Roberto Da Crema

The Idol of Idols! That vacuum-cleaner inspiration, those sudden screams, the clocks and broken shoes on the table, his catchphrases, the products sold at crazy prices... But which afternoon cartoons? The afternoon for me was only him, with his indestructible watches sold for a seventh of the price, with his non-dripping rollers, with shirts, polos, jackets, etc...

Anna

The music is shit as always, let's throw a pitying veil over it and give it a 1, but she's an absolutely adorable little doll, tacky and sweet at the same time. I spotted her by chance once, and let's just say it took me 30 seconds to fall in love, not degrees!

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Let's give Caesar what belongs to Caesar: you can't consider yourself a fan if you don't know and love their first 6 albums! There they were truly funk, quirky, energetic, innovative. After that, they became an acceptable soft-rock band, listenable but not memorable, with rather bland melodies; in my opinion, pop-rock is not their thing! And anyway, when it comes to creativity and individuality, Faith No More and Primus blow them away. Shall we compare Mike Patton's versatile voice with Anthony Kiedis's thin and imprecise one? Flea is a good bassist, but Les Claypool outshines him in technique and creativity!

Paolini

It's missing a lot; it made the news more entertaining. Now we have that idiot with the pen in his mouth...

Selvaggia Lucarelli

I appreciate her straightforwardness, her ability to sing in your face as no one else has the courage to do, as well as her way of narrating certain phenomena. However, she often falls into the rhetoric of political correctness and Nazi-feminism, actively contributing to the phenomenon and making it increasingly pathetic and ridiculous, and that's where she starts to lose me.

Styx

They compose catchy and straightforward tracks in a clear AOR style but distinguish themselves from their peers by enriching them with solutions of clear progressive origin, the latter being so massively present that they almost challenge their status as an AOR band; they appeal to both factions, pleasing true rockers as well as proggers.

The White Stripes

They were a bloodied rock-blues and garage band (played by two people essentially with only two instruments except for some additional inserts) capable of making a mark in a time when rock was infested with stuff for teenagers like pop-punk and nu-metal, which is remarkable... But nothing for the masses; they will always be the ones of "poooo po po po po poooooo pooooooo" (by the way, without even knowing the title of the song and the name of the band)...
