Van Halen
Great hard-rock band, not essential, not seminal, not particularly innovative (Van Halen deserves credit for taking tapping to new heights, but he certainly didn't invent it), yet early in their career they released 2-3 truly solid hard rock albums. more
Joe Zawinul
Asshole like few. more
Marco Travaglio
A journalist with a straight back, one of the few able to worthy inherit Montanelli's legacy. If only there were more pain-in-the-neck types like him... more
Fabio Fazio
A useless host if not for the constant assists to certain politics. Deathly boring. If it weren't for the beautiful interviews that now and then he actually manages to set up. more
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Rock in every way, between blues, rock'n'roll, psychedelia, and a hint of proto-hard rock. more
The 13th Floor Elevators
One of the greatest bands of the '60s. Thank you for gifting us with psychedelia. more
Jefferson Airplane
Ah, the psychedelic San Francisco of the '60s. The Jeffersons, what can I say, an exceptional band. Four incredible albums of equal caliber from '67 to '69, then two more good works. Exceptional musicians, Grace Slick an extraordinary singer (and unbelievably hot) capable of writing a remarkable amount of masterpiece tracks. Kaukonen, an amazing guitarist. The transformation into a spaceship didn’t yield the best results. Legendary. more
The Yardbirds
Fundamentals. One of the greatest rock-blues bands of all time, they launched Clapton and especially Beck and Plant, produced wonderful records, and from their ashes, amazing bands were born. I would say that should suffice. more
Cream
5 stars for life, at least when it comes to "Fresh Cream" and especially "Disraeli Gears". I also really like "Wheels of Fire". more
Joe Zawinul
One of the utmost expressions of Jazz-rock-fusion. more
Negrita
Hasn't anyone noticed that the singer is actually Chimenti?
Listen to it. more
Weather Report
Not just technique, but also a lot of class. An incredible drummer! more
Marilyn Monroe
A truly genuine Goddess gifted to us from heaven, and this is not a mere definition. Beyond her iconography, as an actress—though she may not have been among the best of all time—she was by no means lacking. Lupin, please, let’s not shoot bullshit. more
Weather Report
They are the gods of fusion. more
Negrita
A former great rock band more
Negramaro
Oh no, anything but these! more
Daniele Sepe
Rude? Perhaps, but undeniably brilliant. Listen to Suonarne 1 to educate 100, compared to what the radio plays today it's more than a masterpiece. more
Negramaro
A great remedy for constipation. more
Michael Jackson
Darius, how many damn photos have you sent?! more
