There was a time when I used to play Aqualung by Jethro live... but maybe it was a worse time... some nice lyrics over crappy songs, boring, that's it. more

Peter Gabriel — III | DeRank™: 5,33

Shall we start with the incredible ensemble of musicians playing for us? With Gabriel's interpretation? With the intrinsic value of the pieces? It doesn’t matter where we begin, one of the masterpieces of '80s music. From Intruder to Family Snapshot to Games Without Frontiers to Biko, an amazing album. more

Lucio Battisti — Emozioni | DeRank™: 3,00

With "Emozioni," Battisti begins a thirty-year story after which Italian music will never be the same. Then Fiori di rosa, fiori di pesco. Il tempo di morire. Mamma mia. more

Lucio Battisti — Don Giovanni | DeRank™: 0,13

Ah what a masterpiece. Electronic and Folk intertwine in Panella's first album to create what is perhaps, alongside Anima Latina, Battisti's absolute masterpiece. Here, the great songs abound: Madre Pennuta, Il Diluvio, Don Giovanni, Equivoci Amici, Il doppio gioco. more

Lucio Battisti — Il Mio Canto Libero | DeRank™: 8,07

Legendary, stunning, and unforgettable is the song that gives the album its title. La luce dell'est, Vento nel vento, Io vorrei... non vorrei... ma se vuoi only reinforce the value of a beautiful record. more

Wonderful Alice, wonderful the Musicians, wonderful Her Streets. But for me, the masterpiece is the track that closes the album: "Saigon." more

"and we are ready for anything, as long as we’re here." Although it’s a carbon copy of the woman cannon, the title track is sensational, one of the peaks of the Roman singer-songwriter. Then there are many great interpretations and a non-trivial tracklist, the splendid "Pilota di guerra." more

The Who — The Who Sell Out | DeRank™: 0,00

Townshend and companions shed their rebellious boyhood personas and kick off their series of masterpieces with a bizarre album, almost "Zappa-esque." more

The Clash — London Calling | DeRank™: 1,05

What an earthquake! The English quartet ridicules the Sex Pistols by offering a punk that isn’t really punk, given the immense influx of genres like rock, reggae, and ska. Title Track, Guns Of Brixton, The Card Cheat are my favorites, but each of the eighteen tracks is a spectacle. Chapeau. more

It's a challenging album, the first LP of the Australian singer-songwriter with the Seeds. The songs are anguished, and Cave's voice screams verses that are sometimes desperate, sometimes resigned, accompanied by music that moves forward dark and measured. Perhaps the best of the pathos can be found in the title track and in the long "A Box For Black Paul." more

We are faced with another amazing album, with particularly inspired texts. What was said about "The Good Son" holds true here; my favorite tracks are "The Mercy Seat," "Mercy," and "Slowly Goes The Night," but nothing goes to waste here either. Hero. more

In the discography of many of the greatest artists in history, this album could have been the pinnacle of it all, but in the case of Cave, the matter becomes incredibly thorny. In any case, the quality of melodies, lyrics, interpretation, and apocalyptic tension is at stratospheric levels, and the songs are all extraordinary. Personal favorites include the title track, Ship Song, and Lament. more

Inspiral Carpets — Life | DeRank™: 0,00

Well. An album that is hard to forget. The "sixties" organs of Clint Boon and beautiful post-punk rhythms - dry, tight, reminiscent of Julian Cope and the Teardrop Explodes up close. But here we were in Manchester (Oldham, to be precise) and not in Liverpool. The Ma(D)chester of the early, great Stone Roses. It was 1990. more

The Doors | DeRank™: 0,20

Unique, the magic of the "shaman" evoked by their works, The End for me a true anthem, the connection with the song then inspired me in part when I discovered the magic of Apocalypse Now, then so much more, times we didn’t experience...what a shame...Rip Ray/Jim, other giants of a musical universe that will never return. more

De...Marga...
It is the long and reflective "Why Aye Man" that opens with its gentle notes the third solo work, aside from the many collaborations and soundtracks, of Mark Knopfler; an album that has as its main thread the execution of acoustic textures, with the Scotsman's guitar always ready to bestow that unique, soft, and emotive touch. A subdued work that represents a journey back in time to rural America, releasing a charm with a taste of antiquity, wisdom... Bucolic... more
