Vasco Rossi

Musician

Vasco Rossi (born 1952) is an Italian singer-songwriter from Zocca, active since the late 1970s and widely known for pioneering a raw rock voice in Italian popular music and for massive stadium tours. He is commonly nicknamed "Blasco."

Praised for seminal late-1970s/1980s albums and live energy; later decades saw huge commercial success, frequent live/compilation releases and divided critical opinion. Signature tracks and moments frequently mentioned in reviews include "Albachiara", "Vita spericolata" and large stadium shows.

DeBaser reviews show a divided reception: strong praise for Vasco Rossi's late 1970s/1980s rock output and live energy, combined with criticism of later commercialisation and repetitive releases. Key praised albums include Non siamo mica gli americani, Bollicine and Nessun pericolo... per te, while later periods and compilations are often called derivative. Live albums and stadium shows are frequently discussed and polarising.

 The slumber of reason produces monsters, and sells them for about €20.

 Frankly unbearable today: swims in gold like Scrooge McDuck, is courted by dozens of famous advertising brands, and fills stadiums even when tickets cost 100 euros.
