Antonio Di Pietro, Gianni Barbacetto

Every time you're about to put the microphone in front of his mouth, you already know what he's going to say: that Berlusconi should resign. But instead of being boring with the usual jabs, why doesn't he propose something??? I don't see him as much of a political reference. In any case, the entire opposition has this problem... criticizing without ever engaging in dialogue, and Berlusconi is right.

Gwen Stefani

But with No Doubt they might have done something good, but as a solo artist? Just crap...

King Crimson

Here's what happens when music is truly free from constraints, structures, durations, patterns, etc...: You arrive at pure madness!!!

The Beatles

But what have these guys ever done that was so great? Commercial songs with melodies on the edge of banality and poorly arranged (and don't tell me it was the recording quality of the time)... it's just that they were the first to do it and they're praised for it! Today we have the Modà, yesterday we had the Beatles, I don't see that much of a difference! I don't see any reason to tear our hair out for them; there are hundreds of other bands for which it's truly worth going bald!

Haken

Among the best prog proposals of the new decade; they don't invent anything, but they possess an exquisite compositional quality and often amaze the listener with unpredictable solutions.

subsignal

The band that has redefined melodic prog! The Steffen-Menses duo, from a strictly melodic standpoint, is the most effective guitar-vocals combination I have ever heard!

ABBA

Back in the day, even when pop was made, it was done in a decent way.

Fates Warning

Defining them as prog-metal in the strictest sense seems excessive to me; in any case, they are a band to be appreciated for their continuous evolution and their desire to give metal new energy and greater structural complexity... But Dream Theater are on another planet, there's no denying it. I still hope to hear a new album from them soon.

Zucchero

I may not be a fan, but to me, he is a very respectable artist: he knows how to write melodies. He doesn't fall into the boring and repetitive trap like many others, and he has a great ease in moving from cheerful, summery tunes (often with somewhat silly lyrics) to deeper songs. He also attracts the attention of great musicians and collaborates with well-known figures. Alright, it may be cliché as much as you want, but I don't think he should be criticized for that.
