Roberto Vecchioni
So many magnificent words, so many stories of unforgettable characters... and almost never a musical reason that matches. What a shame. more
Mariah Carey
A piece of ass. more

"My name is John Francis Pastorius III and I am the greatest bassist in the world." more

Music, pure and beautiful Music more
Jaco Pastorius
The best bassist of all time? more
Rino Gaetano
he had nothing to envy from the other great singer-songwriters, in this sense hindered by the choice of a more ironic and carefree style (not exactly in the lyrics). giant more
Stanley Kubrick
Hal's Eye on History. Man. Cinema. more
The Velvet Underground
The dream of the Sixties ended up in the acidic sewers of New York's underbelly, among "Heroin," "Venus In Furs," and "The Black Angel's Death Song." They lit up the dark, wild, and loureedo side of Rock. Warhol guarantees: essential. more
Jaco Pastorius
The bass, a simple accompanying instrument? After Charles Mingus, no longer; after Jaco Pastorius, even less so. more
The Heads
God. With a piercing, abrasive, persistent headache.

""Come on, kid... push the little pedal..."" more
Marta sui tubi
If Sanremo talked about top-class Italian music, they would clean up. more
Jaco Pastorius
Overflowing personality, great composer and arranger, he has managed to embody with extreme naturalness the prototype of a 360° musician. The warm and unmistakable voice of his jazz fretless bass has been his mantra. Through a soloistic approach, he has perhaps reformulated more than anyone else the ABCs of an instrument that, thanks to him, gains melodic and counter-melodic functions. Herbie Hancock: "he is an absolute surprise for perceptual faculties." Natural talent. more
Dream Theater
masturbation to power! technically good, unnecessary in every other respect. among the most overrated of all time. more

Siouxsie and the Banshees
Always fairy-tale-like, both in the dark-punk of their beginnings and in the softer pop of the latter part of their career. more

Depeche Mode
Synth-pop was a fleeting trend, but Depeche Mode have had a decades-long career. There must be a reason for that. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi
The fact that they were Italians is a source of pride for us, but for them, it was half a letdown. more
Zucchero
"Tenor-like version of Sting... Italian Peter Gabriel" for the US. Plagiario for Italy. He has ranged from sublime soul-jazz ("Dune Mosse") to intimate songs ("Diamante", "Un Piccolo Aiuto"), explored the wave-electro paths of Ermetico Battisti ("Eccetera Eccetera"), and UK pop ("Occhi", "Pure Love"), combined Christmas white and rai ("Così Celeste") blues and lyricism ("Miserere"), M.Davis E.Morricone C.Rustici J.Lee-Hooker F.De Gregori I.Fossati C.Mami Bonovox Elisa... a bit "edited". more
The Cure
Joyful periods that alternate cyclically with dark times. For better or for worse, a group that resembles me. more
