Osibisa -Osibisa
Very interesting album, found for a few coins not long ago. I only knew them by name, I still have to delve into it properly, but it captured me right away after just a few listens. For more information about the band, I turn to you, as you will surely know more... more
Van Morrison
So Great this Lord that every definition is, by force, reductive. I hate every type of classification attempt (stupid and useless farces by half-hearted critics) but thinking of this man, I can't help but recall a phrase from boxing or martial arts: "pound for pound"; there he is among the greatest of all time "pound for pound" or to put it "in music," regardless of genres. My soul can only continue to thank him. more
P.O.D.
Phenomenal, among the best in their field more
The Black Keys
Deadly shot. El Camino speaks for itself and "When the lights go out" by Rubber Factory is the piece that Eddie Vedder has always wanted to make. more
Canned Heat
Ugly, dirty, heavily drugged, but damn, what blues they played. Passion that penetrated your soul and musicians who were quite underrated, all excellent; Wilson, Vestine, Mandel, Fito, Taylor, and that crazy Grizzly who sang. Seven truly remarkable albums! Then after Wilson's death, the obvious descent into madness and substances. Always with me. If you want just a hint, listen to them and watch them (ugly ugly but beautiful) at Monterey and Woodstock. more
Robert Plant
How much I adore these guys who have been the soundtrack to my life, only I know. With Robert, I had a "conflicted relationship" because I couldn't understand his desire to distance himself from the legendary rock band that brought him eternal glory. With time, he was right. The Led Zeppelin have been done. He wanted and wants to play his music without absurd comparisons. A fantastic person, the hippy of Led Zeppelin. He turned down I don't know how much vile money for records or reunion tours. A great friend of Bonzo. One "scene" to understand his humility and his passion for music: Lenny Kravitz (who adored Plant and the Zepp) saying he doesn't have an opening act for the tour and him saying, "What's the problem, man? I'll come!" ... This is Robert. And his emotion at the Kennedy Honors?! Pure legend. Thank you for everything! more
Mudhoney -Superfuzz Bigmuff
And the road was paved... more
New Found Glory
Pop punk is the evil of the world, but I had 15 years too. more
KISS
From the debut album until '77, they maintained a certain dignity, but from "Dynasty" to the first half of the '90s, they only managed to release mediocre and uninspired records, despite having the great Eric Carr behind the drums. What comes next are just clever marketing moves. An extra point for "Alive!" which is simply history. more
Andy Summers
Genius, of the three he was the least charismatic, as if anyone else could take his place, but in the end, it was all him playing the music of the Police. more
Bad Company -Straight Shooter
Better this or their debut from the year before? I don't know, both excellent, great hard rock without too many frills, simple but effective. Their last great album, at least for me... more
Deacon Blue
Great, "Dignity" is a gem. more
Mott the Hoople
Just two more definitions for one of the few truly cult groups of all seventy. What genre did they play?! Everything! Tight rock, pieces later defined as glam, beautiful ballads (in the splendid sense of the word), and then a certain Ian Hunter, a Master if there ever was one! Fantastic! more
Free
A band that sometimes, guiltfully, is forgotten. Rodgers and Kossoff are fantastic, the kid Fraser on bass and the impeccable Kirke on drums. Paul's voice tears at the soul and the other Paul's guitar is a sharp blade. Dry sound, basic without pretensions. Primordial hardrockblues! Heroin will end it all before any disputes arise. more
Thin Lizzy
If Lynott has been dedicated a statue in his Dublin, there must be a good reason for it. Phil was a groundbreaking musician, and apart from a couple of albums towards the end (Chinatown, Renegade), Lizzy never released a bad record. Above all, he was a person of immense sensitivity with a teenage life that was certainly not easy. I tend to go against the tide, as I love the first three albums, the ones with the trio, which have a much less hard sound and are more folk/traditional. They deserve to be rediscovered, in my opinion. And Downey, a very underrated drummer on those three albums, gives his best. more
Eric Adams
One of the most beautiful and powerful voices in the Heavy scene, the band she is part of is certainly quite debatable, but just listening to the performance of "Nessun Dorma" at the Gods Of Metal in 2002 is enough to realize that we are facing a singer with the so-called. more
Decibel
Lozza in power! Anyway, they were a breath of fresh air for Italian music back then. Today, I don't know. more
Le Orme -Collage
Indelible mark in the Italian music discography more
Gianfranco Marziano
One of the greatest living geniuses. The problem is that almost everyone doesn't realize it, not even he. more
Decibel
Noblesse Oblige! The grand return after 35 years of Ruggeri and Co.! more
