Yeah, why?

doll, often what you call "immature phase" does not coincide at all with being 14-15 years old: these are too generic distinctions, in my opinion. It should be assessed based on the different cases and different people. @ dedoluz: your clarification is perfect.

Tony Tammaro is God and this album is the Bible!

And anyway, age has nothing to do with musical tastes...

No, guys, pippiacì, not the raian!

Here I am, I’ve caught a three-star odradek. "A break in the company of a voice I like to listen to, while all around too many people keep shouting sensational news and poets soaked in pathos pop up like mushrooms, demanding our attention." (Perfect description, in its brevity, it steals the show from Ballard and Emidio Clementi combined). I’m rushing to listen to the samples.

the best 83-87, the original sound of sheffield, right? that’s a beautiful record, perhaps my favorite by Cabaret, because it showcases all of their experimentation.

Luciano Ligabue, emerging from a musical past that is at least commendable in terms of artistic honesty, has now devolved into mediocrity, much like the fake little rockers with choirboy music such as Sugar Free, the various Luca Di Risio, Lunapop, and anyone else you might name (needless to say, the San Remo version of the Nomadi, the overrated and derivative Lacuna Coil, etc. etc. are also part of this mess...). The ruin of the pathetic Italian music scene is solely and exclusively their fault, so let’s not complain if emerging talents never seem to make it (or almost) into the spotlight and the charts always feature the same names. As for MUCCHIO SELVAGGIO, instead of conducting sycophantic interviews (like the one with Ligabue), it should focus more, as it did a few months ago with Arezzo Wave, on illustrating the conditions of the organizational machine behind the festivals that work hard to promote some musical novelty. Forget Ligabue... and his happy hours...

yeah, great review, legendary Don McLean, legendary Buddy Holly, legendary Burt
