The Who
Delight! And then try to imagine a "My Generation" played by a perfect and well-mannered drummer... It would be a nightmare. more
Litfiba
Huge until "Litfiba 3," good until "Terremoto," if they had stopped there it would have been much better. more
Built to Spill -There is No Enemy
An intense, melancholic masterpiece with pieces that radiate light to cling to. The sound of a soul that loses, seeks, and finds its way again. more
Nothing But Thieves
I believe in them, a rather enjoyable debut album. more
Giovanni Lindo Ferretti
He has always been a nationalist and autarkic communist, more of a KGB type than a '68 figure, so it's normal that today he feels more at ease with the fascist-Leaguers than with the radical-chic... As for being a Catholic, he has always been one. When it comes to music, not much to say, great both with CCCP and CSI, but I haven't followed him much lately... more
Pino Scotto
A character on the brink of the absurd, he seems to understand little or nothing about music (more nothing than little); when he addresses political or social themes in his barroom populism, 99 times out of 100 he says things that are agreeable... as an artist, I know very little about him, and from what little I’ve heard, it seemed to me that more than singing, he was gasping. more
Litfiba
Extraordinary during the new wave phase of the 80s, with Maroccolo and De Palma, excellent in the 90s with the Latin rock of El Diablo and the harder sound of Terremoto, then they started to play little tricks on each other and the adventure nearly came to an end (though the last album isn't even that bad). more
Zucchero
A strange singer, he has alternated great things (which are still overshadowed by suspicions of plagiarism) with monstrous crap. As a character, he is comparable to an old drunkard from a social club. more
Elio e le Storie Tese
The group I grew up with, impossible not to love... Exquisite technique and always irreverent, brilliant lyrics. They've really gone downhill in recent years, with television appearances and a musical quality that lacks the originality of the past. Still one of the best acts in the Italian scene, though. more
Beppe Grillo
Great comedian, I have always followed him with interest... As a "politician," I share many of his battles (not all), even though he often doesn't seem to be a paragon of consistency. Certainly, if I have to choose, I still prefer him to the other "politicians" out there (it doesn't take much, huh...). more
OneRepublic
Little songs, but listenable little songs. more
Paolo Tarsi
Paolo Tarsi has participated in performances and installations at contemporary art museums and galleries such as MAXXI (Rome), MUSMA (Matera), and the Visual Arts Centre 'Pescheria' (Pesaro). Specializing in composition under Oscar winner Luis Bacalov, he plays with guitarist Paolo Tofani in the AREA Open Project and has worked with musicians from the current electronic, jazz, and rock scenes. His musicological studies have appeared in specialized journals and focus particularly on the music of the second half of the twentieth century, the relationships between music and other art forms, and the influence of avant-garde movements on pop languages. He writes for “Il Giornale della Musica,” "Alfabeta2," and “Artribune.” Since 2010, he has been part of the Argo group, with which he publishes a series of collective novels (over time, personalities such as Edoardo Sanguineti, Marina Abramović, Wu Ming, Michela Murgia, Erri De Luca, Aldo Nove, Paolo Nori, Antonio Rezza, and Flavia Mastrella have collaborated with Argo). In 2015, he published for Trovarobato Parade "Dream in a landscape" - dedicated to John Cage and Marcel Duchamp - in collaboration with the electronic duo Fauve! Gegen A Rhino (with whom he was a guest at the 2015 edition of the roBOt Festival in Bologna) and the album "Furniture Music For New Primitives," which included musicians from groups such as Area - International POPular Group, Calibro 35, Junkfood, Afterhours, Le luci della centrale elettrica, and others. more
Earl Sweatshirt

Tearwave
They have released only two albums: the self-titled debut and especially "Different Shades Of Beauty," which was published in 2008. Jennifer's ethereal, otherworldly voice merges with a melancholic and delicate sound. Velvety Dream Pop that brings them close to the sonic wonders of the unattainable and unforgettable Cocteau Twins...Falling From Grace... more
Ferrero
Another thieving clown, tax evader, and bankrupt in the realm of Italian "football." more
Puscifer -Conditions of My Parole
Great album, intriguing sounds, excellent guests, and the usual magnificent interpretation by Keenan. But it definitely could have taken more risks. more
Diaframma
Ok, Fiumani isn't a monster of guitar technique, and sure, he's not flawless in singing, but his songs shake you from within. more
Ministri
Negramaro 'bad' more
The Pretty Things -S.F. Sorrow
Musically, S.F. Sorrow marks an important point of contact between post-beat experiences and the birth of psychedelia. Ultimately, it's an album that is not only extraordinarily important from a historical perspective but certainly rich, vibrant, magnetic, and multifaceted. An unrepeatable masterpiece that masterfully combines experimentation and melody, prog tendencies and catchiness, enchanting and provoking reflection while ruthlessly reminding us of the transience of human existence, coldly governed by chance. more
