It's not their fault that "Another One Bites the Dust" is in the Dacia Duster commercial. Freddie is a rock legend, Brian May has a unique touch, and Roger and John, despite giving a hard time to technicalities, have their own skills that can only belong to them for Queen's songs. Queen have been, are, and will always be. more
Great singer-songwriter, a bit of a ragtag musician but definitely a performer of excellent caliber. Dieci ragazze or Balla Linda I think will enter history for their ugliness, and I don't understand what importance to give them considering 29 settembre, Acqua azzurra Acqua chiara, Mi ritorni in mente, or Emozioni. Overall, an excellent pop alchemist, inappropriate to compare him with De Andrè, Dalla, or Fossati. more
Poet, storyteller, unusual and creative musician, surrounded by equally talented instrumentalists, light-years ahead of Dylan (to whom I still gave a 5) or Cohen (another poet with pen and guitar)..."Just try to have a world in your heart and you can't express it with words, and the daylight divides the square between a village that laughs and you, the fool, who passes by, and even the night doesn't leave you alone: the others dream of themselves and you dream of them"... more
All the anti-sorcerers say he would have ideally died in 1986, when L'ormonauta is one of the most beautiful songs {o venute mèjjo, as he would say} of the 0s, just so. more

The classic pseudo-proletarian. Listening to what is supposed to be, or at least defined as, his best album, I personally found nothing particularly 'special,' except for a decent production aimed at making bearable an annoying little voice that sings trivial lyrics written specifically for the big concert on May 1st. more
A good reviewer whose excessive passion for the Beatles and Bowie tends to make him forget, all too often, that there have also been other bands that, although a bit less famous, deserved at least a mention. more
a pop turn now underway, but overall a pleasant disco. more

A record that has fascinated me since the very first listen and introduced me to a new world of listening. This is where my passion for prog began, also captivated by the world of overdubbing that allowed a single artist, a multi-instrumentalist, to create a whole work by himself, thus completely transferring his idea onto the record, without intermediaries. Something fantastic that, at the time, represented something particularly creative. Now, with digital programs, everything is simpler, but back then, with magnetic tapes and multitrack recorders (the first demo version, if I’m not mistaken, was on a TEAC 4-track), it must not have been a straightforward task. Even today, when I listen to it, it still conveys to me the same feelings I had back then... and it has been many years! more
