Best artist Italian Pop of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ I will no longer speak because an artist must only communicate through his work. The artist does not exist. His art exists

❝ There’s nothing else to notice but harmony and melody.

❝ I wonder if it’s rock or not...

❝ Short answer: manc po cazz

❝ Written, directed, performed, scored, and edited by the most eccentric of Italian showbiz personalities.

❝ Born in Milan in 1938, the "Molleggiato" Adriano Celentano is still considered the most beloved singer by the Italian population.

❝ Imagine words that are important to you, imagine them suspended in mid-air.

❝ "And the course of life walks slowly, the message is in silence, in sobriety"

❝ Park Hotel, released in 1986, is one of Alice’s most beautiful and successful works

❝ This was the best-selling album in Italy in 1980 (then one might say...)

❝ “thought is like the ocean, you can’t block it, you can’t enclose it”

❝ “Enough blood now, can’t you see, we’re not even standing anymore, a bit of mercy”

❝ I consider the artist in question to be the greatest Italian singer, obviously after the sacred trinity of De Andrè-Battisti-Battiato.

❝ The final feeling is that Ruggeri wants to pay tribute to himself, almost a tribute: I'd like to remind that of many songs he is only the lyricist, do we know what the composer thinks?

❝ Sooner or later, all killers return to the scene of the crime.

❝ Heartfelt advice: go see Daniele live, you’ll fall in love.

❝ “Unò-Duè” is the brightest and richest-sounding album in Silvestri’s entire career, a joy for the ears, for a good mood etc... etc...

❝ This is an album to have and to preserve well.

❝ A 72-year-old singer who performed for over 3 hours without ever holding back.

❝ At the beginning of 1977, Claudio Baglioni releases his sixth album, "Solo".

❝ “Assolo” is an excellent live album, comparable to certain performances by Billy Joel or the best Elton John (thinking of 17-11-70, of course).

❝ "... And God was left riding the donkey, the devil is in heaven and made a nest there..."

❝ I believe this is, hands down, De André's most beautiful work and one of the highest in the Italian (and global, since it was also appreciated by a certain David Byrne) songwriting landscape.

❝ Negrita: a name associated for a few years now with the caption: "Italian rock" and this too fits just right.

❝ "Buy the album, this is better than Sex".

❝ The genuineness is probably the greatest virtue of this 1997 album by Negrita: a handful of old-school rock songs, with prominent guitars and Pau's voice navigating through lyrics that tackle themes such as love and disillusionment, without neglecting purely light-hearted and ironic episodes.

❝ what a mess

❝ Because truth and simplicity are the only things people who are lonely need…

❝ It's impossible not to listen to it more than once "It's just that. . when you don't return and it's already late and outside it's dark there is no solution, this house smells of you".

❝ "Primo Piano: Gianni Morandi" from 1998 is a splendid example of a collection published without any logical criteria: it is so approximative and senseless that it becomes captivating in its ugliness.

❝ "Uno Su Mille" is known by everyone, also because sooner or later many find themselves humming it when times are tough, and you need an extra pinch of strength.

❝ What to say, a false step in the successful career of one of our most famous compatriots.

❝ "'Bufalo Bill' is this cross and delight of mine: well, if I could, I would probably redo it with better attention to sounds and arrangements. I did it that way, bare and essential, to punish myself for having made 'Rimmel,' which had sold too much... crazy stuff!"

❝ "To understand De Gregori, you must not just listen to him; you have to feel him."

❝ "Captain, I did not want to tell you, but there is a white woman in the middle of the sea... so enormous, fresh and dark, that one never tires of looking at her..."

❝ The killer inside is like an injection, you can’t stop it and it spares no one, no one escapes the deadline.

❝ If I were God... and I could very well be, otherwise I don’t see who!

❝ Gaber, who was a Communist, recalls what Communism was, admitting, even with obedient and humble mea culpas and with his incomparable irony, what the former wanted to be and what 'communism' has transformed into error. Or horror.

❝ “Ideogrammi is not a record”, it's a miracle...

❝ No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find the black-and-white video of the TV broadcast where, in the autumn of 1973, Patty Pravo sang “Pazza Idea,” the summer hit of that year.

❝ But now Bowie is dead, and Pravo seems made of wax.

❝ «I love doing radio. It’s perhaps the mass communication medium I prefer, it’s intimate and sensual, and allows direct emotional contact, without filters. [...] Sometimes, while the record is playing, I leave the microphone open so that my breath is felt subliminally. And then there are the calls that allow me to give a voice to all those I talk to, and you can imagine yourself in their homes, in their lives… Doing radio this way, sometimes, becomes art.»

❝ One of the album’s high points is finally the concluding "Scimmia", one of the most dramatic pieces about drugs composed in Italy.

❝ It is not essential to express a definitive judgment on this work; the five stars, as well as the review, are just a necessary act.

❝ Within me live my identical life of microorganisms that do not know they belong to my body... To which body do I belong?

❝ ...and my teacher taught me how difficult it is to find the dawn within the dusk...

❝ The album, very enjoyable, wisely arranged, rich not only in guitar riffs but also in brass that make it fuller and more complete, puts Gaetano Curreri's powerful voice to the test, probably at its best period.

❝ "La Faccia Delle Donne" certainly represents the highest point of Stadio's career, even though it doesn't mean they haven't made other great albums ("Canzoni Alla Radio", "Siamo Tutti Elefanti Inventati", "Stabiliamo Un Contatto").

❝ The set list, then, is absolutely commendable.

❝ “Se telefonando” is undoubtedly an absolute masterpiece of universal value not only for its musical part but also for its lyrics

❝ “Mina quasi Jannacci” is the testimony of perhaps the most mature and intense period of Ms. Mazzini’s long career;

❝ ‘Cremona’, an album of striking crystalline brilliance produced in 1996 and in my opinion, the most beautiful album of the decade for this ALL-ROUND SINGER.

❝ And while everything burns, there is a flower that never dies.

❝ Life is tragic, life is stupid, yet it is beautiful, because it is useless.

❝ Love in violence a year ago, violence in love today.

❝ Largo all'avanguardia, siete un pubblico di merda, applaudite per inerzia

❝ "make way for the avant-garde, you're a shit audience,"

❝ The Skiantos formed in 1977 in Bologna under the spiritual guidance of Roberto "Freak" Antoni.

❝ In my opinion, the PNT are one of the best realities in the Italian scene.

❝ Because at 24, these Penguins are perfectly at ease telling others' stories as if they had collected their own for a century.

❝ Meanwhile, I've skipped dinner and moreover heard that ***** song by Pinguini Tattici (YUK!) too many times.

❝ No joke: I would marry him. Even right away.

❝ Awarded in 2013 with the Targa Tenco for best album of the year.

❝ And what if songwriters still existed? The ones with a capital "S", I mean.

❝ Alex Baroni, who in my opinion is one of the most beautiful voices to have appeared in the Italian music scene, a splendid voice that transmits powerful emotions to me, very powerful ones.

❝ “To end with just a few, simple words: one of the highest points of Italian songwriting.”

❝ “The usual dish, but never, really never, cooked so well.”

❝ “This is the album that definitively establishes Ivano Fossati as a first-rate musician.”

❝ Important premise: never judge an album by its cover!

❝ …if I take a side, I am indeed taking a side…

❝ They invented privileges for parliamentary friends... they invented that sometimes war is needed... to aid progress on this earth... Wake up.

❝ “Sometimes all it takes is a song. A song convinces, seduces, attracts; it is a siren that with its song draws you towards it and never lets you go.”

❝ “I consider Gazzè one of the most interesting Italian singer-songwriters of the last ten years”

❝ “Highly recommended.”

❝ Greasy as never before, the very charming Anna Oxa kept the (Sanremo) world on edge for several long seconds of deep concentration before performing (wonderfully) on the Ariston theater stage.

❝ “there is no answer. Each of us is everyone and no one. Love remains, perhaps, to tell us who we are”

❝ “the roads are right, even the wrong ones, just never be certain. I have no certainties but only doubts”

❝ “those who believe they can save themselves never save themselves alone, if you have no companions your road has no outlets to the sun”

❝ His voice, on the other hand, was as intact as the purest crystal.

❝ Ultimately, a good ethno-jazz blend that, perhaps, even Peter Gabriel couldn’t have conceived.

❝ Abacada a Mediterranean folk album full of Launeddas, Accordions, Bouzouki, Tamorra, Tar, Kanjira.

❝ The driving piece was "Mare mare," followed by the famous "Ci vuole un fisico bestiale."

❝ Here, though, in this album with the incredible (and at the time true) title, everything spins perfectly.

❝ there are indeed many silent people, they are shy presences hidden among the crowd
