Bob Dylan
"Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We’re idiots, babe
It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves" more
Monstrosity
great band, a bit overshadowed by the giants of the genre, but in the nineties they earned the title of the Dream Theater of Death Metal, not bad I'd say... more
PJ Harvey
"Festivals end as festivals must," the good Dougls P was right, the decline has also touched Polly Jean... more
Silvio Berlusconi
A martyr and founder of a school of thought. more
OVO
they are currently the only duo and Italian group that I really like. they create a chaos as if they were ten, and the vocalist is an extraordinary person. more
Francesco Guccini -...Quasi come Dumas...
Live is awesome, great arrangements that breathe new life into the songs from the '60s. An additional round of applause for the new track "Ti ricordi quei giorni," very beautiful. more
Ricky Martin
It must be an oversight, but somewhere someone wrote "ARTISTA DEL ANO" instead of "ARTISTA DEL AÑO". It must be an oversight. more
Umberto Eco
"Social media give a voice to legions of imbeciles who used to speak only in the bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community. They were quickly silenced, while now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It’s the invasion of the imbeciles." Well, dear Umberto, a more imbecilic world will always be better than the intelligent one you have built with great knowledge and little wisdom. more
Madonna
How is it possible that she has been constantly in the limelight for over thirty years is a mystery I will never be able to explain. I do have a half-idea, though. more
Francesco Guccini -Opera buffa
A classic from his discography. Medieval cabaret, worthy of the best court jesters. "La Genesi" and "Talkin' sul Sesso" above all. 8. more
King Crimson
The kings of rock. I’ll be shockingly cliché, but I can’t think of anything else. more
The Who
Genius and mischief. They are among the giants. The vote is superfluous, their value is priceless. more
Immanuel Casto
HORRIFYING!!!!! more
The Cure -Bloodflowers
Uncle Roberto attempted a return to the darkest shores of his better years, but the result was personally akin to an opulent shot to the balls. more
The Cure -Wish
The last great album from what was once a great band. The curtain falls... more
The Darkness
Funny and beautiful the first one, outstanding the last... In between, two honest albums. The judgment is more than positive. more
Built to Spill
They manage to strum the strings of my soul like few other bands. Albums, tracks, unforgettable guitars, and that positive melancholy filled with life that stirs the stomach and heart: among the peaks of the '90s and one of my all-time favorite bands. more
Madonna
Okay, artistically it might not be top-notch and perhaps not all of his songs are entirely his own work, but in the realm of pop, he is certainly a mega star: few, very few have reached his level of fame, influence, and power. more
Yes -Going For The One
Since that tall guy left, I've been wanting to listen to them again, I don't know why (or yes, I do know...) more
Depeche Mode -Black Celebration
It is with this record, released in 1986, that Depeche Mode change their musical direction; the songs stretch out in length, and the atmospheres and narratives begin to expand. The boys from Basildon, grim English suburb, have grown up, and they prove it in the title track, wisely placed to open an album that deserves the highest praise. The pinnacle is reached with "A Question Of Time," which remains a constant presence in live performances even after all these years...STRIPPED... more
