Tabula Rasa more
The first three albums, ranging from garage to a more classic blues rock, are excellent; then, aside from an interesting funk-R'n'B twist in "Brothers," there's nothing particularly remarkable. more
A fundamental character! At least as much as the smell of the locker neighbor's feet at the gym. more
ONE more, ONE less... I put 2, I raise the grade, anyway I don’t mind his presence. Then he was on Le Iene, I mean, I wouldn’t really throw him out. more
Once, I would have said that Joy Division were the pinnacle of the entire British wave. Today, however, I assert that it was The Sound, more than anyone else, who best represented that musical and artistic period. more
In addition to its musical merits, this album is an example of how to tackle historical themes in music without falling into the kitschy or becoming excessively melodramatic. more
Àlacre. Or ...alàcre? Mmh... no, it's àlacre, it's a proparoxytone, like the middle ground between doo-wop, pop-rock, and R&B in which this great artist navigated for a lifetime, ending up among the ranks of forgotten songwriters. more
a living legend more
Absolutely fantastic, but from a band featuring two legends like John Cale and Lou Reed, nothing less could be expected. more
Of all the not particularly extensive discography of the band, this second album chronologically is my favorite; eleven tracks in just over forty minutes. Perfect songs that cleverly balance immediacy and energy; thanks particularly to Andy's nimble guitar and Stewart's multifaceted drumming; not to forget Sting's voice and bass. It's all too easy to mention "Message in a Bottle," "Walking on the Moon," and "Bring on the Night" as the standout tracks...NO TIME THIS TIME... more
"European institutions have accepted the burden of unpopularity, being sheltered from the electoral process."

All I need is "Children of the Grave" to give yet another 5 to the band from Birmingham!! more
Someone who founds a newspaper and calls it "The Newspaper"! It takes a wild imagination... It must have been someone who named his son "Son"... the dog "Dog"! more
A career spanning almost forty years without ever really tarnishing its reputation (the only downside: the two Sanremos), with peaks of the highest level like the albums from the '70s and various subsequent works. "Un uomo" is perhaps one of his best songs. more

how disgusting! more
THE DIVINE. THE GREATEST. MY LIFE. more
Behind the laughter and fun lies pure genius, one of the greatest artists of all time. Simply fantastic! more
"A film that brings a smile, and perhaps a tear."
Quote from the opening credits. If you know a more effective way to define this masterpiece, feel free to chime in... more
Prog, psychedelia, rock, pop, folk, singer-songwriter... he has experimented a lot, and today, with good reason, he remains a source of pride born in our peninsula. Great voice, great songwriter... great artist... more
