what I do NOT look for in prog (@ragazzoberlinottantacinque: evidently yes, babe) more
Janis Joplin
if rock had feminine features, it would surely have her face. as for the soul, it’s already an integral part of it. more
Eros Ramazzotti
barely credible as a young man in the '80s, pathetic in the '90s, unbearable and a pain in the ass in the 2000s. more
My Bloody Valentine
The delicacy of chaos more
Yes
History, what stories! The only flaw in the slightly absurd texts is that they are always and only in service of the music, but what music! more
Elvis Presley
I imagine the Colonel when he heard the young truck driver playing That's All Right Mama... the King. more
Yes
Splendid, pompous, redundant, monstrous: the progressive chiasmus. more
Yes
They had the courage to get close to the edge, but in the end, they fell in... more
The Magnetic Fields
little known???
Hmm, I wouldn't say so, it's certainly not Madonna or Bob Dylan. more
The Magnetic Fields
Stephen Merritt, known as Magnetic Fields. A miraculous jack-of-all-trades composer sadly little known. Listen to 69 Love Songs, but first, grab some tissues. more
Frank Sinatra
The Voice. Well, it was also a bit mafioso. more
Bluvertigo
In those years, a gem in the sea of Italian musical crap. more

ACID MORNINGS FULL OF NICOTINE CROWDED NIGHTS WHERE EVERYTHING SLIPS AWAY PSYCHOTIC MOOD SWINGS APPARENT CALM EE TORN CURTAIN THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE more
Peter Gabriel
I confirm my theory: an artist (not a group) should be able to make a maximum of 5 or 6 albums and then move on to do something else. Gabriel is one of them. more
Peter Gabriel
Defining is essential, even if it means to delimit, demarcate, encircle. Exactly the opposite of what one can do regarding one of the most genius, innovative, and influential composers of Rock in its broadest sense. It's obvious to consider his highs (many) and lows (some). One might say: indefinable. But that wouldn't mean much more. Better to say: a progenitor even if not indispensable. As perhaps (almost) anyone else. more
Dire Straits
Baroque and formal perfection cannot coexist for long without feeling their weight. But not everything that is stylistic innovation is necessarily superior. They have created jewels. That's enough. more
Peter Gabriel
He has cast his shadow over the entire rock scene, and THIS is undeniable, wherever a great artist is concerned, solsbury hill, a different drum, san jacinto, here comes the flood, biko and so on up to the respectable up (which still contains some beautiful pieces, including the stunning darkness), and the constant quest that continues in modern works. THERE IS NO DISCUSSION. more
Peter Gabriel
lately he has created a huge album, no doubt about it, Genesis only make sense with him... so... more
Dire Straits
Yes, but come on, when does Sultans Of Swing start......... more
Peter Gabriel
The third solo album and "So" are enough on their own to give him 5 stars... even if lately he should take it a bit easier. more
