Nine Inch Nails
For NIN, the 5 is undoubtedly warranted, if only for "The Downward Spiral," an excellent, claustrophobic, and twisted album like few others. And then there's Trent Reznor, who's just cool. more
Green Day
they suck, even Dookie more
The Amboy Dukes
Great band with Ted Nugent on guitar more
Slayer
I've tried to make myself like them, but I just can't... because I recognize their importance in their genre! more
Claudio Lolli
"To live is to weave a canvas of things to fill the long gaps between one moment and another of happiness that the desire to live may bring you, if its short sun will be enough..." more
Jeff Buckley
She didn't have the time needed to mature as a songwriter ("Grace" in its entirety isn't a masterpiece), but that voice definitely deserves the 5 stars! more
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra
In a top 10 of the greatest composers of the 20th century, the name of Duke Ellington undoubtedly stands out. more
Caravan -In The Land Of Gray And Pink
A delicately crafted album of melodic progressive music, flavored with delightful Pop nuances. The minstrel Sinclair welcomes us to Middle Earth, amidst wizards, elves, and gnomes. For everything else, there's "Nine Feet Underground." more
Fabrizio De André -Creuza de mä
David Byrne stated in Rolling Stone magazine that Creuza is one of the ten most important albums in the international music scene of the eighties! (cit. wiki) more
Disney
"If you can't say something nice, then it's better not to say anything at all." (Bambi). The vomit. more
Mark Shelton
In the golden age, he managed to express himself even through vocal lines. Now he is an electric bard who balances evocative phrasing and heroic virtuosity. One of the greatest musicians of all time! more
Kai Hansen
The greatest power metal composer of all time! Instinctive and charismatic voice. And he's an incredible guitarist too! What the hell do you want more? more
Elio e le Storie Tese
They play everything and everything from God; in the Italian scene, they have no equals. They are inspired by Frank Zappa and they personally make me burst out laughing. What else? Oh, Mangoni is an absolute legend. more
The Who
ROCK as it should be: devastating, overwhelming, without too much frills but not too "raw," badass and immortal. The ultimate rock band, "pure and easy." more
Fabrizio De André -Creuza de mä
Perhaps the most important album of the Italian '80s. De André and his trusted Mauro Pagani create a masterpiece of "avant la lettre" world music that transcends all traditional styles of singer-songwriter and Italian music, a magical and timeless work with a taste of sea salt and pesto alla genovese, leading us through a "mulattiera di mare" on a wonderful journey to discover the Mediterranean. Immortal. more
Iron Maiden
I learned about their existence when, at a venue, (I must have been around 11 years old) a cover band of theirs was playing. The first thing I noticed (and the only thing I currently remember from that night) is the fact that the guitarist had Cesareo's customized Ibanez (Elio e le storie tese). more
Jim Morrison
A voice that is a meeting point between the drunken, twisted roars of Beefheart and the more theatrical, lost Buckley. Among the greatest (blues) singers of rock; alongside Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Very sick. more
Judas Priest
Judas Iscariot. more
Ozzy Osbourne
Help! Help! He's that demon I see chasing people who then disappear! HELP!!! more
