Led Zeppelin -Presence
It was 1976, and before the release of the album, John Bonham took the stage (drunk) at a Deep Purple concert, grabbed the microphone, and said: "I’m John Bonham from Led Zeppelin, and I just want to announce that we have a new album coming out: it’s called Presence, and, damn, it’s fantastic!" Boy, was the good old Bonzo right!! "Achilles Last Stand" and "Nobody's Fault but Mine," two incredible gems!! more
Knut Hamsun
"Please, God, don’t abandon me, please, Knut Hamsun, don’t abandon me.” This is a "boutade" found in a novel by Fante and it highlights the immense influence he had on subsequent generations of prose writers. A fundamental author ("Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil" are absolute masterpieces that must be read before you die) who has suffered an unjust "damnatio memoriae" for his pro-Nazi positions. more
Green Day -Dookie
I'm sorry for those who criticize it, but I adore this album, undoubtedly the best in the discography; the rest is just so-so... more
Rise Against -The Unraveling
Great start for a great band more
Jim Morrison
Great character and good singer, but he would have been even more legendary if he had been a male model. more
Cocteau Twins -Head Over Heels
My favorite album by the Cocteau Twins, followed by the previous Garlands. Everything else is very nice, but for me the essentials are already here. more
Lostprophets
They are human scum and Ian Watkins is a fucking pedophile. Nothing more needs to be said... more
Gianni Morandi
One of my guilty pleasures that I appreciate the most. I like its material up to the album where there's that shit "Banane e Lampone." My god, what an abomination. more
Joanna Newsom
Her voice isn't exactly one of my favorites, but her talent and the quality of her musical proposal are beyond question. She's also a beautiful girl, which never hurts. more
Jack Black
I’m Giacomo, Giacomo Blacomo. more
The Alan Parsons Project -I Robot
Pop, Funk, Progressive, Psychedelia and even a sprinkle here and there of Disco. A fresh and sparkling album, a "testament" of one of the greatest music producers of all time. more
Robert Redford
The Bill Clinton of Hollywood more
Def Leppard -Hysteria
If out of 12 tracks at least 10 are potential hits, it means you've pulled a masterpiece out of the hat. "Hysteria" was exactly this!! A total of 7 singles were released from the album, incredible!! Tracks like "Animal," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Love Bites," and "Armageddon It" made the group’s fortune, which had already written memorable songs, but none at this level. In my opinion, the peak of their career is precisely the title track, an immense, unique piece, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to!! more
Tortoise
One of the coolest and most innovative groups of the last 30 years (but also of all time...) more
Thin Lizzy
Fundamentals. more
Friedrich Nietzsche
After all, he was the first to say it:
It's not my time yet :) or even:
Avoid the market :))
and yet, once you read Nietzsche, everything else seems bland :) more
Milos Forman -Qualcuno Volò Sul Nido Del Cuculo
One of the most beautiful, emotional, intense, tender, profound, and courageous films I have ever seen. A masterful Nicholson as always, perhaps here in one of his best performances (Oscar-worthy, indeed). I love it and recommend it to anyone who wants to receive a message to reflect on. more
