Collapsing New People
The collective has never died. more
RIBALDO
I am aware of your true identity. more
Luca Carboni
Singer-songwriter whose innate talents for this job I've never understood. Too many chart-topping albums in my opinion. Many of his songs in the Italian scene have disgusted me, even compared to those of any Masini or Ramazzotti. more
Deep Purple
Pure hard rock... This is where it all begins. more
Eddie Vedder
The most beautiful voice in the musical landscape. Powerful and gritty yet calm and reassuring at the same time. more
Neil Young -Time Fades Away
Unfortunately, this live of unreleased tracks happened to be released among absolute masterpieces, and so the 5 doesn't hold up. What a pity — in a different historical context, it would have received much greater appreciation! more
R.E.M. -Up
One cannot certainly define it as an "immediate" album. Melancholic and introspective, it is not suitable for rainy days! more
Demetrio Stratos
With that surname, there exists him and a well-known rally-winning car... They share one thing: a technical apparatus so innovative and well-prepared that it is unknown to future singers and automotive engineers around the world. more
Alice Cooper
One of the best artists in hard rock, not like that crap from Guns N' Roses. more
Dulce Pontes -O Primeiro Canto
A magical record, an absolute voice that can be sensual and ethereal, of earth and fire, of sky and air. Supported by a host of top-notch collaborators (from Wayne Shorter to Trilok Gurtu). more
Domenico Modugno
It came from a classical guitar and nothing else. From that, he recorded humorous songs, songs that represent us in the world, dramatic stories of life and love, lively music that already looked toward what would become the pop of the following years. His "Nel blu dipinto di blu" represents an Italy where values, unfortunately no longer at the foundation of it all, made everyone's life a little simpler. And even today, it remains, probably, our second anthem. Artists like McCartney, Metallica, Chet Atkins, or Frank Sinatra have paid tribute to him in their concerts. And if it's unfair to link him solely to that, I must say that songs like "La donna riccia," "Vecchio frac," and "Tu sì' n'a cosa grande" have always put me in a good mood. more
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin III is a 5-star album, theirs is a 4, but two shitty records they made after Physical Graffiti bring down the average. more
Neil Young -Old Ways
a troubled Geffen period, and the dark period of his production. Despite the lightness and the feeling of something thrown together, the result is on the verge of sufficiency. more
X-Factor
A show that has annoyed me forever. Even the very first cultured editions (an excuse used at the time by fans to justify the low ratings) branded by RAI were pathetic, despite the fact that among so much junk they proposed at least a few musically appreciable projects (bands), while in these latest editions on Pay TV, just look at the 'artists' they count among the judges and what has been produced (?) to understand how the little credit it might have had at the beginning from those with a decent musical knowledge (even among some supporters registered on this site) has completely dissolved. Useless. more
Marillion -The Thieving Magpie (La Gazza Ladra)
the perfect summary of an incredible live band....and I was there!!!! more
The Congos -Heart of the Congos
I’m not a big fan of reggae, but this album takes you straight into the warm sounds of Africa and the dense expanse of the jungle. A great masterpiece of roots music. more
Jimi Hendrix
An overrated guitarist. Everyone says he is a great guitarist without knowing why, just because everyone says so, repeating like parrots. In short, lacking any critical spirit of their own. In reality, Hendrix was a guitarist without taste and technique, one of the worst around. more
Alvaro Soler
What annoys the hell out of you in summer and collects unemployment in winter... more
Società -C'era una volta la Fiat
Once upon a time (especially for certain Italians), it was FIAT. Today, after Marchionne's intervention, the brand transforms into FCA (pronounced Phi.c.a). A gift for Italians who have nothing else on their minds and certainly can’t forget it. A clever marketing operation. So, after a hearty first course, for a side dish, we have the legal headquarters in the Netherlands and tax domicile in the U.K., along with public money miraculously dissipated. And not even the liquidation for the CEO. A masterpiece! Long live Italy! more
