Marco Sabiu
His participation in Sanremo is tainted by a plagiarism case: he claims to have composed the musical break of the Festival, while he had clearly copied the song "Hoppípolla" by the Icelandic group Sigur Rós. After being publicly praised by Antonella Clerici as the creator of the "Sinfonia Sabiu 7," the director had to admit his homage to Sigur Rós before being engulfed by the scandal (Wikipedia). more

A few names, just for your reference: Dread Follus, Anthem unicam, Robert Usher, Implicit Dog, Foreign Fart, Dull & Fashinating, Did you poop?, Joshua Awesome, Aisha ingram, Mars Discover, Great Day, Who's dead, Clark Kent's Gay, Joshua Redman, UncleScroggle etc... etc... and off you go, everyone study! more

The mere fact that "Closer" by Joy Division was released in '80 makes the decade great. I wouldn’t forget Gun Club, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Jesus & Mary Chain, the early MBV, Psychedelic Furs, Smiths, Birthday Party, Swans, Metallica, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Candlemass, Death, Negazione, Black Flag, and who knows how many others! But we mustn't forget that it was also the decade of discotheques, paninari, Duran Duran, Madonna, and MTV. I'll give it a Four. more
Bran Van 3000
notable, even though they have always remained in the shadows (Drinkin' in L.A. excluded). more
Beppe Grillo
With the M5S, he is getting tangled in something larger than himself, and, let's be honest, he wouldn't know how to manage it if it became a reality. Besides the fact that he is losing credibility. more

I was too little, but I started in the second half of this decade to become passionate about music. Too bad I only listened to Depeche Mode (which I still listen to), Duran Duran, Human League, Visage, etc. But damn, a couple of years later I found out that the '80s, beneath that plastic veneer, were filled with huge bands (Minutemen, Husker Du, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Joy Division, Big Black, Einstürzende, Nick Cave, etc. etc. etc.). more

If we take away Madonna, Boy George, and a few other sideshow phenomena... Back then, even in pop, you could find sophisticated stuff or at least well-made things! Not like today! more
Layne Staley
The voice that came from the afterlife. I will never forget that cold evening in 1993 at the Rolling Stone, Milan.. May the earth rest lightly upon you. more
Sid Vicious
Idol of a lifetime for my desk partner who would get pissed off when you mentioned Sid... "You don’t understand shit, HE died for US, for ALL OF US..." - "Yes, that phrase isn’t new to me, actually, but I believe the subject was someone else..." more
Bruce Leek
From a miserable, poor martial arts practitioner, so much admiration for this person who indeed kicked ass, a supreme skill. I can't say anything about the actor or the films (which were, after all, a display of his talent as a martial artist); they're mostly good. more

I had forgotten to ask, who is this person? But given the current situation, I’ll play it safe with my vote. more

Sid Vicious
Aside from his complete inability to play, he acted all rebellious but was just a weak person being manipulated by Spungen. more
Layne Staley
the greatest rock singer of the '90s more
Dave Lombardo
Great musician for having created a new drumming approach and for having influenced thousands of drummers, but technically there are MANY BETTER, just mentioning his '90s replacement Paul Bostaph. However, a solid 5 to Mr. Lombardo for having made a significant contribution to extreme metal. more
Cliff Burton
A good musician and nothing more, he is considered "the best in the universe" only because he is dead and because he was the bassist during the golden age of Metallica. more
ICS
Well, to be honest, it's slightly getting on my nerves. But at least in its idiocy, it's original. more

ICS? Ah, Hicks, the badass comedian who stripped America bare. It's just a ride. more
