Al Jarreau -Look to the Rainbow
Joy of living, joy of playing.
Impossible to listen to it and remain sad.
An unmissable album. more
Three Dog Night -Around the World With Three Dog Night
live poorly managed in my opinion, both in production and in recording more
Vasco Rossi
He could regain some dignity by becoming a spokesperson for Kukident. But honestly, I hope he dies before that happens. more
Anti-Vax
A herd of functional illiterates to be sent to the South Pole with triple spinning kicks in their mouths. more
The Kolors
The incapacity, the strange-sexual indeterminacy, the most uninhibited poverty, and the worst hairstylists of the '80s meet at the attitude's home for a cocktail that smells of piss, blush, lip gloss, and opportunism... What does opportunism smell like?? more
Al Jarreau -We Got By
Sparkling debut, it already has all the best of Al: killer offbeats, impossible to stay still, absolute rhythm, and an incredible voice, agile and flexible like no other. Great first show! more
Sir Anthony Hopkins
After Hannibal Lecter, thriller cinema was never the same. more
Stratovarius -Stratovarius
The testimony, if there was still a need for it, of the musical and personal decline that had affected Tolkki. Flunked across the board. more
Vasco Rossi -Gli Spari Sopra
The "fury" gives way to disillusionment. more
Rino Gaetano -Ingresso libero
From the very first album, Gaetano was a unique "satellite" of the Italian singer-songwriter scene of those years, in his lyrics, style, and way of expressing his poetic vision. Compared to the three subsequent albums, here he is, in some songs, slightly less "out of the ordinary" than he would later become, wonderfully so. The album is still beautiful, with some of my favorite songs by Rino, especially "E la vecchia salta con l'asta." Then there's "Ad esempio a me piace il Sud," "Tu, forse non essenzialmente tu," and "Khatmandu." A great debut for a great artist. more
Various Artists -Blues Explosion
Montreux Jazz Festival 1982
Explosive!!! more
Iron Maiden -Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
The best Maiden album and one of the best overall when it comes to metal. To hell with certain snobby little brats that infest the site. more
Jaco Pastorius
"But no, look, the bass is only and exclusively for rhythm," "But no, look, the bass without frets is called double bass," "But no, look, playing jazz with an electric bass means spitting on the history of music." I ask you to think about how we would be if this person had never come into the world, even those who perhaps believe (a personal opinion that deserves all my respect, mind you) that his work is the most terrible in the history of fusion... more
Swans
...romantically aggressive as swans are, a gothic beauty enveloped in a tragically noisy industrial beauty, ...terrifying!!! more
Renato Zero
Once I would have beaten him, now I think I would hug him (but don’t get carried away, okay?) more
Freddie Mercury
I would like to listen to it even when I am no longer here... I would like to die listening to his voice... more
Queen -Live At Wembley Stadium 86'
The more the years go by, the more we realize (unlike the oblivion that falls on the most celebrated "rock kings") how Mercury was and will always be unmatched. more
Neil Young -Freedom
The King is alive!!....long live the King!! more
Stratovarius
First period with Tolkki on vocals is interesting and, if we want, also underrated, but the trilogy Episode / Visions / Destiny, and even Infinite, is more than enough to enshrine them among the most significant bands of the genre. Then Tolkki went mad, but the last works without him are definitely worth mentioning. more
The Birthday Party -It's Still Living
Although it was released posthumously after the band's breakup, this stunning album is perhaps the quintessential live testimony captured on record by the Birthday Party, resulting from recordings taken from a single concert, held in their Australia, at the Astor Theatre, on January 15, 1982. Half of the tracks are a preview of the masterpiece ("Junkyard") that would be released just a few months later (in fact, counting "Blast Off" and "Release the Bats," which were initially released only as singles and later included as bonus tracks on "Junkyard," even more than half of the tracks) while the rest comes from "Prayers on Fire." It's a pity there's a total absence of songs from the first album, which is almost equally beautiful. And well, it's a live recording from these crazy guys, what else to expect; a terrifying rendition of tracks like "She's Hit," "The Dim Locator," "Junkyard," "King Ink," "A Dead Song," etc... more
