Fabrizio De André -Non Al Denaro Non All'Amore Né Al Cielo
Every time I choose a De André album, by the end of the listening I always think it’s the best of all. An investigation into the lesser society, that of the losers and their hopes. The jones player, the only "positive" character, closes the album and conveys the meaning of so much poetry. One might then ask about the album....."you who sell it, what do you buy that is better?" more
Chicago -The Chicago Transit Authority
Aside from my personal admiration for this group, this album has everything and everything feels new as if pieced together. A masterpiece. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi -Storia di un Minuto
Masterpiece. Since the release of this album, Italian music will never be the same. more
Ride -Grasshopper
The EP that gives meaning to the existence of the Ride. From the magnificent arrogance of "Leave Them All Behind," through the refined undulations of "Chrome Waves," to the masterpiece of psychedelic rock, "Grasshopper." more
J.R.R. Tolkien
Excuse me, first of all, I want to say that I’m not a scholar and I haven’t read many books in my life (modesty can be a virtue in some cases). But I still want to share my thoughts and ask you a question: do you think Tolkien is a great writer???? I’m almost finished reading The Lord of the Rings with great effort; in my opinion, being extremely descriptive and having invented a literary genre doesn’t necessarily mean being a talented writer. I don’t want to stir up a hornet’s nest, but honestly, I’ve read much more interesting books. more
Ricchi e poveri
The Italian ABBA. Obvious but I couldn't resist. more
Björk
Bleahh, how disgusting.... this girl takes herself too seriously. more
Dire Straits
They were great, Mark Knopfler, Mr. Guitarist, Tunnel of Love sends shivers down my spine. more
Litfiba
the best of Italic rock from the 80s, then ups and downs, more downs.
p.s. pulù gets on my nerves more
Metallica
artistically finished since the black album, even though they never drove me crazy in their best years: ride the lightning, master of puppets. I definitely prefer Testament even if they copied them; still the inventors of thrash metal, who then end up releasing stuff like lulu... mah more
Camel
Camel are a cornerstone of classic prog, perhaps less known than King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, and many others. I really like them. more
David Bowie
In the past, I was a fan of his, but now I am not for various reasons..... Even though Scaruffi (music critic) definitely exaggerated in his criticism, I can't say he is entirely wrong.... Many disasters, many masterpieces, which perhaps wouldn't be without certain collaborators. R.I.P. REST IN PEACE DAVID. more
Boredoms -Wow 2
Maybe one day it will be regarded as the most beautiful punk album of the '90s. more
J-Ax
the little ball so beloved by that little creature called coprophagus more
Pink Floyd
they are (or were) the history of rock and contemporary music, precursors of experimental music, space rock, and progressive. Milestone albums, The Dark Side of the Moon, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Meddle, etc. Fantastic live performances, especially those from the '80s, well played and with excellent audio quality, thanks to the sound engineers (Alan Parsons is truly great, even with his future project). Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned, talking about studio albums (from Wish You Were Here onwards), I just can't digest them; they're too slow, redundant, and depressed. Still, they made history. more
Radiohead
in my humble opinion, Radiohead are, as often happens in the world of rock and beyond, a frightfully overrated band. Not long ago, I listened to The King of Limbs, an abominable thing. more
Trans Am -TA
Oh, guys! This album is despised by critics and ignored by the public. BUT I LOVE IT! more
Melvins
Band of 5 (with about twenty fewer records) more
Trans Am
What can I say, after delivering a handful of masterpieces, and seeing that practically no one cared about them, they even got tired of making more. Can't blame them. Listen to Mogwai and Sigur Ros, you deserve it. more
