Francesco Guccini -Radici
The roots sought at the borders of memories, to understand the soul that resides within each of us. Seven memorable tracks, beautiful, textually impeccable, scattered among youthful loves ("Incontro"), inner reminiscences ("Piccola Città," title track), and existential themes (the Portoghese Girl, the Twelve Months, the Old Man and the Child). There remains the political gallop of the Locomotiva, one of his most unconventional songs that, ironically, has become one of the most popular. Masterpiece. 9.5. more
Sigur Rós
They elude any categorization. Music to be lived more than listened to. Ethereal. more
Luciano Ligabue
The one who brought true rock to Italy!!! more
Mogwai
Magmatic and evocative. Compositions akin to mantras that envelop, enchant, and when you least expect it, strike hard at the strings of the soul. A discography of true champions, all works of the highest level. more
Yes -Fragile
Heterogeneous indeed, but damn, the Bruford-Squire rhythm section is simply stunning: "Roundabout" and "Heart of Sunrise" are two gigantic suites. For me, it reaches a five (although "Close to the Edge" can't be beaten). 8.5. more
Doug MacLeod
A complete singer and musician, much better than many more famous and well-known blues artists. I reached this conclusion after listening to about 160 tracks, and only 3 of them I found not completely satisfying. That's why I rated it 5. more
Voivod
Unique and immense; Thrash Metal in continuous evolution. For over thirty years, proud to carry their musical creed in every corner of the globe, without any "commercial" concessions. Totally underground...WAR AND PAIN... more
Pisano
"I have nothing against the people of Pisa. Also, because if I did, I would use it." more
The Pretenders -Learning to Crawl
Excellent reimagining of American tradition filtered through garage, new wave, and pop rock. Definitely their best and most aggressive album, although the final ballads almost risk messing everything up. "middle of the road" is worth a career. more
Debaser
A site where the worst kind of people are present, from leftist intellectuals to crypto-fascist grillini to apathetic anarchists. There are really very few honest people; those who listen to true rock are scarce, and most people here prefer to indulge in convoluted stuff and choose to be opportunistic or idle. This is why I respect people like RIBALDO, honest and human. more
Jethro Tull -Thick As A Brick
Before the refined theatrical composure of "A Passion Play" took shape, Tull brought to life this carefree and folkloric masterpiece. A lively concept divided into two parts of over 20 minutes each. The instruments emerge one after another, intertwining and surfacing one by one, while the music continues relentlessly, until the last dreamy acoustic riff. ART. more
AC/DC
With Bon Scott, they were the perfect soundtrack for when alcohol makes you lose all dignity at a first-year high school boys' party. To be avoided in all other cases. more
Whitesnake
Superlatives!!!!! They deserve to be in the Olympus of rock for their astounding career! more
Donovan
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!! more
Ac/Dc -Live
"AC/DC Live, recorded on the band's 1990-91 world tour, encompassing twenty-one countries and one hundred and fifty-three shows." This is how it reads in the internal booklet of the double CD; very simply, a stratospheric live performance, where the band plays all the best and most acclaimed songs that have marked the history of Hard Rock in recent decades. It starts with "Thunderstruck" and culminates in the "cannon blasting" finale of "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)"...ESSENTIAL... more
Matteo Renzi
Our Prime Minister, for better or for worse, is someone I respect for what he does and for his role, which deserves the utmost respect since he is at the head of a nation. In short, a good Politician. more
David Gilmour
Madonna, what a drag!!!!! His solos put you to sleep, he plays in such a filthy way and people say he’s a good guitarist. Good guitarists are, just to name a few: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Patrick Rondat, and Michael Angelo Batio. THOSE ARE GUITARISTS WITH BALLS. more
RIBALDO
a jerk more
Sepultura
They compete with Metallica for the worst downward trajectory in the history of rock. more
