A discreet little group...but futile. more
of his extensive discography, in my opinion the best! more
too "garage," raw, bad! more
Incredible musicians, John Lennon and George Harrison, the former a remarkable songwriter, the latter a fantastic guitarist. Ringo Starr, perhaps not the best drummer, but still great. And then there's Sir Paul, the great and eternal bassist: very talented, but now it's pretty unwatchable. Plastic, as charming as a puddle when you're wearing white shoes, and more focused on pseudo vegan activism than on music. In short, 10 for John, 9 for Harrison, 8 for Starr, and 6 for McCartney. Together, they made history, they have made it and will remain so. If only after 50 years since they split, the living ones would stop parading their successes... more
As a solo artist, he's a decent songsinger. His uselessness in the Pooh reunion is immense, and his bass skills are embarrassing. But damn, he did get Viola Valentino... more
a beautiful voice, a guitar, and an excellent repertoire...and what else? more
Luca was gay... but maybe the pigeon was too. more
Singer-songwriter and modest guitarist, little songs from the early 70s. Then after "Si può dare di più" it was a disaster after another. However, "Gloria" is a classic. more

I preferred her musically in her early days. She remains a beautiful voice. more
One of the greatest "music labs" of all time more
A cynical yet realistic depiction of the decline of the French upper bourgeoisie on the eve of war, a metaphor for the social tensions of the time. A work that is still ahead of us in terms of directorial technique and storytelling. more
TWIST..........I won't say more. more
A record that I have always greatly appreciated, although overall it is a bit inferior to their previous four works. I really like the band's desire to experiment with styles and sounds they had never explored before. The desire to renew themselves leads to a playful approach to genres outside their usual range (the Funk and James Brown homage in "The Crunge", which is amusing, and the Reggae of "D'Yer Mak'er" that I really enjoy oh) as well as composing two of their absolute best tracks, "The Rain Song" and "No Quarter," which venture into sonic territories never before explored by the band, and the results are applause-worthy, breathtaking. The rest consists of songs that more canonically fit their style, with the fabulous "Over The Hills and Far Away" and the lovely "Dancing Days" standing out. more
I don't think he can even be defined as a "singer-songwriter." To me, he seems more like the sound expansion of some aphoristic minoblog/social network that posts "real life" episodes and oozes mediocrity, posturing, and banality. After all, someone who acts cool because he feels like an artist a notch above the rest and then collaborates with J-Ax, Nina Zilli, and other charlatans is, intellectually and commercially, just yet another piece of garbage to be ignored. more
My favorite Italian group from when I was a kid. Loved them until "Fuori." I still haven't figured out if they started to suck afterward or if I just grew up. more
Their music has aged beautifully up to this point. Great craftsmen of pop with new-wave nuances in the first album and refined yet powerful and incisive pop in the following works. Personal ratings:
-The Hurting 7.5
-Songs from the Big Chair 8.5
-The Seeds of Love 7
-Elemental 6.5
-Raoul and the Kings of Spain... Never listened
-Everybody Loves a Happy Ending 7 more
a quite orthodox performance for Dylan, nothing to sneeze at more
