Fred Neil
As already mentioned by someone above, a great songwriter and master of Tim Buckley. In the Olympus. more
David Bowie
He hasn't invented anything, except for David Bowie and his music (and that's no small feat). The extraordinary thing is that he didn't limit himself to inventing just once; from the late 60s to today, he has changed countless times while always remaining true to himself, moving from beat to trip-hop. Forty years have been traversed by his androgynous smile, reminiscent of a millennia-old sphinx. more
Vinicio Capossela
Tom Waits is to Little Tony what Elvis Presley is to Little Tony. Among the parables and nonsense he tells, some (those invented by him) are pitiable, while others are brilliant because he has borrowed them, mostly from Tom Waits. Vinicio Capossela - Che coss'è l'amor

Luciano Ligabue
All in all, an honest craftsman until Alvise's birthday. Vasco in '90 took the "stage in front" and made a fool of himself. This other one since '97 has wrecked himself falling off the stage from constantly "going up and down." Cycles of history. more
Todd Rundgren
There are a lot of more prestigious people who would have needed to go to this guy to take songwriting lessons. But why are the best always the ones who leave? Ah… he’s not dead? Better this way! Anyway, if he had died today, he would be a legend; instead, not even death pays attention to him! more
Alanis Morissette
jagged little pill and especially supposed former infatuation junkie. Too bad it didn't stay at those levels. more
Chrome
A great wild-acid-apocalyptic mess more
Steve Hackett
Immense, vast, indefinable... there is no doubt he is one of the greatest granita tasters of all time. Images for Steve Hackett - Cured more
Shakira
Did you know that she now calls herself a fan of Merdallica because when she was a little girl she always sang Noffing Els Matters?? :D more
Steve Hackett
A great and skilled guitarist, among my favorites. His solos made history, as did the fact that he was the first to introduce the tapping technique in rock (see Nursery Cryme). He is probably the Genesis member who had one of the best solo careers in terms of quality (a step below the archangel Peter Gabriel). Perfect, at the right time in the right place... Firth Or Fifth teaches. more
Alanis Morissette
I just listened to her most famous album, Jagged Little Pill, for the first time, and... I have to say I was quite disappointed! Expecting to hear an album that is so critically acclaimed, I found myself confronted with Alanis's voice, which I think is on the verge of being irritating. What a shame, truly... more
Florence Foster Jenkins
A myth, too ahead of its time, has anticipated almost a hundred years of history: the non-talent that becomes art, the trash, the grotesque elevated to the rank of status symbol: Guns n' Roses, Katy Perry, and the Lecciso sisters owe a lot to this. more
Luciano Ligabue
His music is so harmonically complex that it feels too challenging for me, and even in the lyrics of his songs, there’s an overly intense metaphorization. I recognize that I have my limits, but I’ve never been able to appreciate him. more
Luciano Ligabue
This guy, when he goes to the bathroom, shoves a mold up his ass so that his turds all come out the same, always with the same, identical, reassuring shape, because the audience might be coprophilic, but if someday the licabovo were to turn, I don’t know, to house or latin-pop, he wouldn’t take it too well! more
Luciano Ligabue
Up to Miss World, I like it; I don’t find it bad. After that, let’s leave it alone... of course, we’re not talking about rock or any related genre. So, it would deserve a 1 for the latest projects, a 4 for what it did in the past, and a 5 for sentimental value. Average? A 3, just passing. Then Radiofreccia is a nice movie. more
Pino Daniele
He stopped making MUSIC in 1993: until 'Bonne soireè' it's inimitable! more
Ayrton Senna
5 stars or an excellent rating would be too little for a champion like him... 500 letters are not enough to recount the miracles of Ayrton! The best always leave us too soon. more
Federico Moccia
I give it 1 star because there's no lower rating. It's in cases like this that I would ask Debaser to add negative numbers.. more
David Bowie
There’s the New Wave, there’s the Old Wave... and there’s DAVID BOWIE. more
Jim Steinman
A tremendous songwriter, not underrated but ignored...a shame! more
