Mahmood
An excellent example for a melancholic analysis: while accepting the fact that behind all this there is a well-defined commercial (artistic??) operation, the reality that in Italy, his style/genre, call it what you will, is all the rage makes me realize that Italian music is truly FINISHED (and I'm not talking about roots, colors... In Blues We Trust for life). At least in terms of mainstream, we are at the end of the line. "I hope the era of the White Boar returns soon." more
Albano Carrisi
It doesn't matter what shit music he makes; for Vincenzo Mollica, every one of his records will be a "fresh, original, in great shape" work. more
Zero assoluto
A name, a guarantee. more
Vasco Rossi -...Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone...
Great debut album, in my opinion, too often overlooked. It's in my collection in a super-deluxe box set dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the record. more

At 7 years old, I saw them as metalheads... now as you crazy Pugliese guys. more

Debaser

Paola Turci
Beyond musical tastes, a woman with guts, both because of her background and her spontaneity in sharing her "wounds," without descending into the talent-show bullshit. more
Ozzy Osbourne
Elton John, today, seems to me less polished. more
Zucchero
The only one in Italy who, without romanticism, has understood/admitted that making music is not just "waiting for inspiration under the stars, or in front of the sea." Making music is also about "making shop" with the right means. Citing influences (like all the most important international rock bands: Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, among others), traditionalist, clever (very) and with a taste above average. Unlike some of his colleagues, after over 30 years of career, he produces ALBUMS PLAYED divinely, by the best musicians in the world. Exquisite voice, interpretative intensity through the roof and albums that are, almost always, legendary; for one reason or another. more
