Red Hot Chili Peppers
Three because not having understood them deeply has taken away my desire to study and discover them. But based on the titles I’ve heard so far, it would be a 2.5. more
Elio e le Storie Tese
Disappointing at Sanremo even as a song. However, in 38 years they've set an inimitable flair to music. And in the end, they carry in the memory of Italian absurdity, definitely more than Checco Zalone. more
Elisa
Is it automatic that while I listen to one of his songs I quickly transform into Germano Mosconi? Or perhaps it's a rare disease? more
Depeche Mode
It annoys me that they are super-ultra-mega overrated, it annoys me what they represent, and I don't like their chart-topping electronic pop. However, I'm not the kind of person who goes silent when they come on the radio. more
The Police
Three iconic characters. Musicians who are far from naive and, after all, also skilled composers. Two songs, Walking on the Moon and Message in a Bottle, practically inimitable and have remained among my favorite tracks. Sting and Summers get on my nerves a bit, but I certainly can't deny their talent. more
CCCP Fedeli alla linea
.....the line is not there. more
R.E.M. -Around The Sun
quite the opposite of the ugly and boring record that many want to pass off. more
Elton John
One of the undisputed kings of melody in the global pop music scene. Tracks like "Your Song," "Candle in the Wind," and "Tiny Dancer" are diamonds that will shine forever in their majestic beauty. more
Johnny Winter -Johnny Winter And Live
the blackest albino of the blacks! more
Painkiller
A trio of defilers of the pentagram who should have been locked up in the maximum security prison San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru. Luckily for them and for us, they were never caught. more
Dodi Battaglia
Refined guitarist with an uncommon technique and touch on the peninsula, essential in the albums of Pooh from 1970 to 1982 and a fine pop rock composer in his excellent solo albums. If I were him, I would have left the Pooh after 1994… more
Cristina D'Avena
Uhmmmm, well, for children's songs you won't find many more effective than her. If you put her to the test on a Houston song, it sounds like listening to an animal being castrated. more
Fiorella Mannoia
The album with Gilberto Gil is decent, nice "Quello che le donne non dicono". As for the other songs, I'll skip them for decency. Especially "Caffè nero bollente". more
James LaBrie -Static Impulse
purchased in an obvious altered mental state, or in a high state of intoxication! more
Genesis
Iconic prog geniuses (how can The Dark Side of The Moon be a brilliant work of its kind, they are brilliant people of their kind), the Gabriel-Collins-Rutherford-Banks-Ha ckett lineup has always produced excellent works, well executed and perfectly arranged. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a niche milestone. more
Fiorello
An honest showman, sometimes unbearable but overall he's quite good. Considering he's also the only comedian who sings not well, but decently. more
Loredana Berté
It's clear that she's not a lady, but not that anyone ever doubted it. more
Patty Pravo
A lady of the beat song who, unfortunately, has more plastic than human skin in her body. more
Mina
A decidedly presumptuous character and a woman who reminds me of the classic somewhat pretentious Swiss socialite. A voice of the Madonna, definitely the best in Italy. Her unreleased songs don’t say much to me, but after all, in the realm of Italian female singing, even rather ugly songs like "Parole parole" win over any "Zingara," any "Pensiero stupendo," and any "Eternità." more
Bob Dylan
He's not my favorite singer-songwriter, but to deny him talent is foolish. It has nothing to do with his vocal ability; it's about how people tend to call artists even those who strike it rich off the backs of those who write for them, even about how to tune the guitar. He is a gentleman among gentlemen artists, plain and simple. more
