The Strokes
Casablanca is quite a sneaky character, a spoiled bourgeois and a heavy drinker (a prime example of the so-called "beer belly"), I initially liked their first singles quite a bit, but over time they took the usual irreversible path like other colleagues who at the time were seen as the new hopes of the alternative - indie & various crap scene, the constant quotes from "rebel" girls on tumblr & company contributed to making them really annoying to me. more
Francesco Guccini
Many consider him the greatest Italian communist symbol of all time, back in the day one of the few singer-songwriters deemed "true" friends of the people and various nonsense (unlike his colleague De Gregori, who was actually put on trial at the time - almost held hostage by the "people" and accused of being a "sellout"), an extraordinary person open to dialogue (I remember a very pleasant conversation about the disastrous choices of Mr. Natta and the figure of Pomicino; he was cutting), easily found in various hostels in the area, beloved by the patrons of social centers - self-defined "rebels," "proletarians," etc., I recall compliments that would make even the best playboy on this planet envious. more
Adriano Celentano
The dramatic situation that arose with the white duke back in 1999 is a perfect testimony to the futility of this vulgar, stupid, and idolized "jester" only in a shithole country like ours, trivial songs dressed up as works of art, a showman who has never spat on his considerable earnings, infinitely inferior to people like Jannaci, to whom he can only shine the shoes. more
Daniele Silvestri
Mediocre man who hides behind trite double meanings passed off as a great "philosophical" attitude against a system where our beloved swims, from appearances on RTL, Allmusic & company to the usual look of a reborn poet, I saw him on Rai 3 with Fazio last week, a disgusting and obscene show. more

Nickelback
The worst band ever? Maybe, but there's worse out there. Sure, as cliché as they come and repetitive to death, but I remind you there’s something called "backstreet boys"... And I've said it all. more

Francesca Michielin
The least bad among the "new mainstream talents," but still doesn't reach a 2. more
Rob Zombie
He deserves respect for being a metal musician making movies that, in his ignorance, work like a charm! And what about his wife? "La Casa Del Diavolo," I'll say no more. more
Le luci della centrale elettrica
A banal attempt to idolize a new "poet" radical chic for the alternatives of the Emilia Romagna social centers (and beyond), yet another effort to embellish banality by piling up 70's stuff with deliberately dull lyrics. I miss those generations that would hibernate with Masini records playing in the background at this point. more
Bryan Ferry
Once, I found it trashy and unsustainable in its kitsch - a polished decadentism, salon-esque, deliberately straddling the line between a strongly homo image and an arrogant, suffocating elegance, the dictatorship of overcoats and Craxi-style parties, a symbol of a time when the display of well-being (real or not) overshadowed everything else. Over time, I've reevaluated some individual tracks, even the most tear-jerking ones; even after 30 years, you can still smell that wax, polished shoes, and f.. more
Black Flag
They were with Minor Threat the obsession of the Bryan Ferry-loving salon-goers, who hated this kind of music; to take down those kinds of people (today fortunately there are few specimens left, the others have democratized themselves fleeing from the revolutionary obsessions of the time) it was enough to display a photo of Rollins spitting during performances - brawls. more
Focus -Moving Waves
For this reason, it can easily deserve a 5, it's their best album. The Focus excel in short distances for me, and here in particular Van Leer and Akkerman deliver brief instrumentals and truly beautiful and inspired songs with their simple yet incredibly beautiful and romantic melodies. The flute in "Janis", the splendid title track, and especially "Focus II," a wonderful piece, my favorite from the band, has a spine-tingling "emotional" intensity. However, in the case of "Moving Waves," the suite is also very beautiful with spine-tingling melodic hints, and then there's the powerful opening of "Hocus Pocus," a classic. Come on, a 5 is well-deserved here. more
