Precariato
Topic better addressed elsewhere more
Chicco e spillo
Fairly useless, but as an arrangement, it works well. more
Rivoluzione
Original but not too much, it could have developed better. more
Direttore
It works quite well, the atmospheres are those of The Death of Miracles. Stuff by Frankie. more
Pugni in tasca
Nice piece, it only lacks a rather mediocre chorus. more
Deep Purple -A Band On
Not an album like the early ones, but I enjoy listening to it quite often. New sounds. more
Pink Floyd -The Wall
an album that makes me dream more
Depeche Mode
one of my favorite bands more
Un Ragazzo Di Strada
beautiful piece more
Lucio Dalla -Bugie
Unfortunately, we are at the beginning of the decline here. Some shadow of the giant Dalla still exists, and overall it's not a terrible album, but the inspiration is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the most famous single (of course "Se io fossi un angelo") turns out to be the least successful. 5.5/6 more
Claudio Baglioni
The first four albums were pathetic. Then from 1974 (the year of "E tu..") he starts producing interesting stuff, but his golden period will begin with "Strada facendo" (81) and will last until "Io sono qui" (95). A great quartet that will find the peak of its discography in "Oltre" (90). After 1995, essentially useless. more
James LaBrie
For my tastes, a bit too bland, but it definitely has the voice. more
Lucio Dalla -Q-Disc
Great album, perhaps underrated due to the immense commercial success of the '77-'80 trilogy. However, one must not forget that it contains a gem: "Telefonami tra vent'anni." But the other three tracks on the album are also quite good, including the cover of "You've Got a Friend" by Carole King. more
Pecorella
Yes, yes, I would even give half a star less...heavy drop in inspiration. Considering that between '77 and '80 he produced 3 masterpieces and between 1980 and '83 (apart from "telefonami tra 20 anni") there's half a "ciofeca" (excluding the title track). Not only is the inspiration absent, but also the sound... more
Zucchero
My rating is an average between the 4 it deserves up until 2001 and the single star it has deserved for about fifteen years. "Blue's," "Oro.." and "Spirito DiVino" are three wonderful albums. Nowadays, it’s unbearable. more
Antonello Venditti
In my opinion, it really peaks with "Sotto la pioggia" ('82). Then, starting from "Cuore" ('84), there’s a clear change in sound; we find a more commercial Antonello, less focused on social protest but still possessing great creativity. A similar discussion can be made for "Venditti e segreti" ('86) and "In questo mondo di ladri" ('88): two albums that are quite similar to each other, a bit less inspired than the previous ones but still original and spontaneous. However, it’s better to steer clear of the 90s; the albums are on the verge of terrible. The worst downward spiral of Italian singer-songwriter music (competing with Bennato). What a pity. more
Francesco De Gregori
One of the very few who has remained true to himself, never even a dip in quality... simply a great. more
Pecorella
Pleasant, but nothing special. more
