the most celebrated and, perhaps, harmonious suite by Yes. Here the band truly acts as a single organism, from Bruford's off-beat passages to Howe's lightning-fast acrobatics to that moment of absolute mysticism when Anderson's clear and ringing voice emerges from the dripping caves to make way for Wakeman's pipe organ. more
One of the peaks of originality in Italian prog, or rather Mediterranean. The late Stratos, a great master of voice, like few others (Leon Thomas, Tim Buckley). more
one of the overlooked groups of prog, unfairly overshadowed by the big names of the underground-progressive scene. A chimera with the head of VDGG and the body of Jethro Tull. more
A rock opera with all the necessary elements but that requires a solid refreshing of high school physics concepts given all the underlying scientific theories. A great variety and quality of keyboards, old and new synths that interact with each other in a truly spectacular way (especially in Progressive Waves). And having the melodic Wakeman and the percussive Emerson together is a bit like seeing De Niro and Pacino acting in the same film. more
a sort of Genesis 2.0 technically evolved - the rhythmic section is truly excellent - with a crystalline production (that even Genesis would have envied for an album like Wind & Wuthering). However, sudden changes in tempo and mood are a bit too confusing and distracting for my tastes. more
I need to update my definition because the image has disappeared: Ingrandisci questa immagine more
If you don't like Jeff Buckley, then it means you are an evil being. more
Famous for being able to make only two expressions, and both of them are shit. Jokes aside, I liked him when he was hitting, but when he started shooting at skyscrapers and making them collapse with a single shot, I lost track of him. However, I really liked him in "Machete." more
A whirlwind of auditory violence. The talking pill is just the beginning of his descent into the underworld... more
II - III - I - IV more
Once upon a time between Bird and Dizzy there was a madman. more
The Black White, an unmistakable voice. more
The title says it all... Immense Thelonious!!! more
1967: Soft Psych/Baroque/Pop concept, released before Tommy and S.F. Sorrow and quickly cast into the shadows. Light, yes, but what does it matter when melodies and arrangements are first class? I envy Mr. Campbell-Lyons in his role as A&R for the legendary Vertigo, and even more for having been well paid by Cobain and company. more

Beyond the timeless Let It Be, it would also be about time to realize what a masterpiece Hootenanny truly is. more
I still remember how hard we used to rock out at Bitch Magnet, Band of Susans, Codeine, and the like concerts in the late 80s/early 90s. A great friend <3 more
In 1964, Zappa founded the Mothers of Invention; two years later, the adventure began. more
Together with Boyzone, the only boy band that can be listened to without too many pretensions. more
How many laughs and how much health it has given, extraordinary in the so-called "erotic" comedies, superior to Villaggio, just watch the film together. The last thirty "do-gooder" years do not erase what was done before. more
