"I come from the streets, everyone knows that. Among friends, we use swear words practically with affection: 'Come here, you little shit,' 'What are you doing, you whore.' So, it comes naturally to me to elevate the tone and rhythm a bit at concerts, 'get your asses up and come dance.' It's my style, like it or not. My fans like it. It would be much easier to do the regular show 'good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the applause, see you next summer'" (la Repubblica, August 15, 2007). This is blues! more

Vasco Rossi | DeRank™: 1,20

Highly overrated, in my opinion, is like Valentino Rossi in Italy; everyone says he’s the best and everyone goes "Valentinooooo," but they don’t even know why they cheer for him. The same thing goes for Vasco Rossi—people ignorant enough to think they’re "Rock" just because they listen to Vasco Rossi and say "I like Vascoooo." This is Italy, as Pino Scotto says. more

Sergio Leone | DeRank™: 0,00

Perhaps one of the best Italian directors of all time, his westerns are the only films I truly (very much) appreciate in the genre, and Once Upon a Time in America (featuring an extraordinary Bob De Niro) is a beautiful film. more

Shining, Full m.jacket, A Clockwork Orange, 2001 and a couple of other films like Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory, uhm... I must say, good job Stanley. more

Cunningly brilliant. While being an extremely commercial director, he has undeniably created some great films such as: Jaws, Close Encounters, Duel, E.T., and the most recent Schindler's List. more

Legendary bassist of VDGG in The Least and much of H to He, and especially in Vital. Also worth listening to are his contributions to P.H.'s solo albums such as The Silent Corner or Enter K. more

Hugh Banton | DeRank™: 1,73

A myth. An exceptional architect, builder of marvelous gothic cathedrals ringing in service of Jackson’s sax and Hammill’s voice; without him the cathedrals would collapse, and the generator would stop working, Hammill or no Hammill. The fundamental gear (now even more than before, after Jackson’s departure) of the Van der Graaf generator. more

Let's say they don't shine for imagination and eclecticism. But I BOW to their "pull." An absolute reference point in their genre. more

They borrow their name from the pseudonym used by a very young Paul McCartney when he didn't want to reveal his name in the lowest-tier contests (1 vote for this). They are unbearable but aware of it (1 vote for this). They have been important for a bunch of people who otherwise would have never approached music (1 vote for this). more

Surely the most important and charismatic figure of the 80s/early 90s. One cannot say it's all show and no substance; he is undeniably a god of music. more

Energy, power, and technique all in one shot! Travis Barker is undoubtedly one of the best in his genre; of course, outside of his genre, there are millions of drummers who are better, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he is a great drummer, as well as a true showman. Without him, Blink 182 would have been half of what they are. more

The “superior” lyricist is also Mogol, who, however, had the good sense not to sing. A voice, at least a little, helps to make singers. In the case of Nicolò and his hair, with which he has lived forever in the world (like anyone else, including the bald), there is inspiration, seriousness, sincerity, and a lot to say, so as an artist, he compensates in part. I don't like him, but I admire him. more
