Colour Haze
stoner to be handled with care, prolonged use might mess with your synapses... more
Larry Graham
He invented slapping, and for that alone he deserves an eternal 5. Add to that his role as a cornerstone of Sly & The Family Stone, and then the rating becomes mere formality. more
Eric Burdon
"You know what I'm talking about, Jimi?!?" more
Elvis Presley
UNMEASURABLE. Too cool, too good, too much of a star, too much of an entrepreneur. Excessive in everything. And that voice... if he had written it himself, he would be the messiah. But still, he's not far from it. more

it's not all that bad, he's doing fine... more
Morgan
He's not the only singer without a voice. He's not the only songwriter who writes terrible songs. But at least he knows a lot more about music than average, and he’s built an interesting persona practically from scratch. Live with Blu Vertigo, he rocked it (I saw them in '95). Very good at the piano, and an eclectic multi-instrumentalist. Pippa drugs? Who among them doesn't? At least in that regard, he's not "different" as he insists on appearing. more
Morgan
It generates very clear opinions, and mine is positive, but it's a shame that his career has been a downward slope: I loved him madly in Bluvertigo, as a solo artist he was able to give us excellent things, but his foray into television may have ruined him for good. more
Frank Zappa
It's cool to give 5 to Frank Zappa. more
Vasco Rossi
A five-year-old writes better texts. more
Marilyn Manson
this is all bad, I don’t like it and it sings evil. more
Marilyn Manson
“He’s a mischievous boy who would trample over anyone just to achieve success, crossing any boundary of decency. Looking at him now, alcohol and drugs dominate his life, and he has become a drugged clown. He used to be the smartest kid around. As a fan of his talent, I hope he gets his act together soon.” Just Trent’s words are enough to define Manson... The early stuff was great, but the rest is MTV trash. more
Kurt Cobain
His voice is a scream of rage. An enigmatic character, but "real". Zero technique, but who cares; after all, often the rarest plants sprout where there's little fertilizer. And if it brings my pimples back, it's just good news. A GREAT ONE more
Kurt Cobain
Stop slouching and wake up. Cobain is one of the most talented writers of the '90s. With all due respect, what applies to artists like the Beatles, Bowie, Elvis, etc., applies to him as well. Class isn't something you acquire; it's something to be envied. more
Tiromancino
"the description of a moment"... never was a title more fitting. Because it describes the duration of my appreciation for the group. I heard the Roman dialect guy play guitar and sing live in Rome, in an unknown venue. It blew me away. I swore I would follow them to the ends of the earth, but then I gave up... from that moment on, one disappointment after another. Watered down, predictable, simplistic, light, almost unlistenable. What a shame. more
Bruce Springsteen
Go listen to the Creedence: songs like "who'll stop the rain" or "have you ever seen the rain" are worth more than boring tracks like "the river." The synthesis and effectiveness that characterize Fogerty's lyrics and music are unknown to the verbose Springsteen (and while you're at it, try comparing the voices too). more
Agatha Christie
Undisputed QUEEN OF THE ENGLISH THRILLER! more
George Harrison
"I say it's alright." more
Marillion
Among the most beautiful things written in new prog in the '80s more
IQ
the best band of New Prog alongside Marillion with Fish, but I like them more. more
