Radiohead | DeRank™: 0,00

The nicest thing the eminent critic Piero Scaruffi has said about Radiohead is the conjunction "and." Beyond that, they are a band I like quite a bit (Ok Computer, Kid A are nice albums), but I don’t place them above many of their contemporaries and don’t acknowledge the reason for their exaltation. more

Meat Puppets — Meat Puppets | DeRank™: 7,62

The first two of the carne puppets are disks that drive me crazy because I love them so much. While in the subsequent "II" they can be found playing a sort of crazily energetic country&western with the grace of the dirtiest punk rockers, here it’s just pure hardcore madness. Recorded, by their own admission, with too much acid in circulation, it’s one of the dirtiest and most sick records of punk. Awkward tracks, a high Beefheart shouting and howling disjointed phrases at the helm of a hardcore combo that... more

The album is certainly not bad but quite insubstantial, this first work by Martyn in partnership with his wife Beverley. The 4 tracks written by Beverley really get on my nerves, and the few good moments are obviously delivered by John (especially the title track, but "Woodstock", "John the Baptist" featuring Levon Helm on drums, and "Would You Believe Me" are also enjoyable). J. Martyn will make up for it, and with interest, already the following year, returning to his solo career and reaching his peaks. more

Ramones | DeRank™: 2,57

As music itself, I quite like it without being crazy about it (I prefer the Clash). They changed music like few others in the world, plus I find them likable. more

Black Oak Arkansas | DeRank™: 0,00

Formation from Black Oak, Arkansas, born in the '60s in a Beatles/Byrds style, eventually achieving glory (at least domestically) as a fantastic Southern Rock band, with the unmistakable (grating, not very bearable) voice of the charismatic (and crazy) leader Jim "Dandy" Mangrum. Musically excellent, three strong and energetic guitars, great live shows, like at the famous "California Jamming" of '74... more

Alberto Fortis | DeRank™: 7,28

The singer-songwriter, originally from my Domodossola, has provided important pages in his long career, beautiful songs that have shaped my youth: "La Sedia di Lillà," "Settembre," "La Grande Grotta," "Milano e Vincenzo".... But his most intense episode, emotionally superior, remains "Il Duomo di Notte." Well done Alberto and thank you. more

J.J. Cale | DeRank™: 6,48

A few words, a lot of (great) music until a heart attack took him away last year. Shy, solitary, and reserved, JJ Cale is a prominent figure in American music over the last 40 years, creator of the "Tulsa sound," a guitarist with a slow but refined touch, playing few notes but the right ones, copied and covered by dozens of artists who made a fortune with his songs... more

Hüsker Dü — New Day Rising | DeRank™: 1,94

A huge album, right from the cover and the title, never so evocative and eloquent; released just a handful of months after "Zen Arcade," it showcases the unquantifiable and unparalleled prolificacy of the guys, who are moving towards compositional maturity. A work that has marked, pointed out, and traced a groove, a path to follow: and over the years it will be assimilated by hundreds of groups, thus demonstrating the enormity of Husker Du. A stratospheric opening, my favorite...EVOLUZIONE (ARMATA)... more

Fabri Fibra — Tradimento | DeRank™: 0,05

"Education is my tragedy. When I was in middle school, they showed us images of people praying. An exorcist tying a possessed person to a chair while they twisted and turned; it was clear they were acting! The teacher, on the other hand, was excited: 'Look at this demon drooling!'" more
