Ligabue Nome e Cognome

@sorelladitatangelo: if you're talking about Gilmour's latest, I can agree it's very beautiful... but Division... please... it’s a nice album where the Pink Floyd play at being themselves beyond all limits, sometimes even beyond good taste or honesty... only a very young age can consider it great (bet you discovered them there...?). The Beatles, I remind you, had 6 (great) years of career, so they can't be compared (except maybe Macca, with his highs and lows that we could discuss). Zappa is a discourse that transcends "light" and certainly pop. As for the Boss, I would like to know what you know and how much, just to have a laugh...

agreeing with Poletti: those beautiful like us is a terrible way to end a nice album, not a 5, but very nice, especially in the "keyboardy" arrangements and somewhat Battistianiellian. a couple of tracks, maybe even three, are truly marvelous and perfect in every way....final note on the dream: wasn't it to remain in the album and quote the beautiful (and true) line "nothing has more reality than the dream"...?

For heaven's sake... everyone is free to think what they want... but managing to make decent albums after becoming millionaires (in euros... obviously) is not something everyone can do... in this regard, Liga, but especially the Boss, should be evaluated with a bit of objectivity....: "Tom Joad" and "Devils & Dust," who made them at the end of their careers...? who was able to create them...? maybe Dylan (whom no one would ever dare to speak ill of... and whom I also love very much... but whose creative spark is now dimming....???)?

More than anything else, the market is churning out (en masse) overly packaged products without soul. It tries to sell them to us as original and interesting (la aguilera is an emblematic example). Here, I fear that the music is not just "tired," but rather a zombie artificially kept alive by the market... sadly... (primiballi.blogspot.com)

Thank you all... the Genoese school, among the greatest, still counts two giants (Paoli and Fossati) among the living, and some little ones... let's hope for the best... @sasa: being responsible for a dedicated registration to compliment me on my review is truly an honor. Thank you.

little masterpiece... Now, even to have a laugh about the serious stuff, I’d say that the fact that kids love this music is an adult convention... mine listens to a ton of jazz (because she’s got the misfortune of having a father like me) and, despite her very young age, she seems completely unfazed, and in fact can recognize the sound of the trumpet (yesterday it was Fresu), much to the delight of that pesky dad of hers... I've honestly always found kids' songs a bit unbearable... but on the rest of the nostalgic stuff, I totally agree. By the way: never brovado hurrà? (primiballi.blogspot.com)

you don't know how I share...pippocalippo...anyway, sometimes I think of "la musica è stanca" or the immortal line that elsewhere describes "immondizie musicali"...or I think of "indietro tutta" by Arbore that mocked quizzes...then I wake up today, see Pupo dominating on TV, pale imitators of Cochi and Renato doing cabaret, D'Alessio and Tatangelo threatening to dominate the market that once featured the best Pino and the best Edo and...above all...quizzes everywhere and always (and no more Arbore...)...that's why I pray to God or whoever for him that at least Battiato, in this poor Country, holds on, and for a long time...(primiballi.blogspot.com)

surely a nostalgic piece and, as always, autobiographical (the good Roberto, after all, has done little else but dedicate songs, sometimes beautiful ones like this...) but it is undeniable that he also played with what was and is around San Siro... "what's wrong... we've all been there..." ...(primiballi.blogspot.com)

True, serene, even if "Genova per noi" represents the classic vision of a Piedmontese from the late 20th century who "descends" to Genoa, he... that Paolo Conte who is at the edge of the countryside, with the sun on his face rarely and the rest is rain that soaks him...(I’m also close to Asti, and I can assure you that "Genova per noi" was written by one of us... which was also partially true for the poor great Bruno, oscillating between the Genoese school and his beloved role as a winemaker straddling Alessandria and Asti....)
