Vasco Rossi
According to my cousin, a well-known personality in my district: the Kazuki Tomokawa of the Pleb(b)aglia, and she’s not entirely wrong (she), although at this point it’s like shooting fish in a barrel; I, who listen to him from time to time, will keep it very brief: I deem his initial quinquietto of works extremely important for our current musical and cultural history, yet I am still massively moved even now during Gli Angeli (a track from which, in my opinion and that of others, from Bellinzona to Pantelleria, Italy has rightfully been designated as "the country of orders"). Two stars point thirty-eight to Blascoz, and I won’t go further! more
Everything Everything
A group with a personality and sound definitely above average. In some moments, their music feels like "accelerated prog," in others, simple pop of exquisite craftsmanship, and in some, intimate ballads that are never trivial. For me, they are a remarkable group. These first three albums of theirs are almost all consistently excellent. Let's hope they don't lose their way in the future. more
Modà
I believe these are truly the worst of the worst. Pure crap. more
Viggo Mortensen
Sure, Aragon is great and all, but his three roles in Cronenberg's latest masterpieces are timeless for me. more
Stromae
One of the few genius artists today in the field of commercial pop/dance. more
John Wetton
john wetton has left us....last night, January 30, 2017.....what can be said....another milestone of rock has disappeared, and as usual, we feel a little more alone. I didn't know Wetton personally, but having journeyed together these last 40 years, it felt like I truly knew him. My discovery of the musician happened with the listening of Lark's Tongues in Aspic by the renewed King Crimson in 1973. I was struck by the warmth of his voice, and he was a pleasant companion until yesterday.... more
Franco Battiato
Avant-garde artist, great experimenter, and ultimately wise elder of Italian music, throughout his long career he has embraced every genre and style. However, he gains widespread acclaim with easy listening, the authorial pop that he has never denied. more
Dire Straits -Love Over Gold
My favorite by Dire Straits. What gives it that little leap in quality compared to previous albums is mainly the pairing of "Telegraph Road"/"Private Investigations," probably the two best tracks by Knopfler and the band, truly inspired, and let's also add the intense and beautiful title track, with that stunning vibraphone ending. And yes, the sound of the group changes again, with the collaboration of Mike Mainieri on vibraphone and marimba, and especially with the addition of a permanent and official keyboardist in the lineup, Alan Clark, perfectly integrated with Knopfler's guitar and taking on a prominent role. Undoubtedly a great album. more
Angelo Badalamenti
Giving even the maximum is an insult to someone like him. more
Fatboy Slim
The perfect summer DJ, nothing compared to David Guetta. more
Baustelle
In general, they don't drive me crazy. They have a mood that's too melancholic and subdued for my tastes. Essentially, they have that ideal sound for a teenage movie by Muccino. Then I admit that musically they don't seem like newcomers, and they surely had some good insights in their early albums. Definitely acceptable until Amen... and that's no small feat. Criticizing them has become a counter-trend by now. more
Povia
Only for "New World Order." I had given 4 stars three years ago, instead 3 stars for the 2016 album, otherwise 2. more
Barbra Streisand
Adjectives are not enough; the numbers speak for themselves and are staggering. more
Van Morrison
What is there to define? Van the Man. Moreover, he is also known for being the one who is referred to as "oh yes, the singer of the Doors!" in musical conversations with less knowledgeable people. more
Nirvana
Whoever praises them is a fool. Whoever criticizes them is an even bigger fool.
What do I think of this band? They’re terrible on a technical level, but a band that gives you two ruthless albums like Bleach and In Utero is hard to come by. more
Queens Of The Stone Age -Songs For The Deaf
Their masterpiece. An album crafted as a travel record, intended to cover the 168 miles that separate Los Angeles from Joshua Tree park while replaying the songs within three times in a row. Songs for the Deaf is an explosively schizophrenic album, capable of reaching peaks of metal-core madness (the You Think I Ain’t Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire and Six Shooter screamed by Oliveri with his fingers dug into the trachea) and lagoon-like depths of acoustic sweetness (the Mosquito Song marked by a beautiful flamenco guitar arpeggio). Between these two extremes float some of the most beautiful things ever written and performed by QOTSA. more
Gigi Proietti
Immense representative of Romanity. The first memory I have of him is the advertisement for the "Gran Premio, Grandi Marche" of 1995. more
