Fabio Volo
met in NY in the Lower East Side, in the boutique (ugh!) that replaced the legendary CBGB's... I thought it would be smaller. more
Mika
Finnish phenomenon. I will never forget Spa 2000. more
Rubens
As a second, much better than Massa, certainly more likeable. more
Montoya
2003 and then the anonymity. more
