Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger (Official HD Remastered Video)

"Without me, today he would still be ironing underwear."
A brother said this about the other brother, but guess which one.

The fact is, it’s been 25 years since the album that you know by name, even though it seems like yesterday.
And even though the single in question was the hit of spring '96, when everyone (absolutely everyone, even those who hadn't noticed before) got acquainted with these faces.

Was it really a "generational" album? Did it really make its mark in the history of Music - and if so, in what way and to what extent exactly?
Were they perhaps the greatest of the '90s and beyond? (excluding four from Liverpool - if we must)
Did you love them, did you like them or was it instinctive and uncontrollable hatred at the mere sound of the cough between Roll With It and Wonderwall?
And more importantly: without this album (and the merits that one of the two brothers - but guess which one - attributes only to himself), would they really be ironing underwear in 2020?

Contextualize, but only if you think it’s necessary.

Premise, since unintentionally @[rossana roma] made me light up some bulbs in my head, I thought of this video I saw this morning as soon as I arrived at the ehm work, but then I didn’t include it in my listening, because I don’t even know why. And oh, there's also Dita, not just lace & figs...

Picking up on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I allow myself to make a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, namely a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...

No. 6: "Terra Mia" (1977)
We are in the second half of the 1970s, and a then twenty-two-year-old Pino Daniele makes his debut with this album. An album that, to be honest, has very little to do with almost everything that will come after: it is his most "Neapolitan" record, still extremely tied to the popular tradition (influences that will already be partially lost with the next one), but highly inspired. It probably remains his least "original" album musically speaking, but at the same time, it is the most heartfelt and sincere. In some ways also "strange," like in the splendid title track, permeated with death and unease but also with hope, an aspect that makes it a unique album in his discography and beyond.
Overall rating 8.5

The masterpiece of the album: 'Na Tazzulella 'E Cafè (Remastered 2008)

5th: IVANGARAGE
After a more commercial and less inspired period, Ivan decides in 1989 to rise up in grand style with a spicy, gritty, and inspired album like none he had created since the 80s. Ivangarage is an album that returns to rock; in fact, one could say that Ivangarage attempts the path of hard rock: it features tracks like Prudenza mai, a true manifesto of intent and style, Ora et labora, about the life of monks, Psychedelico, a pure blend of madness, Un uomo, where Ivan makes it clear that he is not finished yet; these 4 are the most extreme tracks ever produced by Ivan, where the guitar is played in a dirty and raw manner, even more so than on certain tracks from Agnese dolce Agnese (Fame, Veleno all'autogrill, Dottor Jeckill and Mister Hyde, Fuoco sulla collina). But Ivangarage is not just healthy and dirty rock: there are wonderful ballads like Guagliò guagliò and Radici nel vento, a sweet dedication to a deceased friend in Noi non moriremo mai, and I metallari, a piece that from its title hints at guitar riffs left and right but is actually a ballad that seeks to dismantle the figure of the metalhead. Additionally, we also have the new dark story Jhonny non c'entra, a (half) true story of a 7-year-old boy who kills his father, and the concluding and ironic E mò che vuoi, with lyrics that start off angry and turn romantic (a curious way to end an album...). What can be said in conclusion of this Ivangarage? An album that retrieves Ivan's pure vein, divided between sardonic and gritty rock and beautiful ballads, where the very limit of Italian rock is surpassed, creating hard rock episodes that are more reminiscent of British/American rock than made-in-Italy rock; in short, from any perspective one looks at it, Ivangarage will remain a unique case in our artist's discography and one of Ivan's episodes, alongside the 4 albums released between '77 and '80.

The gem: Prudenza mai
