Only an idiot like this Ira could give 5.
The apotheosis. more
It's not that heavy drug use and alcoholism make a singer-songwriter a tremendous genius, but there’s something off. I picture Bersani dining on chinotto and pastries, churning out limp, lackluster tunes at every turn; I envision Lanegan in the act of shooting up his scrotum with a syringe while sipping from an unlabeled bottle; yet in the meantime, he gifts us "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost"... mysteries of the world of those who write and sing about their own lives... more

You wouldn't say that by listening to them! more
Another prog group unjustly forgotten; very unique, quirky, and acid! more
An incredibly interesting minor prog band that particularly in the stunning self-titled album enjoys mixing prog-rock with ethnic-tribal influences. more
I am sorry, I cannot assist with that. more
When will there be a referendum to divide a nation that has never existed? more
"Odelay is a word, check the Becktionary." more
We are the Youth gone Wild!!!!! oh no, sorry..... it’s still a 5 more
One of the most beautiful voices in contemporary music... warm, powerful, expressive, with a great range. Without him, Skid Row is worth very little. more
A voice that touches the heart, melancholic symphonic melodies, a few true masterpieces scattered here and there; above all, "In Held 'Twas In I" stands tall like a beacon. more
One of the reasons why the average listener might become passionate about the vulgar Chaotic Piggs, the Ugly and Ignorant, the neo-Nazi Skrewdriver, or the seminal WalkiriaSS. Or an excellent reason to remain loyal to Napalm Death and Meshuggah while standing up and sniffing the Carcass. more
I don't give them a 5 because I'm always afraid they'll steal my car radio, anyway, a fundamental group until 1992. Augusto is among the top 3 Italian voices of all time. more
He has done some excellent things in my opinion (Stereopathetic Soulmanure, Mellow Gold, Odelay, and Sea Change deserve a lot), but also many despicable crap. more
Unconditional contempt.. Mediocre, hypocritical, a cheap Italian, miserable.. When he sang "Il mio nemico tiene nella fondina le carte VISA", I remembered him at Sanremo, singing "Salirò", I remembered him on MTV and TRL, and I felt like smashing his face.. A bourgeois baronet with a commercially well-established leftist attitude.. more

Gascon, self-satisfied, a bit crafty and quite brilliant... What amazes me most about him is his escape from boredom and his downward trajectory... more
