Franco Battiato
Beware of those who say it’s boring, who can’t sing, who can’t play, who make incomprehensible lyrics. It’s simply them who understand nothing. more
Giorgio Gaber
What if he were God? more
Alberto Radius
Legendary as his Hamer. more
Spice Girls
Always better than the iu ciu more
Pino Scotto
Someone who got played by J-Ax (when no one cared about him, he made him believe he was alternative). more
ABBA
Millions and millions of records sold can’t be wrong. more
Lucio Dalla
The story of Dalla, who artistically died back in the '90s, has never convinced me. For better or worse, even in the 2000s, listening to him, I have always ''seen'' (heard) a blonde giant with a ''beastly physique,'' musically standing 2 meters tall without shoes. more
The Cure
Elevated to ''School'' more
Giorgia
The story of the "super voice" has grown tiring (Giuno Russo?, Antonella Ruggiero?)... Giorgia: a couple of good songs, but it's not enough. As the good Vasco (whom I don't admire) used to say, speaking in general: a singer can have the gift of voice, can have a great band, etc., but none of that means anything when... in reality, they lack songs. more
Anna Tatangelo
Do you not smell this scent of iodine? more
Mango
One of the few Italian singers who has not drawn inspiration from any international author older than HIM. Basically, whether you like it or not, he is original, an authentic troubadour (who, throughout his career, has always minded his own business, sometimes facing the consequences). more
Anna Tatangelo
After witnessing the rise of Alessandra Amoroso and Co., I began to appreciate her as an organist. more
Jovanotti
Someone who has transformed, at their convenience, improvisation (not intended as musical improvisation) and the lack of a specific gift into a brand (for the masses, declaring to have attended one of their concerts is like claiming to be in the know), all while pulling out some fitting lyrics and collaborating with the right people. Obviously, they are not a zero in the "artist" category, but neither are they a true artist. A circus in the form of a man that has been functioning for over 30 years. If for Christmas you gift someone (someone who doesn’t know Benessum by Andrea Mingardi, basically almost everyone) a CD of theirs, in 99% of the cases you’ve hit the mark. more
Angelo Branduardi
Master Angelo Branduardi: the only singer-songwriter, musician, and composer from Italy who is incapable of aging; as a young man, he has never been, as he has always been magically ''ancient''. more
Thegiornalisti
They entice into alcoholism more
Mango
Dignified more
Thegiornalisti
The only band, that ever existed, which gave an opportunity to a singer, the emblem of a lack of talent, to declare a solo career. more
883
Cult almost as much as Cristina D'Avena. Hating them is not educational. more
Paolo Meneguzzi
Tiziano Ferro, already in 2003, seemed like an exceptional singer-songwriter in comparison. That says a lot. more
Povia
Only his far-sighted definitions and reviews by federicolaurent/trentavoltemegl will remain. more
