Raffaella Carrà is to Italian television what Cruyff is to football: debuting in the '60s, stellar in the '70s, always at the center of the scene and endowed with multiple talents. Total. And beautiful to behold, at least at the peak of her form. more
Once, I considered it the ultimate trash produced by Queen during their (horrible) '80s, but now I must admit that "The Miracle" has surpassed it. Still, it remains an overall mediocre album with some truly impressive peaks of horridness. more
Since the Quìn are back in fashion in the re-definitions-of-re-works, I’ll dive in too. Horrifying record, the peak of flatness and plasticity logically arrived at the twilight of a decade that had seen this group churn out one piece of trash after another. I save nothing, the deepest abyss before the unexpected and dignified last gasp. more

Right now, to save the day, there are "It's Hard Life" and "Is this the world we created." Like all the others from the '80s. more
A masterpiece, indeed the MASTERPIECE of crossover; it is with this album from 1991 that the wild congregation, led by the infectious energy of Angelo Moore, reaches the perfect and exhilarating balance by mixing the most disparate genres: ska, reggae, metal, soul, funk, and even pop. All of this is bolstered by a hefty dose of fun, their trademark in live performances. So let yourself be swept away by "So Many Millions": as if countless songs fused into a single track. Out of category... more
The Italian way to pop-rock with wave influences. Those who downplay it forget the shock that its television appearances brought to provincial Italy in the early '80s, when it was enough to have even longer hair and dress in leather to pass as alternative. Perhaps its true limitation is being largely tied to the eighties, but seen in a historical perspective, that was its world and the world it had something to say about. more
they were truly epic, a band that has really made an impact in the minds of those who listened to and appreciated them more
If we consider the debut album from the big four of the Seattle scene (only the big four), this one by Pearl Jam is definitely the best, I would even dare to call it a Masterpiece... Perhaps only "Facelift" comes close to "Ten"... more
Philip Tagg said: cities are like low-fidelity stereo systems. You need music that screams above the traffic and metal. To impose oneself. To rise. To elevate. Above the traffic. Or away from it. Textual riffs for wrecked cars and gas station vending machines. The Summer of the Polar Bear. Scorching asphalt. Something of Nothing. more
They never make mistakes! more
Vasco seems like the sea, goes (as they used to say once) more
He has written some pleasant pieces, nothing more. more
I don't like him too much, but he has written nice lyrics and I find him likable because he's from Calabria. more
Certo! Inviami il testo e procederò con la traduzione. more
One of the most creative English rock bands of their generation (led by an extraordinary singer, among other things). more
The first one was cute, then I don't know. more
I dedicate this to memories and to a few songs like Vermilion that I still enjoy listening to every once in a while. more
gagliardi! more
I don't know, I like them; in their genre, there’s definitely worse out there. more
