Antonello Venditti -Le cose della vita
Ditta
The album that introduced me to Antonello, and that I am absolutely most attached to, is this one. A wonderfully sparse and raw album, with indelible gems like the incredibly tough "Mio padre ha un buco in gola," the powerful "Brucia Roma," the heart-wrenching title track, or the stunning "Le tue mani su di me." Oh, and then we also find a new version of "E li ponti so' soli," this time played only with the organ, which really enhances it. Great album. more

5 up to "Arctic Antarctic", 2 (sometimes also 1) for everything that comes after. Average 3.5 more

Roberto Vecchioni | DeRank™: 0,31

It reached absolute peaks in the second half of the '70s, albums like "Ipertensione," "Elisir," "Samarcanda," or "Calabuig" are true masterpieces. After "Il Grande Sogno" in 1984, it started to wobble a bit with some albums that were somewhat lackluster (and I don't give it 5 stars just for these), only to make a nearly complete comeback in the early '90s. more

I don't know... it must be my limit, but I've always found it unbearable, even in its best works like "Oltre" or "Io sono qui," which have been highly praised to me... anyway, 2 stars because there's worse out there, muuuch worse. more

Ivan Graziani — Viaggi E Intemperie | DeRank™: 1,01

Good album, but not among Ivan's best. However, it includes what is likely one of his top 5 pieces, namely the wonderful "Firenze (canzone triste)." Almost 4. more

Franco Battiato — Apriti sesamo | DeRank™: 0,00

Having recently listened to it again, I reevaluated it. I find it an excellent album, definitely his best since 2004. In terms of quality, we are more or less on the same level as "Dieci stratagemmi" and "L'imboscata", between 4 and 4.5. more

Great up to "Ivan Graziani" from 1983. Subsequently expired, but still remains dignified. more

Lucio Battisti — E Già | DeRank™: 0,48

Transition disk. It’s the only one of his that doesn’t reach a pass, but it still stands out as better than a lot of crap that’s currently out there. Average 2.5 more

Good things until 2000, then total collapse. Nonetheless, it deserves a pass; "La Fabbrica Di Plastica" and "Campi Di Popcorn" are two nearly perfect works. more

If you're referring to the Radius group, since there's already a dedicated entry for the three tenorini, my vote is 4 stars for the experience they've had and for the intrinsic value of the members. Just 2 records, but what records! more

On January 6, I had a marathon of 37 songs, just like the year I was born. 5 stars without a doubt; I didn't give them to Jannacci because, in my opinion, Conte is worth a bit more. La Fisarmonica di Stradella, Gli impermeabili, and even the latest stuff are truly excellent. more

Litfiba — Infinito | DeRank™: 0,00

But are we kidding? Is this really the same band that released albums like "Desaparecido," "17 re," or "Litfiba 3" in the eighties? One of the biggest travesties in the history of WORLD music; something that makes "Mondi sommersi" from two years before look like a masterpiece. Disgraceful! more
