Litfiba
The best Italian band of all time. Forget about their supposed death in the 90s; later, Litfiba would create their swan song with "Terremoto," an excellent Italian hard rock album so ahead of its time that certain songs (especially "Maudit") seem to have been written yesterday, when in reality, 16 years have passed. After (and not before) their actual artistic death would come. In a word, they are a living treasure of Italian music. more
Martin Barre
Martin Barre has been the faithful guitar sidekick of Jethro Tull for 40 years now, one of the many underrated artists in the history of rock. His technical skills are excellent, but undoubtedly his solo career is marked by songwriting that is not always up to par. His strongest pieces are the instrumentals. Among his many merits, he wrote one of the most beautiful solos in history with Aqualung. more
Allison Run
The greatest Italian psychedelia of all time... the great Verardi and Palazzo...!!! more
Depeche Mode

I'm already on the lawn. more
Tricarico
Original, Very interesting, Quite engaged... and also pretty cool, take that. more
Sly & The Family Stone
..soul, funk, psychedelia, R&B at its best.. they were crazy addicts but they wrote two monumental albums: Stand! and There's A Riot Goin' On.. more
Tricarico
Beautiful, Great, Uniquely original... (so no one should have anything to say, right?!) :-) more
Pooh
a link between the Beatles and Battisti, they have traversed without getting trapped in very different genres, from beat to prog-Italian, from seventies pop to the wave intuitions of the early '80s (Lettera da Berlino Est), even brushing against hard rock. They used electronics and Tubular Bells (La Gabbia) and even alluded to Brit-pop (Ascolta); they have told stories of love, life, tragedy, and rebirth from the only possible point of view: realism. They give strong emotions. A little? :VivA:. more
Depeche Mode
very important between 1986 and 1998. They were the first to introduce me to everything I would later appreciate over the course of a decade, including - strange, huh? - the Jesus Lizard. Without them, I would have never opened the doors to this world. more
Enrico Ruggeri
Underrated more
Tricarico
A crossroads of music and words, made of cheerful adult dadaism and ultra-melancholic, psycho-analytic nightmares for children, between The Little Prince, a zen monk just out of satori, and a genius fool like Wayne Coyne. With Battisti and Celentano in the heart. more
Depeche Mode
Fluctuating, in those moments when they reached the peak, they could look down on everyone, taking the liberty of teaching music to anyone, only to then fall back into the depths at the same speed. Nevertheless, in the history of music, they will always be there. more
Aphex Twin
The genius of Cornwall, nonconformist to the core, with an immense body of work, anticipated many genres that would later emerge in the coming years. more
Depeche Mode
Alternating and inconsistent, between excellent productions and sticky molasses. They have influenced at least two generations and a multitude of different genres. And they're still there. more
Hüsker Dü
The best thing that has ever happened to me to listen to...immense. more
Diaframma
"I would like people to come see me in concert with the same spirit with which they go to see certain endangered animals at the zoo." Federico Fiumani more
Soundgarden
the only "jesus christ pose" is worth the entire repertoire of Kyuss more
Soundgarden
Chitaristically multifaceted, they channel the moods of the '80s, noise and grandiosity into a rocky and imaginative hard rock form. They are the perfect and nostalgic summary of the last twenty years of rock, but above all an attempt at communicative universalization of the most disparate influences within the musical aesthetics of the '90s. superunknown should be taken with closed eyes. more
Jane's Addiction
The gentlemen of Crossover, along with the other two corners of the triad Faith no More/Red Hot Chili Peppers. more
