Malcolm McDowell
One single great role, stitched onto him in an indelible way, performed in a stellar manner. In the guise of a character that is a part of cinema history, with one of the most intense, brilliant, shocking, and convincing performances ever; a single colossal role to rightfully earn a place in history, and a special one at that. Unforgettable. more
Robert Redford
A great actor, perhaps a tad overrated, but a great actor nonetheless. more
Buster Keaton
With the "rival" Chaplin, the absolute icon of silent cinema. Fundamental and seminal. more
Charlie Chaplin
There is little to define here, just observe. more
Marlon Brando & Jean Simmons
Very little to say about Marlon Brando: one of the greatest actors of all time, period. The greatest actor of the '50s and '60s, and the irony is that his most beautiful performances might actually be those from the '70s (The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, both by Coppola). After that, there was a slow decline, but who cares, for him it was thirty years at the highest possible levels. An extraordinary, legendary, unforgettable actor. Absolutely immense, often perfect. more
Rage Against the Machine
I don't care that they're communists, sellouts, hypocrites, etc. They rock. more
Meshuggah
Very big! more
Fred Frith
Avant-garde poet, sovereign of noise. In one word: terrorist. more
Muddy Waters
May the damned I'M A MAN spit in your face and kick you in the ass... BBAstards! more
Sex Pistols
for better or for worse, historians more
Sex Pistols
Real shit. No future for them. more
Ramones
There's not much to understand about the Ramones: they entertain you for half an hour and then it's just a drag; still better than the Sex Pistols, even though a record of burps and farts is better than the Sex Pistols too. more
Hanson
but do you remember them??? and they had also sold a ton with the single mmmbop! ahahah more
Franco Battiato
The best Italian artist of the last fifty years, there’s no argument about that. At the top are "Pollution," "Sulle Corde Di Aries," and "La Voce Del Padrone." Even in the less interesting tests, he has never produced populist or simplistic stuff. more
High Tide
Very good, a powerful psychedelic progressive rock, even though there's no trace of metal in their few works. Strong distortion alone is not enough to slip into metal, fortunately. more
T2
To blend Crimsonian melodies with Hendrixian fervor, to be rediscovered once and for all. more
Ramones
Those who don’t understand the Ramones are as idiotic as the Ramones themselves. more
Nine Inch Nails
I really tried, I swear. First with The Downward Spiral, then, disappointed, I resorted to Pretty Hate Machine... I couldn’t do it, I just can’t digest them. They don’t convey any emotions to me. more
Ramones
emblem of shit more
