he and Tonio Cartonio the martyrs of RAI more
it's not all that bad, he's doing fine... more
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
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
It's cool to give 5 to Frank Zappa. more

this is all bad, I don’t like it and it sings evil. more
“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
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
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
"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
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
Undisputed QUEEN OF THE ENGLISH THRILLER! more

Among the most beautiful things written in new prog in the '80s more
the best band of New Prog alongside Marillion with Fish, but I like them more. more
Serious, consistent artist. Not exactly a pioneer of innovation, but the poor sales testify to a musical project aimed at quality. A bit boring, in my opinion, but there's much, much worse. A good folk-pop background for somewhat gloomy days. more
A dear companion. more
Friendly, easygoing, humble. Beyond that, he is TOO politically aligned and winks at supermarket music (who can blame him). Guitar and voice EMOTIONS, truly. He is excellent on the piano. In his production, here and there, there are moments of higher-level music that few in Italy have in their repertoire. REAL TALENT, struggling to demonstrate it concretely, and he seems a bit downcast. more
Damn, what a voice! A peculiar music, come on, or at least it's trying. I followed it closely to see if it could hold up or if it would let itself be sucked into the "Muzicbiz." But then the phrase "news is the anagram of my name, you know?" made me throw in the towel. What a wasteeee!!! more
