Arctic Monkeys
Among the worst realities of the last decade and - unfortunately - of the current one. more
Blur
Britpop was a harsh blow for British alternative rock (especially for noise/shoegaze) and for music as a whole. Fortunately, Blur managed to prove their worth just as this dreadful musical trend came to an end. It's a real shame they broke up at the peak of their creative output. more

The most hated band by MadCat. more
Blur
Extraordinary and somewhat underrated band. They deserve Olympus at least for the 90s. A perfect expression of pop in all its facets, with few missteps in taste and rhythm. Instead, there are many worthy b-sides and hit singles, from the classics "Girls & Boys" and "Song 2" to the moving "Universal" and "Out Of Time," now classics. They didn't invent anything, but they fully realized their art. more
Triumvirat -Spartacus
The famous gladiators' rebellion set to music by a German trio shaped like the Nice. Despite a few little thefts at the expense of ELP (Trilogy, Brain Salad), the concept has a lively flair of its own. The Deadly Dream Of Freedom is a beautiful piano ballad with a memorable chorus. But the best comes with the powerful The March To The Eternal City (featuring the arabesques on Moog from the wild Italian Improvisation) and with A Broken Dream, the final clash with the Roman legions. more
Wings -Venus And Mars
Italian print from the '70s, bought at a summer market. Not in excellent condition but not in shambles either. more
Club Dogo
An excellent start (Sacre Scuole, Mi Fist, Penna Capitale). After that, just more and more show-off - the real plague of rap. Every now and then, they still manage to slip in a good song among all that crap on dance beats. more
Club Dogo
Sad imitators of the commercial gangsta hip hop from across the ocean more
Everything But The Girl -Eden
Having taken possession of their budget kitchen, the Thorn/Watt couple pulls out bossa nova, guitar-pop, smooth jazz, and a sprinkle of Canterbury melancholy from their shopping bags for their first intimate dinner. An unparalleled British Love Affair of the mid-'80s. more
