The first album from Graziani's golden period, "Lugano addio," probably remains his greatest masterpiece. The rating would actually be 4 and a half balls, but I round it up to 5 out of affection.

It never drove me crazy too much; I find it one of his less powerful albums, along with the next one and the one before the last. "Minù Minù" and "Lucetta fra le stelle" are the most successful tracks, even though, of course, they don't come anywhere near his masterpieces. It barely makes the cut.

    A refined album in production, it arrives after the self-titled one from 1983, filled with potential "Hits" (the self-titled). Unfortunately, after "the difficult" Seni e Coseni, our artist will never fully recover. "Limiti (Affari d'amore)" is the hit, and "Lucetta fra le stelle" is the most beautiful. Things get worse with the subsequent "Piknic."
  • Ditta
    15 may 20
    I agree.. maybe "Piknic" was the low point of his career (even so, he still manages to scrape a passing grade, let’s say a 6-/10). Good ratings will return in 1989, with the rise of "Ivangarage".
  • Martello
    3 aug 20
    Oh just three "less powerful" records. Out of 12? I need to look into this, I've been stuck for years on Seni and coseni. I ask the opinion of @[Ditta], what would be better to recover from post-81?

    "Ivan Graziani" (1983)

    "Nove" (84), "Piknic" (86), and "Cicli e tricicli" (91) remain decent albums, but quite understated, despite a few gems scattered here and there. In the midst of the crossing, "Malelingue" (94)

Already with this we can glimpse the first signs of a change. Overall, a more than good album (despite the subsequent one and all the previous ones being superior), perhaps a bit too cryptic.
  • Kism
    19 may 20
    Exactly, Ditta! Hermetic and a bit chilly, the first side with "Pasqua" and "Cleo" showcases the two peaks of the Album. The first side has no guitar except for "Cleo," while the second side is more lively but lacks standout tracks. Perhaps this was the Album that cost him his career; after all, he had to change in some way, as "Viaggi e Intemperie" marked the end of a cycle. He would return with the self-titled album in 1983, which was full of potential hits; however, the magical moment (commercially) had passed.

A fantastic album, the pinnacle of the 77-79 trilogy and the best of his entire discography. Title track, "Taglia la testa al gallo," and "Fuoco sulla collina" are the best.

    ...and "Song for Susy", maybe "Lazy" just a notch better.
  • Ditta

    "Lazy" in my opinion is THE quintessential album by Graziani, much like "Rimmel" for De Gregori, "La voce del padrone" for Battiato, "Sotto il segno dei pesci" for Venditti, and so on and so forth..

    Great Company! I was commenting earlier on "Ivan Graziani" from '83. This one from 1980 marks the end of his best period, filled with commercial successes (contrary to what many claim, that Ivan was underrated!). It's the catchiest and contains other gems besides the "super" one you mentioned (I remember Ivan on Discoring, wondering who "Barbarossa" was), "Tutto questo cosa c'entra con il R.& R.?" with its irresistible drum riff, "Dada," and the beautiful "Olanda."

A truly beautiful album, unfortunately underrated (like almost the rest of his discography). As far as I'm concerned, this is Ivan's last fully quality album. To have another inspired record like this, we'll need to jump straight to 1989.

    The album suffered the consequences of the flop of "Seni e coseni" and unfortunately, even though it contained several gems and was produced very well... the magic moment had vanished!

    For me, even "Seni e coseni" wasn't too bad, come on... compared to the others from that time, it was a bit below, but I definitely wouldn't define it on the same level as a "flop"!

It's another Fossati compared to the one from the late 80s/90s, but overall it represents a significant step forward from its predecessors. Excellent album, packed full of gems, with the captivating "J'adore Venise", the (tragically) forgotten "Se ti dicessi che ti amo", and the wonderful and poignant "La costruzione di un amore" standing out. 7.5

We haven't yet reached the best Fossati, but we're still talking about a really great album. Moreover, it features what is probably among his top 3 or 4 masterpieces, namely "Una notte in Italia." Together with "Dieci soldati," "Il passaggio dei partigiani," and "La casa," it's the best of the bunch. Great Ivano, from the next one onwards, all will be 5...

Third absolute masterpiece in a row for Ivano, but for my personal taste, I slightly prefer "La pianta del tè" and "La disciplina della terra." Nevertheless, 40 minutes of pure poetry (as always, after all), especially "Notturno delle tre" and "Mio fratello che guardi il mondo."

One of Ivano's best albums from the 2000s and earlier: an absolutely perfect album in every way with beautiful gems, among which stand out "C'è tempo", "Pane e coraggio", "Ombre e luce" but above all the wonderful "Il bacio sulla bocca". As far as I’m concerned, it’s in the top 5 of the most beautiful Italian singer-songwriter albums of the new millennium.

    21 jun 20
    I'm a big fan of Fossati, so I might be giving a somewhat subjective opinion. Between vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs, I have everything by Fossati, and I know it all by heart. Let's say his golden period, at least for me, starts in 1988 with "La pianta del tè" and ends in 2003 with "Lampo viaggiatore." He didn't miss a beat during that time. The three previous albums "Le città di frontiera" (83), "Ventilazione" (84), "700 giorni" (86) and the three subsequent ones "L'arcangelo" (06), "Musica moderna" (08), and "Decadancing" (11) may not be at their peak, but they are close. Before "Le città di frontiera," aside from a few standout moments, he wasn't particularly exceptional, although he still maintained fairly high standards.

    With "La casa del Serpente," RCA wanted to make a new Baglioni! Instead, I listened to "La mia banda" and "Panama," and even "La casa del Serpente" itself. I believe Mina and Anna Oxa also covered a couple of tracks from this album. But I also appreciate "Le città di frontiera" (even the one, hated by Ivano, "I ragazzi cattivi") and "Ventilazione." With the subsequent works of the '80s, he combines inspiration and originality, forging his style. As an author for others, he is indisputable ("Pensiero stupendo," "Un'emozione da poco," and "Non sono una signora")!

One of the albums that convinces me the least by Fossati, still unripe and too "American," so to speak (starting with the horrible cover). However... here we also find spine-chilling tracks like "Il grano e la luna," "Where is paradise," and especially "Storie per farmi amare," so I can't give it less than 3.5. Then, with the next album "La casa del serpente," Ivano will start to show what he's made of.
