The Allman Brothers Band -Idlewild South
Second album, and second masterpiece... No more words needed!! more
Steve Earle
Everything that can be defined as "Americana" at its highest level. A brilliant singer-songwriter and a great rocker. more
Allman Brothers Band -Live at Fillmore East
Does this immense Masterpiece really need a definition?? more
Jovanotti
Bearable as a lizard in your underwear... more
Les Rallizes Dénudés
Mizutani's solos are among my all-time favorites. more
Xavier Rudd
Folk, roots, reggae, psychedelia, hypnotic voice, exceptional multi-instrumentalist who makes everything seem so simple and natural. more
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Together with the great Pierre Boulez, the most important composer of the 20th century. more
Manilla Road -The Blessed Curse
...Paolo Girardi, period. I won't add anything else. more
Marillion
Even today, especially those from the Fish era, I can't quite process them. Maybe I'm just too...snobbish! more
Mineral
For me, the best emo band of that time. I find The Power of Failing to be superior even to the best works of Sunny Day Real Estate. more
Roberto Vecchioni -Samarcanda
In closing of the beautiful trilogy inaugurated a couple of years earlier. The professor here shifts to a greater intimacy from a lyrical point of view: the magnificent final trio ("For an Old Child," "Song for Sergio," but above all "The Last Show") is the most striking example of this. The title track marks his first major success, thanks to the Crazy Horse. more
Roberto Vecchioni -Elisir
One of the most memorable works of Italian singer-songwriter music, on par with the previous one. A blend of poetry, literature, and social commitment. 10 gems, each one better than the last. Musically at exceptional levels (just think of "Velazquez," almost a tribute to Neil Young). Arthur Rimbaud. more
Roberto Vecchioni -Ipertensione
An absolute masterpiece of Italian songwriting. Six magnificent and poetic tracks, the result of an incredibly inspired professor. There it remains, "Tutta la vita in giorno," a fun and charming experiment, but it does not detract at all from the value of the album. History. more
Pino Scotto
Often inconsistent and extremely critical, although many things sway reason to his side. His music doesn’t please everyone. But he has shown that he can compose decent and listenable stuff. De Gustibus... more
Francesco Guccini -Stanze Di Vita Quotidiana
Among the most sophisticated of Guccini's albums. It occupies an uncomfortable position in the discography of this artist, namely between Radici and Via Paolo Fabbri 43. Nevertheless, Canzone delle osterie di fuori porta has made history and remains one of the artistic peaks of Francesco's production... more
Running Wild -Death or Glory
Just listening to the introduction is enough to catch a whiff of salty air! Just Riding The Storm makes you want to buy it. Then, besides the other gems, Battle of Waterloo kicks off the process of patriotic themes that will further develop from Masquerade onwards. A must-have! more
Gamma Ray -Land Of The Free
The best power metal album ever! Listening to it makes you think that Hansen made the right choice in leaving Helloween! His musical project remains superior to the early albums of his Teutonic peers! You have to listen to believe! more
David Bowie -Outside
Wonderful!!!! more
Pino Scotto
I had called him the Italian Ozzy Osbourne... well, I'm going from a 3 to a 2. I'm lowering ratings in general. more
Bal-Sagoth -Battle Magic
Howard's writings revisited in full symphonic extremism. The most beautiful keyboard works ever written by this band. more
