Edoardo Bennato
In the '70s and the first half of the '80s, he was an absolutely (and I emphasize absolutely) great singer-songwriter. He didn’t miss a beat; his albums from the late '80s are also very good. It doesn’t matter to me that he completely lost his inspiration afterward; the works from '73 to '85 were and remain among the greatest masterpieces produced by Italian music. more
Edoardo Bennato -I Buoni e i Cattivi
The most beautiful album by Bennato for me, a marvel of great rock'n'roll or singer-songwriter rock, however you want to put it, is one of the best Italian albums in the "genre." It's an album inspired from the first to the last song, sarcastic, mocking, and sharp in its lyrics, fun in its arrangements (the kazoo is amazing). And "Tira a campare" might just be his most beautiful song. more
Alice Cooper
Ben Stiller? Al Pacino? He looks more like Paolo Mengoli... more
Francesco Guccini -Metropolis
Oh, more structured arrangements do no harm to Guccio's lyrics. For me, this is a great album, well arranged and definitely inspired: masterpieces like Bisanzio, Lager, and Antenore are worth the price, with the two that are just a notch below these three, namely Venezia and Bologna. It's a pity about Black-out, which somewhat ruins the atmosphere that had been created, and Milano, which has an instrumental outro that clearly says, "let's stretch the length a bit." more
Lucio Dalla -Luna Matana
musical crap! Only "Domenico Sputo" and a bit of "Kamikaze" are worth saving. I'm giving it a 2 just for those, otherwise it would have been a 1. more
Pino Daniele -Musicante
the last gasp of the "genius" pino daniele, an immense album. the value would be 4.5, but I gladly give it the missing half point. more
Pino Daniele -Nero A Metà
5? "When it rains", "alleria", "I like the blues", "don’t bother me". Yes, 5. more
Pino Daniele -Bella 'Mbriana
if "terra mia" is the most Neapolitan, this is the most international. A spectacle, perhaps his greatest masterpiece. more
Pino Daniele -Terra mia
Among Daniele's early albums, this is the least original, still very connected to popular tradition, but incredibly inspired. A unique record in the Italian musical landscape. more
Richard Benson
MOOOOOOOOTHER TORTUREEEEEEE more
Fredric Brown
In my opinion, however, in that 0.59223301 of a page that was torn from the last page of that only story, there was the solution to all the mysteries... 🙁 more
Fredric Brown
The inimitable Fredric Brown, the absolute master of short and very short stories.
By performing the simple calculation (866/103), it turns out that on average each story is 8.40776699 pages long.
Therefore, reading CB1&CB2 is recommended for everyone, regardless of taste.
A little curiosity, his cat was named Ming Tah. more
Pino Daniele -Vai mo'
Here Uncle Pino is at the peak, and this represents the third consecutive masterpiece. Extraordinary, even in the super famous tracks like "Yes I Know My Way." "Viento 'e terra" the masterpiece of the album. 9 more
Area -Caution Radiation Area
4.8/5, it barely misses the maximum score. An absolutely fantastic album that unfolds in a crescendo, from the catchiest track to the most cacophonous. When it ends, it leaves you feeling both empty and filled with anger towards society, but also filled with so much joy for having experienced a piece of highly refined art. more
Carlos Puebla -Carlos Puebla
Among propaganda music, it is probably the one I listen to most frequently, both attentively and in the background. Sadly, it is remembered almost exclusively for "Hasta siempre," but that is not the only one; it’s good to dig into the rest. more
Paolo Conte -Aguaplano
Macosamidicimai? more
Pino Daniele -Iguana Café
Basically the same mechanics as the previous one and all the subsequent ones: a presumptuous record, infinitely below its capabilities and labeled as a high-level album. However, it is slightly less unbearable than "Passi d'autore," but just slightly. And there really wasn't any need for a cover of "It's Now or Never" (done like this, anyway...). more
edoardo bennato -le vie del rock sono infinite
Well, I’ve never been a fan of Bennato, but if I really have to choose, I’d go for Bennato from the 70s. I have this album; I’ve never listened to it, but honestly, I don’t think it will find a place among my greatest regrets, starting from the cover (terrifying). more
Niccolò Fabi -Ecco
I will certainly never let you go, here it is. more
