Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
Well... honestly and personally, I've always heard very little about both PFM and Area. On par with Orme. more
Nas -Illmatic
I would give him 100 stars. more
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso -Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
A little less "mature" than the following one but still splendid: RIP and Il Giardino del Mago are the first masterpieces. more
Frank Zappa -The Grand Wazoo Orchestra
Among the first CDs I bought by Frank Zappa, "The Grand Wazoo" is worth mentioning. It's hard to place this album within a framework (by now we are used to F.Z); certainly, it is one of his most serious works and for that reason, it is the one I appreciate the most: very instrumental jazz rock. A true masterpiece, you won't regret it! more
Sigur Rós -( )
eerie fjords as magnificent as they are, pristine glaciers, endless lava fields to get lost in, magnificent waterfalls adorned with rainbows... this is Iceland, and if you close your eyes while listening to their children, it will feel like you're flying over it! Enjoy more
Chuck Mangione -An Evening of Magic: Live at the Hollywood Bowl
for those who want to approach this wonderful musician, an essential and comprehensive live experience more
Edoardo Bennato
4 because I remember so many of his memorable songs and not 5 for the horrible, ungrammatical, unbearable, and croaky "Io per Te Margherita." The character is definitely amusing, simple, and eclectic. more
Bee Gees
Probably those who, like or even more than the Beatles, brought the choirs and falsettos to new heights in pop. Then came disco, the decline, and everything you want… but they are unforgettable. They are simply unforgettable. more
Howlin' Wolf -The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions
The album "tana libera tutti" to always keep outside for moments of indecision! Fantastic! more
Fabrizio De André -Storia di un impiegato
one of Faber's albums that I kept on the sidelines for so long. Clearly reevaluated, today after 45 years the idea of the bourgeois bomber intrigues me! more
Charles Mingus
...his bastard double bass was the rifle with which he commanded his powerful music, a cocktail of sweetness, screams, and "Freedom". more
Frank Zappa
...a genius for all the qualities a musician must possess, the best, a limitless creative intelligence, and an immense guitarist. more
Europe
The problem is that there are some who label them a metal group. I mean, this is shamefully commercial pumped-up rock, catchy but best buried in 2018. more
Whitney Houston
Probably one of the best female voices in history, unfortunately lent to the interpretation of a repertoire of chart-topping pop songs, then consumed by cocaine and by some idiot who used her as a toygirl. more
Ed Sheeran
Singer-songwriter like many others, as a guitarist he gets outperformed by any singer, with decent but monotonous writings and commercial jingles. In short, a nice fake priest with a record deal from the usual Irish mafioso. more
Yazoo
Classy new wave-infused synth pop. Nice! more
Amedeo Minghi
Long live the little trotters! However, this is a bit of a hassle for my tastes. more
Jules Laforgue
"Oh! banal fate! Everything shines and then passes, it lures us with the True and Love; and so we shall go until in turn the earth bursts into the heavens, without a trace remaining." more
Joel & Ethan Coen
Truly strong. Authors of often original, interesting stories.
THE BIG LEBOWSKI is their absolute masterpiece.
Just below, more or less on par: MILLER'S CROSSING, FARGO, THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE.

However, the most Coen-esque film of all is BARTON FINK. more
Pink Floyd
It's the Floyd, damn it!
And to think that, excluding a few recent works, they've never gotten it wrong in my opinion. more
