Pino Daniele
Until "Musicante" in 1984, truly a giant. It's just a shame about what came after.. more
Antonello Venditti
It’s hard to believe that the author of the wonderful "Canzone Per Seveso" is the same as the horrifying "Prendilo Tu Questo Frutto Amaro." His last decent album, for me, was "Cuore" from 1984. After that, a few scattered decent songs until the late '80s (3/4... nothing more) leading to the total disaster of the constant copy and paste of his own tracks. A progressive disaster that continues to this day. What a shame, in the '70s he was truly great; he could have been a leading songwriter in Italy and instead... more
Franco Battiato
I only criticize the experiments of the second half of the '70s ("Battiato", "Juke-Box", "L'Egitto Prima Delle Sabbie"... in short...). For the rest, everything is of high quality. more
Vasco Rossi
I almost completely stopped listening to him starting in the early 2000s. For me, his last decent album was "Gli Spari Sopra" from 1993, although not all the songs. Today he is unbearable! more
Edoardo Bennato
One of the greatest and most brilliant Italian artists of the '70s. Unfortunately deceased and buried after 1983, what you see today is no longer him. more
Ivano Fossati
In the '70s, a good artist, but nothing thrilling yet. Starting from "Le Città Di Frontiera" in 1983, his poetic vision began to establish itself more and more, culminating in the extraordinary "La Pianta Del Tè" in 1988, the pinnacle of his entire discography and the opening album of a series of wonderful works. It's also worth noting that he was, among his peers, the only one who understood when (and how) to step back. This is what it means to be a great artist. more
Francesco De Gregori
He hasn't missed a single number, giant. Anyway, for me, his best are "Alice Non Lo Sa" from '73 and "Bufalo Bill" from '76. more
Lucio Dalla
I would give top marks until 1984. Afterwards, with the exception of a few scattered good/excellent songs, a gradual artistic decline. more
Squallor
After the Bitols, the Pin Floid, and Orietta Berti, the Squallor were born.

Litfiba -17 Re
Well, I’d say it’s pointless to say things like “it’s the best album by Litfiba” or “masterpiece!!!” because too many have said that already. I’ll just say that it’s not all roses and flowers: "Come un Dio" has the worst arrangement on the album (the live version from 12-5-87 is definitely better), "Cane" has always felt too chaotic to me, and the album as a whole leaves you tired... but satisfied; it’s not 66 minutes thrown down the toilet. Inside, there are some amazing tracks arranged in an incredible way (I think "Pierrot e la luna" is the best example to describe the essence of the album). Those who haven’t listened to it should give it a try; it’s worth it. more
Francesco De Gregori -De Gregori
If it weren't for the last three tracks, it would have been just a good album, with excellent pieces like Generale, good pieces like Renoir or il 56, and some rather simplistic ones like Natale. Instead, thanks to the bitterness of La campana, the joy of Raggio di sole, and the evocative images of Due zingari, this album leaps into the realm of masterpieces. So, after all this, I call upon you @gino, enlighten me. more
Bugo -Sguardo Contemporaneo
I have a contemporary gaze. But I don't have the ggell. more
