Of course, my vote doesn’t go to the mummy that appears in the video for "Mai più da soli" or things like that, but to the TRUE Renato Zero, that is, the one from the period 1973-1983. "Invenzioni" and "Trapezio" are his two peaks. Nowadays, it makes me sad just to look at him. more
The most beautiful album by Renatone (it's a close call with "Invenzioni"), there isn't a single mediocre track. "Un uomo da bruciare," "Hanno arrestato Paperino," and "Il caos" are the best of the bunch. more
When the astronaut meets the creator of perfect sound worlds, a masterpiece emerges. more
As far as I'm concerned, the leading figure of recent Italian singer-songwriters. more
If I have personally managed to reassess, at least in part, the two previous albums, this one is already becoming one of the most crude and unbearable, although it still has some remnants of the best Vasco ("Quanti anni hai", "Laura"). The album as a whole would deserve a 1, but I raise it by just one point for the aforementioned tracks. more
What the fuck definition had I written? Anyway, I'll fix it right away: sentimental, unbearable him and his character, half of his songs will be saved throughout the discography. Baglioni from "Questo piccolo grande amore" was, in comparison, De André. more
Good job. Perhaps overrated, but good job. There's much worse. more
An author often criticized for being too commercial or too politically biased, for me he is a multifaceted writer who has always said what he wants. I would have given him 3 stars, but after listening to his latest work *La terra sotto i piedi*, I reevaluate him just slightly. more
The best out there in Italy. The special horoscope, Caramella smog, L'aldiquà (and now also Cinema Samuele) three (four) gems. At the beginning, it was still quite immature... but few know how to write a song like Chicco e Spillo at just 21 years old. more
The bad intentions, the rudeness, your embarrassing behavior from last night, your ingratitude, your arrogance—do whatever you want while stepping on others. Certainly, disorder is a form of art, but all you know how to do is cultivate envy. Thank heaven you're on this stage; respect those who brought you in, but that’s just me... more
Let's say that during the period from "What do you want a song to be" to "Some say no," it did something good. Then, a few ups and downs until 1996, but after "No danger.. for you," it declined into the worst form of mass idol. more
..well, I've never really tolerated it much.. maybe 3 or 4 songs here and there are salvable (and anyway, I'd gladly do without those too). more
"I say to myself it was better to part ways than to have never met at all." more
Someone who loves his car. more
"Here where the sea shines and the wind blows strong" already in these first words of the song I fell in love... and I fell madly in love, so much so that I listen to it every morning since then, with a good coffee right in front of the sea, it's my good morning, always. more
Just for "Whole Lotta Love," just to mention one, masterpiece of masterpieces, every human being should own or have listened to this record at least once. more
In its genre, I don’t listen to much, but he, I believe, will undoubtedly be number one. more
Known primarily for "The Exorcist," which is a great film, but I prefer him in his ventures into the crime-thriller genre. Who else can create films like "The Wages of Fear," "The French Connection," "Cruising," "Killer Joe," and especially his masterpiece "To Live and Die in L.A."? A wizard of chases and action scenes, but I admire him for his prevailing pessimism and desperate characters. more
One of the greatest and most original artists of Italian song. It's a pity about the last period being somewhat banal, but albums like "L'era del cinghiale bianco," "Caffè de la paix," "Patriots," "Fetus," "Pollution," "La voce del padrone," and many more guarantee him a solid five. more
Quite simple, rather too much so. more
