Underrated, in my opinion one of his best.. more
"In 2004, he received the Lunezia Award, 'for the poetic emotion of the album Che fantastica storia è la vita'." Sentence taken from Venditti's Wikipedia page. more
Unfortunately, he is one of those who navigated the transformation of the blues from a genre of "tears and blood" to a "salon" genre played by people in suits and ties. Anyway, 5 to the one from whom I take the "nick-name", 5 to the passionate singer, 5 to the refined guitarist, and finally 5 to the likability of the character. more
A polite little "mustache" Frenchman who has composed so much wonderful music with a crystalline melodism. more
Not a masterpiece, but something more. A manual. On how to write immortal songs and arrange them to PERFECTION. more
Well done, those who criticize Radiohead without reason do exactly this. more
Commercial and non-essential as they may be, at least they made one great album: "Desperado." Rating 8. Actually, one and a half albums. I also include the following underrated one, "On the Border," rating 7.5. They have, more or less, left their mark on the popular music of the 70s. I don't understand why so many people dislike them, especially in their homeland... more
I have always snubbed the Afterhours for a long time. After listening to Germi, I was left in the dust for a week. more
federico STRACAZZ! "astronaut" is heavily plagiarized from the specials, "cigno macigno" was in a compilation from the summer of 2001, let's say it was passable, "volere volare" with anna tatangelo doesn't make it fly at all, and its rating stays a solid 1. more
Always nice to be rocked by certain melodies 😌💤 more
Third absolute masterpiece in a row for Ivano, but for my personal taste, I slightly prefer "La pianta del tè" and "La disciplina della terra." Nevertheless, 40 minutes of pure poetry (as always, after all), especially "Notturno delle tre" and "Mio fratello che guardi il mondo." more
The title speaks for itself. ODOR DE CAGOTTO more
Among the candidates for the title of "greatest songwriter of the 20th century." And only God knows how much rock and "cursed" singer-songwriter tradition it has inspired... more
Thissss sooonngggg Iiii sing it to youuuuuu! more
But is there really anyone who has the courage to call it "classical music"? Unfortunately, DeBaser doesn't allow me to give a zero, so I'm forced to give it a generous one. more
Perhaps the professor's worst album. I would only save "Indiscreto" and a bit of the lyrics from the title track; the rest are either filler or leftovers from previous albums. The cover is truly horrible, especially when compared to the (wonderful) ones from the previous records. 1.5 rounded up to 2. more
Wandering here and there, I found a place where they were talking about this site. It seems there’s a Cabal of dark characters whose aim is to steer the dull-witted masses towards a goal. (Listening to garbage music?) The Guy went on for a page packed with accusations; apparently, getting out of this site is worse than leaving Scientology, and to that end, he teaches, in another half-page, how to do it without causing harm to things or people. I'm flabbergasted. I would like to know from you, old foxes who have been hanging around this site for a while, if there’s any truth to this. Who makes up the Cabal? Who are these influencers? And why do they exist? Thank you. (I hope I haven't fallen into a trap :))) more
I sold this CD the other day. Before shipping it, I listened to it.... I regretted selling it. more
I ran into him this morning at the café. He’s not exactly a beauty, with that hipster beard... but he was wearing a mask with the Florentine lily. At least from the muck, flowers grow. more
The cover is extraordinary; I bought it years ago on vinyl and CD almost just for that! The record is quite nice, but overall, nothing special. I definitely prefer Vecchioni 75-82. more
