I also appreciated the Dead Kennedys, I detest the Sex Pistols, and even something dark like Bauhaus, I hate The Cure... oh well. I am prog to the core.

I really appreciated The Clash and Ramones from punk. But disco music... blehaaaaaaaaaarr. I'm a girl, so call me darling baby!

an absolutely useless album but the peak of ugliness was reached with invisible touch. I don’t want to bury the entire Collins era under a sea of m.... but very little survives. they started off well but the thirst for profits was too strong. great hackett who left before the ship sank. there’s talk of a possible reunion in 2007 but steve and peter are not part of the project and I think that’s a right and consistent choice on their part. the genesis have been dead for a long time. no one will remember we can't dance or invisible touch except for a few 80s yuppies. but the masterpieces of the gabriel era are timeless, they will remain forever in history.

Sure, I'll listen to her. I'm not denigrating Collins, for heaven's sake, I recognize he has his merits and it’s not easy following someone like Gabriel, but I don’t agree with his commercial choices, just like the good old Steve Hackett. It’s true that prog declined after '75 and you couldn't keep doing the same things, but there was more that could have been done. I listened to Abacab as a kid, then at 14 I discovered the divine Peter, and since then I've continued listening to the masterpieces of the Gabriel era. After more than 20 years, I still get chills listening to Supper's Ready or Dancing with the Moonlit Knight or Stagnation. The period from '69 to '74 was irreplicable from a musical point of view, the most fertile and joyful era in the history of rock. And then came disco music...........

I completely agree with Anderson. Foxtrot is a perfect album just like Selling England by the Pound and Nursery Cryme. From the Collins era, I only save A Trick of the Tail and a little bit of Wind & Wuthering, Dodo, Me and Sarah Jane from Abacab, and Mama. The rest is negligible, not to mention Invisible Touch and Calling All Stations, which I find disgraceful.

uhhhhh the kecca here has been pricked to the quick.

oops the vote

the umpteenth masterpiece of this divine artist. the greatest.

Personally, I find Britti's songs and his voice unbearable. He does the crap he does to make money. If he were the new Clapton, no one would give a damn about him. Everyone makes their own artistic choices; Britti chose the easier path of commercial music for money, obviously, but how can we blame him for that?

Anyway, the punisher hit the mark: he captured the essence of Ramazzotti's artistic life. And I bet he also guessed at least 2 song titles. Predictable, clichéd, flat music from Ramazzotti, but we couldn't expect more from San Remo. Ramazzotti persists in monotony and in the already heard again and again, yet he always finds success. If the recipe works, you don’t change it. Grignani tried to do something more ambitious but no one paid attention to him. Britti is an excellent guitarist but sings garbage to make a living; otherwise, would he sell? I don't think so. You can't blame these singers who may have real talent, but if they want to live more than just decently as musicians, they can’t express it. It’s the masses that make you earn, not the few. It's the sad and harsh reality of Italian music. People like Fossati, Battiato, Vecchioni, etc., will never become billionaires.
