As far as I'm concerned, up until the late 90s, he produced pieces of Italian music history that still endure. Then it became somewhat less significant. The rest, both those who think he is the best in music and those who despise him out of sheer snobbery, are just a waste of time.

It wasn't enough, no. We needed Trap. The first time I heard it, I thought they were referring to Trapattoni.

I finally saw the movie: taken as is, without thinking about King's masterpiece, it’s not too bad; but if you really think about it, well, things change quite a bit, because there are literally no comparisons. It's worth mentioning that to make a complete assessment, you should see the second one, but for now, it's a tiny, tiny 3, because a 2 would really be unfair. Read the book first, because it would truly be a shame to watch the movie beforehand: it’s generally the case, but with a book of that complexity and narrative depth, it’s even more so.

It makes me a bit angry that, in reggae, a rather useless second best of by Marley gets reviewed, while there are barely a couple for Lee Perry.

Well, I had bought it back when it came out, everyone was talking very positively about it and compared it to Beck: it was a bit of a disappointment (I still remember the heart in my ass, the ashtray, and the housewife though) and after a while, I sold it and after that never followed it again. A few days ago, I heard people talking about the 'Bugo case' and people saying 'eh Bugo, you see, but where did he come from? Is this a novelty?' Stuff that's been around for twenty years, if not more, the usual Italian Sanremo ignorance, a nasty thing, truly nasty.

I essentially agree with @[IlConte]; when best ofs are done well, they are done well (and let’s differentiate them from greatest hits, which are theoretically a different thing). A best of on Pink Floyd was indeed an undertaking of unique difficulty: they either had to release a quadruple album, or this double album, which in my opinion is quite complete. It doesn’t feature the tracks that everyone thinks are terrible (that's fair), and I think it was a great idea to conceive them as 2 sides like The Wall, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, or others (without any pause between tracks, in line with their usual approach). A 5 overall for the songs is the best that could be done for a best dedicated to them.

So, Live at Leeds is one of my all-time favorite live albums (maybe my all-time favorite) and, as far as I'm concerned, it's the peak of The Who (I managed to get the 'deluxe' double edition, perhaps the only instance of a deluxe that should have been released as the standard edition, since it's the only version with the complete concert, with all of Tommy on the second disc, which is an experience elevated by the pompousness that emerged in the studio here). I didn't know this had come out, but The Who live, as @[IlConte] says, 5 trust me.

Here's a record that I've been listening to a lot these days; it's actually Think Tank by Blur (which is, by far, the Blur album I've listened to the least), and I'm somehow rediscovering it. The other interesting reference for me is Beck, let's see, maybe I'll give it a listen.

Masterpiece for me of devastating intensity. Beautiful.

I liked it, I have no idea what they did after Room of Fire, but it seemed like a nice album to me, I confirm your 4.
