Dire Straits -Making Movies
The tasty intro of "Tunnel of Love" marks the beginning of a certain shift in the band's sound compared to the previous two albums. Keyboards and piano replace the rhythm of David Knopfler (but not yet with a fixed and "official" keyboardist). In my opinion, the beautiful "frontier" atmospheres are lost, but the music remains, as always, enjoyable, always good to be revisited from time to time, even without a track that particularly stands out compared to the others (perhaps "Expresso Love" is my favorite). Of the first four, it is the least beautiful, but it remains more than a decent rock/pop album. more

What else is there to add? more
Mina
Undisputed queen of song and the great era of Italian variety television, still very young, she turned her back on her audience by releasing records for over forty years that only Mollica stubbornly insists on calling masterpieces. more
Radiohead -A Moon Shaped Pool
When it is said to have drained everything, to get to the core, to the heart, not having to explain anymore, not having to justify. Like at the end of a suffering. more
Zucchero
Okay, he may be a plagiarist, annoying, an asshole if you like... but seeing one of his live concerts is definitely an experience you won't forget. He's a crazy wild man. Zucchero: VIDEO INTEGRALE insulti e lanci di bottiglie

B 52's -Cosmic Thing
I see colorful clothes, 50s American housewife hairstyles, everything sparkles but like in a slow replay, and meanwhile underneath it throbs and beats, beats and throbs, it shakes your knees, you have to get up, you have to rotate following the melodies and at the same time keep the rhythm. Orgasm. more
KISS
I still haven't figured out why they became so famous. Probably because of the image, certainly not for the music. The classic Greatest Hits band and that's it. more
UFO
Absolutely underrated group in the hard rock scene of the '70s. The period with Schenker (but not just that, they produced great albums until the mid '80s) is of very high quality. more
PHIL COLLINS -...BUT SERIOUSLY
Here, I believe it's the last decent thing ever done by Collins as a solo artist in his career (in absolute terms, there's also "We Can't Dance" by Genesis, which is also "decent") and definitely more enjoyable than the terrible predecessor. The more upbeat tracks are, in their way, nice and fun; there's "Another Day in Paradise," harmless but with a catchy melody, and then, well, there are unfortunately 5-6 awful ballads, and there's nothing to be done about it. Let's all throw the rotten apples at Steve Winwood for playing the Hammond on "All of my Life." Anyway, it's listenable, if you're easy to please and as long as you enjoyed at least the first two of Phil's solo works. more
Dire Straits -Communiqué
Well, if it really has to be considered a copy of the debut, then in my opinion it is the best copy. A great album, I find it more cohesive, inspired, and with overall better songs compared to the debut. "Once Upon a Time in the West," "News," "Lady Writer," "Portobello Belle," "Single-Handed Sailor" are all among the best songs of Knopfler's group and they are truly very beautiful tracks; in general, however, they are all good pieces and there's not a single one that bores me or that I find poorly done. Their last album with the rhythm section of David Knopfler and the first with piano and keyboard parts. more
Gerald Rafferty, meglio conosciuto come Gerry Rafferty (Paisley, 16 aprile 1947 – Bournemouth, 4 gennaio 2011), è stato un cantautore scozzese.
In 1978, Gerry Rafferty wrote a song, the immortal Baker Street, which talks about how a man spends his life trying to defeat a beast that gnaws and digs inside his head, dragging him into a degradation made up of falls and false hopes. more
Lowlow
It may be a hassle, but "redemption" is a fantastic album. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -The Good Son
That piano in "Sorrow's Child" (climbing higher and higher between verses) desperately searching for redemption… more
Morgan
A respected artist. It's a shame that his television persona, while it has earned him a lot, has also caused him to lose a great deal of credibility. What a pity. more
Jack Nicholson
"He has reached 80 years old, now he wants to enjoy some rest after years of hard work..." (the friend) Peter Fonda. This is where the career of one of the most brilliant actors of all time comes to an end, Jack says stop to the films. Thank you for everything, Joker... more
Paul Chambers
Groove, technique, perfect intonation. The greatest post-bop double bassist. more
Rise Against -Revolutions Per Minute
It won't be pure melodic hc like Pennywise or Satanic Surfers, but it stands out with its melodic vein hybridized between the past and the present. Many great tracks together for their best album. Too bad about the last albums being too bland. more
Hideo Nakata -Dark Water
A cornerstone of the Japanese horror genre and Eastern horror in general, followed by the usual and similarly less satisfying U.S. remake by Walter Salles. The work emerges from the not-new collaboration between director Hideo Nakata and horror, thriller, and noir author Koji Suzuki. The 2002 film stands out for its gloomy atmospheres, the sparse settings of the urban outskirts, and its ghostly themes. more
Genesis -Trespass
Already a masterpiece, despite the less elaborate arrangements, the compositions possess a delicacy, a grace, and a lyricism that are at times overwhelming. more
Forgotten Tomb -Springtime Depression
Black metal. Depressive black metal. Italian doom metal of your time, from Piacenza. Albums with dark and rarefied atmospheres, cold and agonizing, to which other excellent works will follow. Herr Morbid conceals one of the most pleasantly unhealthy minds in the local metal scene. Recommended for all lovers of the genre. more
