A man who produces masterpieces like "Le Cose Della Vita," "Quando Verrà Natale," "Lilly," "Ullalla," "Sotto Il Segno Dei Pesci," "Sotto La Pioggia," "Cuore" can as well turn to sing the Zecchino D'Oro, but the five remains mandatory. more

Lucio Dalla | DeRank™: 0,00

His songs are all more beautiful than the last; he is not only a great singer-songwriter but also an excellent musician. He has a voice and a vocal range that are quite uncommon… in my opinion, the greatest singer-songwriter of all time. more

Genesis — Spot The Pigeon (EP) | DeRank™: 0,00

A splendid piece (Inside and out is among my favorite tracks from the four-piece era) and two insipid ones. The hinge between one way of composing and another, between the desire to architect complex structures and the wish for an easy piece (even when it’s only seemingly so: read Turn it on again). more

Historical find on the Genesis reunion in '82 to help their friend Peter in bankruptcy...

Fish has many problems, but in live performances, the worst issue a singer can have becomes apparent... the voice. more

Jovanotti | DeRank™: 0,00

I used to snub him back in the Ghimmifaiv days, but then I liked to act cool with some moves on his songs, then I hated him, and then I appreciated him in the mid-'90s. After that, I ignored him. more
Riccardo Zappa -Definire significa limitare
harlequin
Just his 12-string guitar is enough to produce a full and engaging sound. From the sweetest tracks to the most rhythmic ones, it takes you on a sea of deep and brilliant sounds.
13 pieces by Zappa expertly reworked by him. Being the only work I know, I can only define it, but it deserves a top-notch review. more

Precious gems, but also a lot of cheap jewelry. Too many live performances, too much arrogance. more

Guns N' Roses -Appetite For Destruction
blied
Overrated, trivial, mediocre hard rock album, one of the worst of the '80s, songs with the same atmosphere, simplicity, superficial lyrics, and terrible screams à la Brian Johnson. Slash is a decent guitarist but a terrible songwriter, Duff's bass lines are okay but nothing impressive (compare them to those of John Paul Jones and then tell me), and don't get me started on the drums, they do the same thing in every song! But the worst thing about the album is definitely Axl Rose, who becomes extremely annoying when he sings high notes or screams!

So what can I say, a truly mediocre album, not far from what mediocre Bon Jovi and AC/DC offer. As mentioned earlier, Duff's bass lines are okay and they are the best thing about the album, thumbs down for the rest, the dull riffs, the drumming, the terrible voice, and especially for Axl's embarrassing moans. more

An impromptu yet highly effective pairing. Double bass and guitars weave light, dense, at times poignant textures. more
Luciano De Crescenzo -Così Parlò Bellavista

A film still fresh, after 35 years.
A series of sketches to present the most charming Neapolitan character, even in its contradictions, infused with De Crescenzo's philosophical approach, from the praise of doubt to the dichotomy between men of love and men of freedom. more
