Piggy bank, my love. When I pick up the cover, I look at the CDs with a certain disdain. Disco, too influenced by English prog, but with excellent results. Il giardino del mago is a masterpiece. more
dresses of yesteryear in a modern key. Undeniable masterpiece. more
Incredible flow, charisma to spare, stunning lyrics, and MASTERPIECE albums. Hate it if you want or if you don't like it, no one is stopping you...but failing to recognize his talent should be considered a criminal offense. And stop with the "Oh, but then he sold out and became a commercial phenomenon," especially if your favorite band is called "Metallica." more
Unjustly hated and ridiculed in some damn silly comedy films, a sad ending that should make one think twice before speaking out. more

Honest and “silly” craftsmen of the English hard-boogie scene. The very first period features a remarkable psychedelic sound (but boring to my ears…). Then comes the Hard-blues shift and the beginning of the true golden age, which I believe spans from “Dog of Two Head” to “Quo” in 1974. From “On the Level” onwards, a sort of “minor golden age” begins, and they churn out a long sequence of “automatic” albums, almost all similar to one another (but fun) until at least “Just Supposin’” in 1980. Out of this period, “Blu For You” is definitely worth mentioning. From 1980-81 onwards, the decline begins and lasts until the mid-eighties, followed by a post-Live Aid revival in 1985. The rest is pretty much history. My rating aims to reward little power-pop gems like “Quo” and “Piledriver.” more
The antanomasia of the "avant-garde crooner": a modern-day Frank Sinatra whose warm, baritone voice echoes among the ghosts and ruins of contemporary life. more
