Milva
The interpreter (Lady and Icon) par excellence. One who has filled theaters all over Europe, with elegance. Muse of Franco Battiato, she too. more
Antonello Venditti -Le cose della vita
probably is, right after "lilly", the ultimate masterpiece of the sanguine Venditti, fighter and "furious". the title track sends chills down your spine every time you listen to it, just like "il treno delle sette" or "le tue mani su di me". MASTERPIECE more
Povia
Done, rightly, outside of any mechanism and/or record label. more
franco e la repubblica dei mostri
Post-rock singer-songwriter more
Ivan Graziani -Agnese dolce Agnese
The peak together with the previous Pigro. Here we reach the height of his production (alongside Fango): Fuoco sulla collina is a masterpiece of immense storytelling, a beautifully sung nightmare and perfectly centered guitar riffs. If we don't count the others... Taglia la testa al gallo, Agnese, Fame, Il piede di San Raffaele, Dottor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, Modena park... not a single piece less powerful than the other, truly frightening! I've always preferred Pigro between the two, but this... is spectacular! Best tracks: Fuoco sulla collina, Taglia la testa al gallo, Agnese. more
Omar Pedrini
As a solo artist, he has tried multiple times to take the "big" leap (staying a rocker, yes, but also with one foot in the mainstream) with little success. Later on, when he realized he couldn’t make it (he's not as cool as Renga), he did everything to avoid fading away, thus maintaining a solid sense of human and artistic dignity. I respect him and listen to him a lot. Among other things, he is someone who fights every day, someone who gives meaning to life... and to the music he makes. more
Pino Daniele -Mascalzone Latino
The best album by Pino after "Ferryboat" is possibly rivaled only by the 1987 record. "Anna verrà" is truly wonderful, one of the last gems in the discography of the Neapolitan artist. 7.5 more
Morgan
A former singer and a former man. more
Pink Floyd
The sound. The only Progressive Rock band (one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest of all) with the gift of synthesis, abstract. more
Drupi
Ligabue Out of Target. more
Gianni Morandi
Actually, Off Target for at least 25 years. more
Umberto Tozzi
The only one in Italy capable of doing AOR without appearing grotesque and caricatural. more
Litfiba
They electrified and marked (and in part continue to do so) entire generations of rockers and pseudo-rockers. Yes, even the pseudos, those who actually only listened to 883. more
Biagio Antonacci
One who performs concerts in stadiums (yes, he plays stadiums too) wearing black rubber flip-flops from the stalls. The worst of his generation. more
Gino Paoli
A songwriter who blends life with tobacco. more
I cugini di campagna
They inspired Kiss. more
KISS
They remind me of Cugini di Campagna. more
Franco Califano
I don’t cry for someone who dies,
I haven’t even done it for a parent
Who, dying, taught me to think,
I don’t do it for another who dies.
I don’t cry when a war breaks out,
The courage of the heroes lying on the ground (...) more
The Beatles
The beginning of every modern and/or contemporary Rock formula (and not only). more
Andrea Mingardi
Italic soul. more
