Angeli -Voglio di più
Personally, of immense sentimental value, even though I have never bought it. more
Gigi D'Agostino -L'Amour Toujours
An objectively mediocre album, yet immensely successful with an entire generation. It would be a 3 for its sentimental value because it reminds me of someone from the past. more
Eros Ramazzotti -Dove c'è musica
One of the reasons I hate the country I live in and the people who inhabit it. more
Pacifico
Valid valid. At least 3.5 balls. He even wrote for others, Venditti for example. more
Maneskin
Media gelatin with the smell of nothing, whipped up with compressed air, dressed by some little brat who still considers tights, nudism, and 8-centimeter thick mascara as symbols of transgression, presented as a revolution to a dumb and ignorant audience fattened on trap and little church songs. They were probably assembled to be the "heralds" (the pawns) of "Italian rock," but I imagine they will quickly melt away, producing solo careers via spore that are filled with the usual shit features, much to the delight of the simpletons who feel important listening to crap on their phones and the older youngsters desperately seeking a connection with their bored & trashy teenage daughters. If your kids like them, you probably made a mistake somewhere; if your significant other likes them, you’re likely making a mistake too. more
Pinguini Tattici Nucleari
One of the most interesting bands of the so-called "Indie" scene until Outside the Hype with its ups and downs.
After Sanremo and "Ahia!", absolute emptiness. more
Black Sabbath -Paranoid
The undisputed Masters of Metal!!! more
Kraftwerk -The Man Machine
Teutonic sounds that made History, Immense. more
Norma Jean
Among the best things to ever come out of the marriage between metal and hardcore. O God The Aftermath remains an essential album for anyone who still lives for heavy music today. more
Richard Thompson -Amnesia
Another very beautiful album from Riccardo, probably a "minor," but this, to my taste, only gives an idea of the exceptional quality of the "majors." Beautiful ballads and pop-rock pieces with that irresistible rhythm, featuring lovely "catchy" arrangements, some marked by the participation of Tony Levin on bass. His talent lies in crafting simple songs without ever making them too linear, seeking that touch of uniqueness in the arrangements, in the sounds, especially thanks to his wonderful guitar and his notes with an acidic tone, featuring jagged and irregular rhythms. "Gypsy Love Songs," "Jerusalem on the Jukebox," "Don't Tempt Me," and "Can't Win" are some of the best tracks. Not to mention "Waltzings for Dreamers," which feels a bit like hearing a "Waits" piece sung "Thompson-style." Even in the more linear pop songs, he never crosses the line into banality and flatness; there's always that reassuringly inspiring melodic pleasure, as in "I Still Dream" and "Turning of the Tide." Truly an album I appreciate very much. Mitchell Froome produces and plays all the keyboards. Kirkpatrick is the sound bridge to old England, with his accordion and concertina. more
Area
Rock, fusion, progressive, jazz, ethno, avant-garde, etc. Politically charged lyrics. Last but not least: the voice of Demetrio Stratos, more than singing, "played" like a musical instrument. more
Genesis
Rock, Progressive, Romantic Narrative, how many definitions there would be; and to think I only listened to disco music. more
Zucchero
The singer from Roncocesi has released some good albums; the first two ("Donne" and "Rispetto") are significant and original, while the following ones are decent, with "Oro Incenso e Birra" being the standout. more
Julia Dream
fonzino

fonzino: Julia Dream Traccia 06 in Julia Dream Compilation - 14 may 1971

too bad there are only 5 stars.... more
Alan Sorrenti
His early albums with a progressive vibe are excellent. Not bad, in their genre, are the subsequent major commercial hits (Figli delle stelle, Tu sei l'unica donna per me, Non so che darei). The problem is that after that he completely vanished. Even though his "hardcore" fans from the start were already wanting to lynch him in 1974, after seeing his "Dicitencello vuje" in the charts. more

In their various formations, they are always technically among the very best. more
