Bob Dylan
The most significant artist of the '60s. Just to say, Woodstock was right in his backyard and he was so badass that he didn't even go. more
The Beach Boys
Surfin' USA is a blatant plagiarism of Sweet Little Sixteen by Chuck Berry. more
ZZ Top -Tres Hombres
Their peak for sure... Citing "La Grange" as the best track on the album (and perhaps of their career) is a must, but other songs like "Jesus Just Left Chicago," "Precious And Grace," etc., also justify the purchase of the record... more
ZZ TOP -ZZ TOP'S FIRST ALBUM
A very good debut, this "First Album" by ZZ Top... Sure, not all the tracks shine with originality, but the final result is more than commendable... more
Queen -Hot Space
Bah, I was expecting a better memory. Boring. The only thing I’ll remember is "Under Pressure". more
Whitesnake
I'm not too bad, I'm listening to them. more
Pavement -Wowee Zowee
The last gem of an orgasmic triptych. more
Saint Vitus
I just wanted to tell you that in person they are like tyrannosaurs. more
Robert Plant
Remembered for being the protagonist of the famous "Plant vs Zombie" more
AC/DC -Flick Of The Switch
Album that already shows the signs of the slight decline that will hit the band in the following years (excluding "Razors Edge"). However, it holds up well despite not having a true standout track within it. more
AC/DC -For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
It doesn't stand up at all in comparison to its predecessor (Back in Black), but it is definitely an enjoyable album with some important tracks (the title track and "Let's get it up" above all). more
Stone Gossard
Green River, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Temple Of The Dog, Brad: could be considered one of the founders of Grunge. Stone has always lived this important role in the shadows, in the background; never in the spotlight. Exemplary...BLACK... more
Led Zeppelin
Everyone is fantastic, for heaven's sake. But if it weren't for that guy over there on the guitar... more
Muse
Excellent musicians with a great frontman, definitely one of the most inspired bands around today. They would be a weak 4 if it weren't for that Origin of Symmetry in their resume... more
Linkin Park
In my opinion, they deserve recognition for this, and that’s why I give them 4 stars: for introducing rock and that slightly more refined part of music to many 12-year-olds back then, including myself, of course. If right now in my stereo Jimmy Page is playing and before that it was James Brown, it’s largely thanks to Linkin Park. Then, they actually kind of lost their way... more
Radiohead
A source of immense inspiration, as expressive as no one else. If I try hard, I can't find a reason not to include them among the greats. If they had fewer fans, perhaps they would be treated with more care... more
Alan Parsons Live Project
Seen and heard a couple of months ago in Padua; repeated ovations from an audience of all ages... and to think that at the time of the album releases, many thought it was merely light pop destined to be soon forgotten... more
Toto Cutugno
I am the Chinese... the real Chinese. more
Billy Joel
He has written and performed so many beautiful songs that many are unaware that they are all his. more
