Sonic Youth
Moods and Noises from '80s New York. Essential. more
Scorpions
At times, they evoke the worst of Judas Priest: mainstream, flashy, predictable, trivial, derivative. They have built much of their career on the riff of "I Can't Explain." Music full of compromises. more
George Harrison
Magnificent sacred monster of pop. more
Talking Heads
Metropolitan psychosis in NYC & the black rhythm of Mother Africa. more
Vasco Rossi
Of the worst of our worst more
Beastie Boys
Funny idiots, but when they get into it, they're super engaged politically. Great guys! more
Scorpions
One of the greatest hard rock groups in history, awesome in both the '70s and the '80s. They have had (and still have) some of the greatest guitarists of all time. more
Muse
One of the most underrated bands of recent times: an excellent and daring blend of grunge, progressive, classical, and pop rock. more
Litfiba
In the '80s, phenomenal. In the early '90s, really good. The rest is superfluous. Good times when Pelù was a wild man... more
George Harrison
The cosmic Beatle more
George Harrison
Excellent yet underrated. Unfortunately overshadowed by the Lennon-McCartney tandem, unjustly so. He never made a fuss, standing out solely by his abilities. And without making a sound, he left us. Thank you, George, for everything. Truly great! more
Litfiba
Very good until the divorce between Pelù and Renzulli. The substitute for the former is a vulgar imitation of him that becomes evident from "Elettromacumba" onwards. more
Beastie Boys
Intergalactic badass avant-garde rap as well as party animals with a machine-gun flow more
Scorpions
A fantastic hard & heavy band. Among the few capable of thrilling with powerful tracks and then moving you with poignant ballads. Music that's always well played and of great class. Those who think that the Scorpions are just Wind of Change and little else make the same mistake as those who think Deep Purple is only Smoke on the Water and not much more. Recommended albums? All the ones I know: Tokyo Tapes, Virgin Killer, Taken by Force, Lovedrive, World Wide Live, Live Bites. more
Vasco Rossi
Seen at the May 1st concert. He seemed better than other times, but once again the negative protagonists were his fans who insulted and disrespected anyone who played before him, even those giants of PFM. SHAME!!! SHAME!!! SHAME!!! more
Litfiba
"One of the greatest Italian groups in history from its beginnings until 1990, after which they would have done better to dissolve immediately and with honor... AND INSTEAD, THEY SHOW THEMSELVES TO STILL BE A BUNCH OF HUNGRY PEOPLE AS I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED! True rating: 0!" The above personal definition is updated by the following news now confirmed by everyone, including Wikipedia, from which the following is extracted: "On December 13, 2021, in Milan, Piero Pelù and Ghigo Renzulli officially announced the conclusion of the Litfiba experience lasting 42 years, followed by the final Tour "L'Ultimo Girone." This tour will kick off on April 26, 2022, in Padua, followed by stops in Naples, Rome, Florence, and Milan, with the last date set for May 25, 2022, at Alcatraz. The duo Pelù-Renzulli will be joined on stage by the confirmed Fabrizio Simoncioni (keyboards) and Luca Martelli (drums), new addition Dado Neri (bass), and some special guests." ...for the first-hour fans (myself included) the real farewell tour was PIRATA... more
Litfiba
Once great new wave musicians, then good rockers, finally death. R.I.P. Litfiba. more
