J.J. Cale
A few words, a lot of (great) music until a heart attack took him away last year. Shy, solitary, and reserved, JJ Cale is a prominent figure in American music over the last 40 years, creator of the "Tulsa sound," a guitarist with a slow but refined touch, playing few notes but the right ones, copied and covered by dozens of artists who made a fortune with his songs... more
U2
Well, at least they gave away the last album... more
Queen
Anyone who says that Queen sucks has never listened to "A Night at the Opera" or "Sheer Heart Attack" in full. more
Ben Harper -There Will Be A Light
A beautiful collaboration between Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama from a few years ago, excellent tracks blending blues, gospel, and folk that I have always loved... more
Ry Cooder -Paradise and Lunch
Blues, Roots, Bluegrass, Rock, Jazz...a summary of all American music in this '74 album, one of Ry's best... more
Van Morrison -It's Too Late to Stop Now
Let’s listen to the Lion... more
Hüsker Dü -New Day Rising
A huge album, right from the cover and the title, never so evocative and eloquent; released just a handful of months after "Zen Arcade," it showcases the unquantifiable and unparalleled prolificacy of the guys, who are moving towards compositional maturity. A work that has marked, pointed out, and traced a groove, a path to follow: and over the years it will be assimilated by hundreds of groups, thus demonstrating the enormity of Husker Du. A stratospheric opening, my favorite...EVOLUZIONE (ARMATA)... more
Suicidal Tendencies
Mike "Cyco" Muir's band, hailing from Venice, California, was one of the very first to merge the darkest and most uncompromising Hardcore with Thrash Metal, adding a killer rap-style vocal to the mix... CROSSOVERIANI... more
Michael Jackson
Too much hate for one of the most genuine, multifaceted, and important artists in the history of pop music and beyond. Just respect! more
Folkabbestia -Breve saggio filosofico sul senso della vita
between Petrolini and Milk and Its Derivatives, a delirious, circus-like, astonishing work, truly unique! The first Italian folk record that you will never get tired of listening to more
Fabri Fibra -Tradimento
"Education is my tragedy. When I was in middle school, they showed us images of people praying. An exorcist tying a possessed person to a chair while they twisted and turned; it was clear they were acting! The teacher, on the other hand, was excited: 'Look at this demon drooling!'" more
Verdena -Verdena
And those who do not cry are deaf. Or envious. more
Nirvana -MTV Unplugged In New York
I think I'm dumb, maybe just happy more
Alanis Morissette -Mtv Unplugged
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think more
Gianluca Grignani -Destinazione paradiso
A journey makes sense only when there's no return
except in flight. more
Baustelle -La malavita
Maybe because
she doesn't like people
or that party she has inside herself
when she wishes for calm. more
Prozac+ -Miodio
In the '80s, Julian Cope did not hesitate to declare that he was not progressing musically and was proud of it. In fact, he did not understand why rock musicians were obsessed with progress. "Miodio," the fourth album by Prozac+, brings those statements to mind. more
Prozac+ -Gioia Nera
I can't offer you, I can't give you
a happy family, a house by the sea more
Prozac+ -Acido Acida
Betty is so beautiful... the heroin suits her. more
