Riccardo Cocciante
I was only interested until 1975, with the first four albums ("Mu", "Poesia", "Anima", and "L'alba"). After that, too much honey and too much sugar. Although I don't dispute the musician. more
Claudio Lolli -Il grande freddo
Last album before death recorded with some musicians from the Bologna collective. Claudio's voice is "suffering" but the CD is a masterpiece. Arrangements worthy of the happy gypsies. more

Enzo Jannacci -Parlare con i limoni
One of the less beautiful ones by Enzo, but anything below 4 isn't worth it. more
Leonard Cohen
I completely agree with you. soooo sexy! Even in his older years, when he had that voice that would knock you out. I'm straight too and I appreciate it.:)) more
Antonello Venditti -Sotto Il Segno Dei Pesci
Among Antonello's absolute best albums, even if it appears slightly different from the previous ones. The arrangements are truly refined, and musically speaking, it has reached one of the highest points of his career; out of the trilogy 78-82, it is undoubtedly the best. And while the previous ones were equally poetic and probably a bit angrier, this one, in my opinion, is "THE" AV album (without taking anything away from the rest). Average 4.5, which I round up to 5. more
Johann Sebastian Bach
Mass in B minor, Passion according to Matthew and other trifles. more
Ivan Cattaneo
A path similar to Alberto Camerini: three alternative albums with Ultima Spiaggia from 1975 to 1979, then the commercial phase with CGD from 1980 to 1986, and then the rest as an independent artist, three albums post-1986 just like Alberto. Ivan released in 1992, in 2005, and in 2010. For now, I give it three and a half stars, but maybe after listening to it better, it will reach a full four stars. more
Buddy Guy & Junior Wells
What can I say? Here we should use absolute superlatives for both. But they don't express what these two exhibitionist fanatics—rightly—of their perfection make me feel. These two who know how to dig deep inside you and then leave you hanging when the song is over. more
Santana
An unconventional old uncle. black magic woman, smooth great guitar more
Led Zeppelin

Antonello Venditti
Aesthetically, it’s quite repulsive (a union between Berlusconi and the Sardinian porchettaro from Follonica, so not very pretty), and for the music, it's either extremely high or low enough to make your ears drop. 5 up to 78, between 3 and 4 up to 83, 3 up to 88, 1 up to now. I don’t even know what the final grade will be. more
Aerosmith
The Rolling Stones posts, for better or for worse more
Lucio Dalla
Nothing, I had already defined it, absent-minded that I am more
Claudio Rocchi
Among the most valid and alternative voices of Italian music. At least 4 stars. The three magical flights are three masterpieces, especially the first two, and then he wrote one of the most beautiful songs ever, "la realtà non esiste." Next year, on January 8th, for the 70th anniversary of his birth, I will pay tribute to him with a marathon. more
Ivano Fossati -La Mia Banda Suona il Rock
The path we've taken is the right one. Now all we have to do is wait.. more
Debaser
As a music review site, it's a flop, but as a container of human stories, it's the best. more
Anthrax
A great thrash band. The trash color of Belladonna is also excellent. more
Franco Battiato -Orizzonti perduti
Wonderful texts, but it's an album without bass, drums, and guitars. Luigi Tonet, at a certain point, inflates them for you. more
Franco Battiato -L'arca di Noè
Other experiments with the return of synthesizers... but Donnarumma, Radius, and Golino are holding strong. more
