Very interesting. I might just go give it a listen. Actually, no, I’ve changed my mind. more

Few, those who debuted so high. Those who are moved by listening to this record are my friends. more
IU
For those who wish to delve into the plastic world of South Korean pop, here’s a young artist who is currently making waves among the youth audiences in Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. Not to mention among her fellow countrymen, of course. With a sugary offering of adolescent dance tracks and Disney Channel-style ballads, she has earned the title of "singer of the nation." Any commentary on the music is deliberately omitted. more
Neil Young -Rust Never Sleeps
It starts with an acoustic guitar and ends up at grunge, in fact. Beyond the weight of an album that weighs TONS on the history of Rock as a whole, there's the emotion of the first listen that will never come back, when you hadn't yet read credits or reviews and you didn't know that that beginning would correspond to that end. And you felt the sound change, evolve, grow darker piece by piece, minute by minute... OUT OF THE BLUE AND INTO THE BLACK. more
Adolf Hitler
"The year 1941 will be, I am convinced, the historic year for a great NEW EUROPEAN ORDER" (Cit. Mein Kampf by A. Hitler)... I believe I have said it all. MASS MANIPULATION = PROBLEM-SOLUTION-REACTION. more
Rino Gaetano
Just today, my mom, knowing that I go crazy for Rino Gaetano, gifted me his greatest hits. My mom also knows that I lose it when the subject of the disgraceful fiction dedicated to him by Rai comes up. Well, the greatest hits is produced by Rai Trade. I put the CD on, and suddenly I stop thinking about it. On the other hand, moms are never ill-intentioned. more
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
80
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
