Rino Gaetano -Nuntereggae più
The fame album, blessed with success thanks to third place achieved at Sanremo with "Gianna". It includes his best works ("Capofortuna"; "E cantava le canzoni"; the title track) and De Gregori on backing vocals in "Fabbricando case". more
AA. VV. -Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track
The quintessence of the disco music phenomenon, not just for the Bee Gees but because, fundamentally, it is a collection of the best produced up to that point. A disguised best of, a profusion of top-class disco music. more
Claudio Baglioni -Strada Facendo
A true superstar (he appeals to mothers and, in turn, their daughters), he leaves Italy and heads to London to work with Geoff Westley. The result is a pleasant, charming album, at times surprising (the shy rock of "Via"), but, underneath it all, evanescent. Yet it’s a record-breaking best-seller. more
Adriano Celentano -Azzurro/Una carezza in un pugno
The only true album conceived from beginning to end in Celentano’s (endless) discography: two tracks that made history (“Una carezza in un pugno” and “Azzurro”) and a handful of songs of good, if not excellent, quality. Celentano’s ’68 was (almost) a revolution: his own. celentaniana: rivoluzione: more
Adriano Celentano -Io Non So Parlar D'Amore
After years of failures (in music, television, and film), he gets back in the game with a sincere and personal album, written by Mogol-Gianni Bella (the previous year, he laid the foundations for his triumph with the best seller "MinaCelentano"). Record sales (almost two million copies). more
Adriano Celentano -Le robe che ha detto Adriano
(Sermons (still tolerable) and lyrics that are all too orchestrated, but it’s one of his few coherent (and cohesive) albums, with the excellent gamble of "Mondo in Mi7a" and the fun "La storia di Serafino".) more
Raf -Cosa resterà ...
Quality and sales: in its genre, an impeccable pop album. With two songs that made history ("Ti pretendo" and "Cosa resterà degli anni '80) and at least two more worth framing ("La battaglia del sesso"; "Santi nel viavai") vendite: more
Lucio Battisti -io tu noi tutti
Battisti looks beyond Italian borders and creates an album with a distinctly (and delightfully) “West Coast” sound, perhaps one of his happiest and most fun records, featuring some unexpected touches (the synthesizer in “Soli”). more
Lucio Battisti -Una Donna per Amico
To be honest, my favorite by Battisti more
The Beatles -Let it be
The Beatles' last album, and basically a collection of luxury "leftovers" ("glued together," debatably, by Phil Spector to a band that had already broken up). Some things have gone down in history (the title track, "Across the universe"), others have not ("I've got a feeling"; "Two of us"). more

Watchtower
Absolutely amazing in composing their complex sounds in the years when Thrash metal was just being born. Together with TOXIC, SIEGES EVEN, MEKONG DELTA, etc. Miles and miles ahead of everyone else. Influencing many bands who ended up receiving more recognition than they did. more
Jimmy PageSonny Boy Williamson & Brian Auger -Don’t Send Me No Flowers
I don't really like traditional blues that much, but you know how to make it interesting because you know how to write. Well done. more
