Chrome -Blood on the Moon
The ultimate soundtrack for a dark science fiction film. more
Paul Young -No Parlez
He has always defined himself as very Black and R&B, but I really didn't get it!
Pop disco that's barely a 3. Some bass lines are commendable. more
Sonic Youth -Daydream Nation
I love Evol and Sister, where experimentation and inspiration blend perfectly. Daydream Nation, on the other hand, is a cold album where experimentation gives way to a unique and flawless yet familiar technique, and the excess of awareness and control stifles inspiration. more
The Stooges -Funhouse
The fiercest rock record of the '90s. more
Oneida -Rated O
Outstanding summary of the previous chapters (of the history of rock) more
Miles Davis -On The Corner
Miles Davis Krautrock version (a year after Tago Mago by Can) more
GarageVentiNove
One of the seminal bands for Lombard authorial alternative rock! more
Lucio Battisti -Il Nostro Caro Angelo
The most beautiful album of the Mogol period. more
The Kinks
They didn't get one wrong from '64 to '70. Hats off. more
Constantines -Shine a Light
Without a doubt, their best work where their two major influences, Fugazi and Springsteen, blend perfectly to create something original while being clearly derived. more
Jaco Pastorius -Jaco Pastorius
the God of bass. How wonderful! more
Jethro Tull -This Was
a spectacular debut....it didn't take much to understand the potential of the band that for at least another decade will be releasing high-quality albums. more
Prince
A true giant of our time. He managed to blend black, rock, funk, and soul into an irresistible and unique mix, and it is striking how he has been removed from collective memory after the 80s and early 90s. Not even his recent passing has done him justice, considering he was once one of the brightest and most influential pop stars. He even annoyed me back in the Purple Rain days, but I was just a little less than a teenager... now, of course, I appreciate him. Four and a half stars would be the "true" rating, as he had that "Zappaesque" flaw of churning out a bunch of useless, unfocused albums just for the sake of releasing. Otherwise, it would be a full 5 stars. more
Talking Heads -More Songs About Buildings And Food
a lively and energetic album, with minimal arrangements, and that’s precisely its charm. more
Virgin Steele -Noble Savage
Jack Starr is kicked out of the band, and Defeis can finally express his passion for "barbaro-romantic" music. Personally, I still consider him somewhat immature, with a few songs that are too simplistic (Rock Me, I'm On Fire, Fight Tooth And Nail), but the rest of the album is simply magnificent. A great prelude to the albums that will follow, but above all to the masterpieces of the '90s. more
Marillion -Made Again
yet another demonstration of the skill of Marillion live. A concert dedicated to the early albums of the H. era, Brave in particular. more
elton john -Rock of the Westies
In the 70s, it surely forged something better. An atypical disco compared to the previous ones, a bit thrown together. more
Procol Harum -Home
the Procol album you don't expect. Whisky Train by 5 more
Renato Zero -Trapezio
among the best if not the best of Zero. Sequins and glitter in disco style, transgression, but also many social and ethical themes. more
