Good job but cuckold. Too bad he doesn't know it. more
Pink Floyd
I agree with Marco's definition. They used their name to show that they're "Super Experts," and I find their first album overrated, which in reality isn't overrated at all; it sold poorly, for most it's definitely not the best, yet it still gets too much praise just because Barrett was involved and to be considered even more alternative. To me, it seems like a nice album, but in terms of song structure, like The Wall, I don’t see experimentation or long suites. more
The Verve
An excellent yet underrated Brit-pop band, perhaps overshadowed by the success of their contemporaries Oasis, even though they remain (at least in my opinion) a step above the latter. Urban Hymns is a masterpiece for the genre. more
Mia Martini
In the top 3 of the greatest Italian interpreters, her voice conveyed all the suffering and pain she endured. Treated like a rag, trampled on, discredited by anyone... but her songs remain. For me, 5 for life. more
John Locke
The Father of Liberalism, but also an enigmatic character from Lost. more
Robbie Williams
Well, come on, it's decent... there are definitely worse things. Sneaky? Yes, but with style. There are several tracks that I remember and enjoy listening to, one above all is Angels. For me, it's more than just sufficient... more
David Bowie
Anyone who creates an album like "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" deserves a solid 5. Let's also add Hunky Dory, Low, Heroes, Aladdin Sane, Lodger... more
Scialpi
Today is 60 years old. Good presence from the '80s and '90s. Listenable and dignified. more
Blue Öyster Cult -Secret Treaties
Their other best album along with the previous one. It has all the qualities of a "classic" rock album, and the band was in stunning form (well expressed by the subsequent live album). Musically/arrangement-wise, I find it a bit less edgy and dark than "Tyranny" (which I actually prefer by a hair), but here too, there's everything that characterizes rock'n roll at the Cult of the Blue Oyster: the sci-fi-horror lyrics that are one of their strong points, Bloom's vocals with that touch of theatricality to enhance those lyrics, the "expanded" rock'n roll of tracks like "Dominance and Submission," for example, the irresistible pop-rock drive of "Career of Evil," the wonderful rhythm section of the Bouchard Brothers, and of course a sequence of tracks that are all among the best of their career: "Subhuman," the rock ballad "Astronomy" (their most classic track from the "rock side" before the evergreen pop arrived in the next album to mark their career), and especially my favorite "Flaming Telepaths" (probably their greatest song after "7 Screaming Diz-Busters") with a greater presence of Lanier's keyboards and containing my favorite guitar solo by Buck Dharma. A truly great song. And a really great album. more

End of the world, I love you! more
Jean Ray -Malpertuis
A nightmare novel and a classic of the fantastic to rediscover. more
Michel Houellebecq -H. P. Lovecraft. Contro il mondo, contro la vita
A powerful and essential essay, although in the end, Houellebecq's vision of life emerges. more

The best book by Valerio Evangelisti. more
