Robert Wyatt
A great figure of the Canterbury movement, an essential musical reference. An open mind to experimentation, a heart full of feelings. An absolute musician, a unique voice. An exemplary man, in humility and consistency. more
Melvins
Tracked vehicles in motion, hallucinations and delusions sometimes overshadowed by burps and farts. The Melvins are a pair of aces that never let me down. One calls himself KING, the other pounds the drums like a beast, proudly wrapped in his brutishness. 2 men alone at the helm, 25 years of untainted activity. Time seems to stand still... more
Heart
Ann and Nancy Wilson are the fabulous leaders of the band. The former has a powerful voice, higher than ever, while the latter is the mastermind behind brilliant and catchy riffs, which together create a gritty atmosphere. In the early days of their career (we're talking about the '70s), their music was heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin, while in the '80s their style leaned towards a classy AOR. more
KISS
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City!! more
Fripp & Eno
Magnificent, eclectic, avant-garde, charismatic, forerunners, visionaries. more
Area
Musically, we have been led to believe that Italy was inferior and derivative compared to the rest of the world. The Area have been able, more than anyone else, to debunk this rumor. Difuoristi, the voice of the verb "di fuori." more
Philip K. Dick
(DeFinizione Interiore 1.3). "What is real?"..."What is human?"... The greatest and most brilliant writer of science fiction and nightmares of all time. A complex and enigmatic existence, with a mystery of a religious vision that shook his life eight years before his death, leading him to the realization of an immense diary of self-analysis titled "Exegesis." more
Robert Fripp
Genius, eclectic, meticulous, sometimes hallucinatory. Not always recognized. more
Jimi Hendrix
I completely agree. Just say or write Jimi Hendrix and the electric guitars come to life on their own. more
Robert Johnson
Through Robert Johnson, the devil himself sowed the wicked seed of rock'n'roll in the womb of the blues. Through Robert Johnson, he reinvented the personification of the cursed artist. Through Robert Johnson, he began to demand respect for the infamous clauses of his contracts, and to steadfastly follow in the footsteps of all those who will play the blues as their last hope for redemption. Indispensable. more
Jethro Tull
A great band that I had the chance to follow, with a good dose of luck, at an anonymous concert in Rome. The great driving force, Ian Anderson, is an almost abstract entity in the world of rock, due to his colorful multi-facetedness. Too bad for the lack of continuity over the years. more
Nick Drake
I never felt magic crazy as this... more
DJ Krush
A former Yakuza affiliate turned posse member. The first Japanese DJ to use live instruments. One who has remixed everything and everyone, including Boredoms. Basically, a cool guy. more
Robert Fripp
(GuitardeFinitionAcoustic 0.0) The greatest guitar genius of all time. "It is impossible to achieve an aim without suffering" (J. G. Bennet). more
Jimi Hendrix
The greatest electric guitarist of all time. more
Tom Petty
American artist hailing from Gainesville, Tom Petty's career began in 1976, supported by the band "The Heartbreakers." His rock is straightforward and solid, with southern and country nuances. Tom Petty is a multi-instrumentalist: he plays guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and sings, as well as being the author of almost all his songs, many of which have become true American icons. He has collaborated with numerous artists, including: George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Johnny Cash, Roger McGuinn. more
Jethro Tull
Take a revolutionary way of playing the flute from a charismatic leader, who, in addition to being a true poet in his lyrics, has a wonderful voice and writes almost all the pieces; add to that a compositional originality that ranks among the few, an excellent loyal and long-standing guitarist, who has witnessed the succession of formations under the banner of top-notch musicians: this is the prototype of the perfect band, and it’s called Jethro Tull. more
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Probably the greatest American rock band of the '70s. The first two albums are scandalously beautiful. Then a couple of good albums, but not excellent; followed by a phenomenal double live album and a return to the studio to create the last great record, Street Survivors. The plane crash stopped them at the peak of a short but intense career. Free Bird, Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone, That Smell, Call Me The Breeze, I Need You, Sweet Home Alabama, I Never Dreamed.... a repertoire to envy anyone. more
Vasco Rossi
Once he was a remarkable character, able to create great albums, both in the period from "Ma Cosa Vuoi Che Sia Una Canzone" to "Bollicine" and in the period from "Cosa Succede In Città" to "Liberi...Liberi." But after the live album "Fronte Del Palco," his decline began. A decline that continues to this day. A living Mirabilandia that I don't want to visit, a wandering zombie that can disappear at any moment. I will only remember the early albums. more
U2
You can’t build an entire career on two plin plin of chtarra with Brian Eno’s delay and the screams of that tall Zorro, a can of the singer. And then their biblical visions of the series that what am I doing Lord help me-. A band of chubby guys for faux-hippie yuppies. RATING: keep these roughnecks in Ireland!!!! more
