The band of wonders. more
Ivan Graziani -La città che io vorrei
SandroGiacobbe
A more than good debut for Ivan Graziani, still not at the peak of his artistic maturity here, but starting to astonish with songs like 'Colori' and 'A volte in primavera'. more
Fabrizio De André -La Buona Novella
SandroGiacobbe
Moving, epic, monumental, unparalleled. One of the highest points in songwriting, with a truly astonishing De André this time. An unforgettable concept in its sounds and lyrics, where it almost feels superficial to talk about the songs themselves, because, after all, I believe it’s about the 35 most orgasmic minutes I can remember. Even voting for it makes me feel guilty. more
Fabrizio De André -Vol. 3
SandroGiacobbe
Inferior to 'We All Died with Difficulty,' but when it comes to masterpieces like this, comparisons are often wasted, as a record that includes gems like 'La canzone di Marinella,' 'La guerra di Piero,' and the slow 'Amore che vieni amore che vai' cannot possibly be second to anyone. Even though I, being particular, prefer 'La ballata del Michè' to them, which I find one of the most beautiful songs ever written. more

I saw him a little while ago in Arezzo...the classic character that makes you feel fondness for him even though he's a bit of a cliché. "3" he deserves it, come on. more

Vasco Rossi | DeRank™: 0,00

|It is far from being an example to follow in itself [etc. etc. horns etc. etc. degree etc. etc. surrounded by fakes etc. etc.], HOWEVER Fòrte, his mini-project just lent to me, neither too slow Okay nor too rock, "L'altra metà del Cielo" -almost unnoticed!- doesn't let me sink into the abyss at all: thus, in fact, some of his songs become Fòrti or at least listenable. Ignorant and insecure in themselves, the "monogene" fundamentalists, therefore, claim that he is a finished artist at 27 years old [etc. etc.], without knowing properly all the sides in which he would propose himself. And well, then the only true artists who have “finished early” here in Italy are the "cantantini" à la Meneguzzi, the "gruppettini" à la Gazosa, and to tell you the whole truth, a certain Grignani: the usual disillusioned one, even with his valid reasons, would have a poor view of the arts to say that he has solely written blasphemies | p.s. I love "La verità".
SIGNED [and Fòrte] ''A. CELENTANO'' more
Lucio Dalla -Storie di casa mia
SandroGiacobbe
Lucio Dalla's first masterpiece, 'La casa in riva al mare', remains one of my favorites in his repertoire, not to mention 'Itaca' and the fabulous 'Il gigante e la bambina'. It was here that one of the most beautiful stories of Italian singer-songwriter tradition began. more
Sergio Endrigo -La periferia / Aria di neve
SandroGiacobbe
'Air of Snow' remains, after all these years, one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. more
Roberto Vecchioni -Parabola
SandroGiacobbe
I may be crazy, but it's my professor's favorite. Tracks like 'Luci a san siro' or the moving 'Povero ragazzo' stayed in my heart the first time I heard them. 'Lui se n'è andato' is no less. more
Fabrizio De André -Volume 1
SandroGiacobbe
Just 'Caro amore' on the notes of the Concierto de Aranjuez was enough to give immortality to an often overlooked album in the De André discography. If you then add the beautiful 'Preghiera in Gennaio' for the friend Tenco and songs like 'Via del Campo' and 'Bocca di rosa', just little gems, the album becomes eternal. Thank you for these almost 40 minutes, Faber. more
Francesco De Gregori -Alice Non Lo Sa
SandroGiacobbe
The title track is a manifesto of the prince, but how can we not talk about a piece like 'Le strade di lei'? Or the same 'Buonanotte fiorellino', or the magnificent 'La casa di Hilde'... A wonderful debut from a De Gregori in top form... Ah, and 'Il ragazzo'. more
Fabrizio De André -Tutti Morimmo A Stento
SandroGiacobbe
My favorite by De Andrè, too many jewels, I can't prefer another... 'Cantico dei drogati' is a 10, 'Inverno' too, and few remember 'Recitativo', one of the most beautiful things ever written by the Genoese singer-songwriter, a piece of moving depth. It almost seems disrespectful to songs like 'Leggenda di Natale' or 'La ballata degli impiccati' but oh well... more
Francesco Guccini -Stanze Di Vita Quotidiana
SandroGiacobbe
A difficult and perhaps pretentious album, where Guccini engages in particularly challenging lyrics that often come across as pretentious. But if you give me a manifesto of the purest friendship like 'Canzone per Piero', I’ll give you 5 until death. more
Francesco Guccini -Via Paolo Fabbri 43
SandroGiacobbe
Wonderful from beginning to end, okay the poisoned one, but songs like 'Canzone quasi d'amore' or 'Il Pensionato' always move me. more
Francesco Guccini -Amerigo
SandroGiacobbe
Absolute wonder of Guccini. 'Amerigo' is divine, '100, Pennsylvania Ave' is just as good, and 'Eskimo' truly captures the essence of Francesco. 8 spectacular minutes. It's a shame about the other songs not living up to it, a gem. more
Ivano Fossati -La casa del serpente
SandroGiacobbe
Fossati's first masterpiece. No fillers, all beautiful and never predictable, among them the stunning 'Anna di Primavera' with Mia Martini in the background and 'Non può morire un'idea', later sung by Mina as well. The title track is superb too, and shortly after, 'La mia band suona il rock' would arrive. more

Luis Russel and His Orchestra | DeRank™: 0,00

Louis Russell's orchestra is the ultimate expression of "negritude" of those times.
Yes, at that time there was a much more famous orchestra, also steeped in negritude, which was Duke Ellington's orchestra.
Yet Duke's was, how shall I put it, a bit touristy. It was a way to showcase negritude to the whites.
Louis Russell's, on the other hand, was pure negritude... more

Expressive, charismatic, and unjustly underrated as an actor. Films like Barfly and Wild Orchid are examples of how he managed to captivate the screen with his performance. more
