"What went down" is a great album; the rest didn't excite me too much, unfortunately for them, the band is among the pioneers of the hipster movement. more
Among various changes in frontmen, the most remembered phase, sometimes celebrated (by the old fans of the so-called Madchester phenomenon), is that of "Life," a truly excellent album that is a mix of the sounds brought back to prominence by Stone Roses & company, very 60's. It’s a shame it was a very short-lived experience, and like many other bands from that era, they got lost along the way. The live "21790" is also fantastic (if you can manage to find it). more
A band that I have tried countless times to listen to, which is difficult for me because of Mrs. Shaw's shrill and terrible voice; maybe one day I'll find the courage.. who knows. more
How to rape a microphone. more
Well, I don’t understand all these negative votes. They may not be the Smiths, but they’ve produced some pleasant tracks as well. more

We are not just an indie-rock band.
The National is a way of being, a way of being in the world, a way to appreciate the beauty of this world. more
Probably Leone's masterpiece, an extraordinary film. The Triello remains one of the highest points in the history of cinema (if not the highest). more
Splendidly arranged pop disco, and of course Mr. Cross knows his stuff. It's a shame about the song structures, clichéd and sometimes boring. more
What an extraordinary band. A mutation of sound and intent that has few equals in the history of music. The last three albums are to be devoured. more

But where are they when Sanremo isn't happening? Do they exist or do they only appear for one week a year? But not just him: Ron, Mietta, etc. They get mummified as soon as the festival ends; there's no other explanation. more

Debut of Wet Willie, a beautiful blend of soul, funky, rock, and southern blues. A band that absolutely deserves to be reassessed and rediscovered... more

Some nice little tunes, some gems (especially "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Blaze of Glory") and a whole lot of mediocrity. more
Funny and bone-breaking, even though I prefer Mötley Crüe. more
