Magma
The most shocking alternative to the standards of British Prog. A historic formation, unattainable for originality and artistic proposal, while simultaneously unclassifiable. The epic saga of an imaginary space civilization translated into music in the forms of a Coltrane-like avant-garde and terrifyingly experimental, with hints of Euro-classicism and Eastern European folk music. Furious and devastating instrumental mastery, extreme improvisation, and polyrhythmicity. A journey into the unknown. more
Robert Wyatt
A champion and the highest interpreter of Canterburian aesthetics. Before the accident, a fanciful and unpredictable drummer. A unique and unmistakable vocal timbre, melancholic, dolorous, "the saddest voice in the world" according to the English critics. A professional Dadaist and a convinced devotee of a very personal ideal of "music of the absurd." A spokesperson for an art that is "different," whimsical, elusive, and an enemy of labels and conventions of any kind. Pure madness of creativity. more
Focus
A good formation of "prog-like" pop, at times overly inclined towards pop in catchy and conventional choruses, as well as in the repetitive use of certain instrumental solutions and in a sound too heavily leaning on the flute. At first glance, their albums seem to lack nothing: acoustic ballads, classical temptations, and various virtuosos; but there’s little personality, little soul; among the Dutch, Supersister is truly from another planet. Pleasant at times, but nothing more. more
Fëdor Michajlovic Dostoevskij
One of the greatest geniuses of literature of all time! Thank you, Fedor!!! more
King Crimson
The quintessential group of British Prog. Equidistant from the dreamlike symphony of Genesis and the glittering virtuosity of Yes, they represent the best that the English scene of those years has produced. An immeasurable career in terms of greatness and spirit of exploration, and three great masterpieces: In The Court Of The Crimson King, Lark's Tongues In Aspic, and Discipline, all indicative, in their own way, of equally significant historical transitions. Unreachable. more
Bob Seger
Turn the page... the cover of Metallica more
Burnin Red Ivanhoe
Among the most original and innovative formations of European progressive (and also one of the most underrated). Jazz-prog in a vague Colosseum style mixed with a taste for exoticism and a calibrated and measured approach to improvisation. The distinctive features of this little-known Danish band are the sax-flute overlaps and the extreme clarity of the rhythm section. The self-titled album from 1970 and W.W.W. from 1971 are small gems of a sound recognizable at first listen. more
Dio
They called him Trinity. more
Magellan
Eclectic but not very calculated! And there would be a long list of names fitting this definition! more
Modà
Every now and then, the system picks a group to annoy people day and night... well, it's their moment! more
Bob Seger
In Italy, obviously no one cares about it, while in America it has always been praised! I wonder why... more
Dio
Read and assimilated, then? more
Dio
Read Dante! Read Manzoni! Learn goats! more
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix. What else? more
Krokus
Put on "Headhunter", start that bomb of a title track, and you'll see that they don’t have much in common with AC/DC. more
Avenged Sevenfold
Useless and harmful more
Krokus
Well, there is indeed some similarity to AC/DC, but they still manage to have their own style! Exceptional band! more
Dio
of course it doesn't exist, but if it did, it would have to give me a lot of explanations! more
Dio
I ask you only one thing, my friend: let me go out with the redhead. Please. Then I will love you again like in the old days, I will light candles in church and all the rest. more
