David Gray

Serious, consistent artist. Not exactly a pioneer of innovation, but the poor sales testify to a musical project aimed at quality. A bit boring, in my opinion, but there's much, much worse. A good folk-pop background for somewhat gloomy days.

Daniele Silvestri

Friendly, easygoing, humble. Beyond that, he is TOO politically aligned and winks at supermarket music (who can blame him). Guitar and voice EMOTIONS, truly. He is excellent on the piano. In his production, here and there, there are moments of higher-level music that few in Italy have in their repertoire. REAL TALENT, struggling to demonstrate it concretely, and he seems a bit downcast.

Tiziano Ferro

Damn, what a voice! A peculiar music, come on, or at least it's trying. I followed it closely to see if it could hold up or if it would let itself be sucked into the "Muzicbiz." But then the phrase "news is the anagram of my name, you know?" made me throw in the towel. What a wasteeee!!!

Agatha Christie

A safe harbor to retreat to when you've been struggling for months to find a truly captivating book.

Michael Connelly

Great plots, immediate and direct writing style. His BOSCH, which is not a drill, is really cool. I would like to see Connelly, however, write about others, in different places, times, and situations. Valid, in short, but limited and confined to his little garden. I have 15 of his books and honestly, I confuse them. Commercial? Who cares... He's good and if he sells a lot, good for him. Amen

Wilbur Smith

As you approach the end of the book, you feel a twinge of sadness... you've grown so attached to the characters and the plot that it can't possibly end now! Over-the-top, excessive, and heavily criticized for selling books by the ton. Essential for lovers of adventure, of Africa in all its aspects, and of the socio-political history of South Africa. There's always sex and blood, perhaps even too much… but I search everywhere for books that give me the emotions his do, and I haven't found any yet.

Foo Fighters

It's not that they've invented anything... but DAVE has reinvented themselves, and that's commendable. Much more inspired when they're on stage than when they try to act inspired... Live, they BREAK like few others.

Queen

3 seconds of any of their tracks and you know it's them. A unique sound, innovators, charismatic thanks especially to one of the greatest front men to ever take the stage. Great, in short, but I have to say their music is aging poorly.

Amedeo Minghi

Better than Meneguzzi. More serious... at least. Then for the rest, what boredom... mom, what boredom.

Roberto Vecchioni

A top-level singer-songwriter. Voice, in short; music not always excellent, but the content and ideas are certainly not lacking, even after all these years between the classroom and the stage. Seeing the CDs of people like him still in stores somewhat alleviates the fear I get from seeing the CDs of Meneguzzi & Co.
