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.
Adele: 19

The debut of Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, better known as Adele, already contains the seeds that would later serve as the foundation for her subsequent masterpiece. Rough edges—perhaps a bit unripe—aside, a hit like "Chasing Pavements" makes for an impressive calling card. And the rest isn’t bad either.
Adele: 21
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Impressive opus no. 2 from the very young Adele who, with the help of a high-budget production, strings together an amazing sequence of tracks destined, in a short time, to become classics ("Rolling in the Deep"; "Set Fire to the Rain"; "Someone Like You"). An instant best-seller.
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).
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:

    "Azzurro" and "Una carezza in un pugno" are two of the absolute best things he has ever done. And in the first one, not by chance, there's the touch of a certain Paolo Conte...
(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".)
Antonello Venditti: Dalla pelle al cuore
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
The best of Venditti from the last twenty years is all, or nearly all, contained within this album—at times exquisitely refined—in which he blends popular romanticism ("Piove su Roma") with memories of timeless figures like Di Bartolomei and Pantani.

    His albums from the '70s (and even the '80s) were better than this one, but it's definitely the best of his more "recent" ones...
Antonello Venditti: Cuore
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
The anger of the previous decade has vanished, replaced by the hedonistic optimism of the '80s. 8 love songs, among which "Notte prima degli esami" and "Ci vorrebbe un amico" stand out. Only "Qui" feels like a plunge into the past, but the abundant synthesizers in the control room inexorably herald the dawn of a new era.

    “Piero e Cinzia”, “L’ottimista” and “Stella” are also great tracks.
A dreadful record, a poor imitation (even in the cover) of the already less-than-outstanding previous one. From the rowdy, populist title track to the mawkishness of "Vento selvaggio" nothing seems to escape the abyss where Venditti ought to end up: as he himself says, "Tutti all'inferno." finire:

    Truly terrible and chilling, starting from the tremendous title track!
The two top talents of Folk Studio debut with an album that is sparse in sound, less so in content. Surprisingly, it is Venditti who prevails, thanks to two cornerstones of his discography: "Roma capoccia" and "Sora Rosa". De Gregori appears more nuanced, almost shy. discografia:

    "Sora Rosa" magnificent
Articolo 31: Così Com'è
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Uncontainable, surprising, even refined. The best-selling hip-hop album in Italy bears the signature of the duo J-Ax/J-Ad, perhaps during their most inspired period. Tracks like "Tranqui Funky," "Domani," and "Il funkytarro" become hits from North to South (even though the two tend to tell the story of the Milanese suburbs more than Italy as a whole).

    For me, this is a five-star thing, imagine that!
