The best heirs of the Beatles sound. Intelligent, knowledgeable, skilled in composition and presentation. more
One of the best and most personal "bridges" between the music of the '70s and the subsequent wave. Perhaps Foxx's are more interesting, while Ure's are definitely enjoyable. more
bitter Ramazzotti, very bitter. more
One of the ruins of music. more
Don't pay attention to Mario Cassini. Beyond any dislike one might feel for the frontman, he's one of the most interesting figures in recent years. "Metallo Non Metallo" is one of the most beautiful albums of the Italian '90s. more
Neurotic and intricately complex but truly great! more
A fundamental post-punk band that, had they disbanded after 1981, might today be regarded on par with Joy Division. Unfortunately, they continued to churn out increasingly ugly and commercial records. more
In the early part of their career, they were truly among the best representatives of English post-punk, but after the commercial turnaround of 1983, they unfortunately became rarely noteworthy. more
Those with Foxx are considered by many to be pioneers of the New Wave, but perhaps because of this, their music has aged worse than that of many other artists in the genre. With Ure, they at least left behind a pleasant synthpop album like "Vienna." more
Certainly one of the most representative and valid groups of the English post-punk scene, it's a shame they lasted too short. more
what I do NOT look for in prog (@ragazzoberlinottantacinque: evidently yes, babe) more
if rock had feminine features, it would surely have her face. as for the soul, it’s already an integral part of it. more
barely credible as a young man in the '80s, pathetic in the '90s, unbearable and a pain in the ass in the 2000s. more
The delicacy of chaos more
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
I imagine the Colonel when he heard the young truck driver playing That's All Right Mama... the King. more
Splendid, pompous, redundant, monstrous: the progressive chiasmus. more
They had the courage to get close to the edge, but in the end, they fell in... more
little known???
Hmm, I wouldn't say so, it's certainly not Madonna or Bob Dylan. more
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
