Paola & Chiara

Looks can be deceiving. They are shorter, less bitchy, and nicer than they seem. In short, there are worse things (but also, thank you iesus, a looooot better things). I give an extra point for their critical/musical competence, obviously unknown to the masses, because commercial image must prevail, honestly quite ridiculous and devoid of substance.

Marco Carta

Ah Ah Ah Ah... But where are those who like it? Maybe they don't know how to write...

R.E.M.

Monstrous difference between the early works and the later ones. I adore the early ones, I detest the subsequent, where ideas are glaringly absent. Basically, once they achieved success, they haven't gotten anything right, including political predictions... What a shame, really. I'm losing hope that they will ever move me again.

Keith Richards

Technique is not necessary to become icons. It's known. A bit of self-love would help understand when it's time to fade away instead of becoming that type of icon that is more of a caricature of themselves. A GREAT, now ridiculous.

Norah Jones

One with a voice like that could sing the TG1 theme and I'd be left speechless. And if she writes it too! A little more sprightliness wouldn't hurt. WELL DONE!

Elvis Presley

UNMEASURABLE. Too cool, too good, too much of a star, too much of an entrepreneur. Excessive in everything. And that voice... if he had written it himself, he would be the messiah. But still, he's not far from it.

Morgan

He's not the only singer without a voice. He's not the only songwriter who writes terrible songs. But at least he knows a lot more about music than average, and he's built an interesting persona practically from scratch. Live with Blu Vertigo, he rocked it (I saw them in '95). Very good at the piano, and an eclectic multi-instrumentalist. Pippa drugs? Who among them doesn't? At least in that regard, he's not "different" as he insists on appearing.

Kurt Cobain

His voice is a scream of rage. An enigmatic character, but "real". Zero technique, but who cares; after all, often the rarest plants sprout where there's little fertilizer. And if it brings my pimples back, it's just good news. A GREAT ONE

Tiromancino

"the description of a moment"... never was a title more fitting. Because it describes the duration of my appreciation for the group. I heard the Roman dialect guy play guitar and sing live in Rome, in an unknown venue. It blew me away. I swore I would follow them to the ends of the earth, but then I gave up... from that moment on, one disappointment after another. Watered down, predictable, simplistic, light, almost unlistenable. What a shame.
