John Bonham
for certain truly unreachable rhythmic cues, style and dynamics that are distinctly personal. more
Charlie Watts
The battery disabled person. Sounds just like anyone with a good sense of rhythm on their first day of class, except he’s been playing for 60 years. more
Kyuss
The best of the '90s as far as I'm concerned. more
Charlie Watts
The best drumming of all time. Hearing those sharp explosions punish my ears in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is the definition of badass. more
Francesco De Gregori -Francesco De Gregori
Unease, poetry, and so much teenage anger, along with multiple references to the poetics of Cohen and Drake. Inspired and profound lyrics, enough to make Fabrizio De André fall in love. The battle with "Rimmel" for the absolute title of the Prince's artwork is tough. "Good," damn it. more
Francesco De Gregori -Bufalo Bill
An engaging poster, where no piece is absolutely out of place. Musically, it’s his best ’70s work, no question about it. And Lucio Dalla was right to get emotional about "Santa Lucia." A masterpiece. more
Rod Stewart
Too bad for those despicable '80s. 'Young Turks' remains one of the most obscene things I've ever heard. The trouble is, I've never managed to say which one is worse, between 'Young Turks' and 'Baby Jane'. Anyway, two of the tracks I've hated the most in my life. Conversely, it would be a 5, for the merits we know well. more
Queen -A Kind of Magic
So, just to complete the "magical" quartet of shit-shit-shit albums by Queen from the '80s ("The Game" is half crap but I'll still somewhat save it, more or less). But yeah, in the end, the Queen made "only" four truly terrible albums, but damn, how bad are they. This one is 100% plastic, gaudy, and only partially salvageable for various sentimental reasons. more
John Bonham
"Boy, your right foot is faster than a rabbit's!" J.H. more
Jane's Addiction
Farrell, who suffers from the suicide of his mother when he is 4, Avery, who discovers as a teenager that his biological father is someone else, Navarro, who at 15 comes home to find his mother and aunt murdered in a pool of blood... Human clinical cases more than a rock band. Perkins, the unique, shining, and wonderful white fly of the group. Metal, Rock, Funk, New Wave, Gothic, Psychedelia, Mystical, Esoteric, Lysergic... Nothing is Shocking. Sex and Violence. Señores y Señoras... Jane's Addiction. more
Bon Jovi -New Jersey
Say what you want, but Bon Jovi released great albums up until "These Days" (1995), or at least listenable records! "New Jersey" is, in my opinion, the best of the group, even better than "Slippery When Wet," which is also a fantastic album!! Listening to a band without prejudice and without hearing the opinions of "music experts" can sometimes be useful, because you can judge a band calmly!! more
Fabrizio De André
Do we want to find a flaw? Well, yes, the only one, but it was huge ... he was a Genoa fan. more
Buckethead
150 albums!? Damn, this guy (in quantity) has even surpassed Zappa! more
Funeral Diner
Beyond the bottom more
King Crimson
The elitism/snobbery/showing off/somekindofstuff that comes out when talking about certain things really irritates me to no end. I say it's just suffocating. more
Tom Waits -Franks Wild Years
Experimental, hallucinatory, and oppressive. Undeniably a masterpiece. more
Queen -The Works
I know I'm being annoying, but today I feel like giving the Queen a hard time. Mediocre album, but in its mediocrity, it’s more pleasant compared to the previous and the following one ("A Kind of Magic"). There are a few decently bearable tracks, but nothing more. Right after "The Game," it’s the most "dignified" of the Queen's 80s albums, but I just can’t give it three balls. more
Queen -Made In Heaven
Shabby commercial-necrophilic operation. I even gave it away to someone just to get it out of my house, and I collect it under "Never (I don't care)" because these options in de-collection are awesome :D more
