Godflesh | DeRank™: 2,76

After being one of the architects of the birth of Grindcore, Justin Broadrick shapes with his new creature an artificial machine of cerebral and mind-bending sounds. Guitar and bass create a deafening, mantric wall of colossal proportions, which the drum machine amplifies into a primordial destabilizing industrial sound. Generational. more

De...Marga...
The swan song concerning the studio works of Thin White Rope; and it's truly a shame that their career lasted only a few intense years, spent largely on the road. But they are still capable of giving us memorable songs like the very short "Tina and Glen" with its country-western tones, thanks to the proverbial guitar strokes that were a distinctive trademark of Guy and Roger; and then comes "Hunter's Moon" with that fluid instrumental conclusion...without words. more

Pink Floyd | DeRank™: 0,00

First extraordinary album, eternal among my collection and listened to for a long time. The post-Barrett albums feel a bit too heavy to me, sometimes even boring. Dark Side of the Moon, however, is nice. more

The Clash | DeRank™: 0,42

The punk I adore the most so far is Joe Strummer; I doubt anyone can match him... A fundamental band, great provocateurs, and Mick Jones is a madman! more

CCCP Fedeli alla linea | DeRank™: 0,03

Genius. Punk with a certain "artistic" depth, at least in the first album! It's a shame about Ferretti, who seems to have sparked discussions among many of the band's supporters... One of the last names in my discovery of old music. more

Robert Plant | DeRank™: 1,20

A voice not easily bearable as far as I'm concerned. A great image of style and perfectly in symbiosis with the music of Led Zeppelin! Highly inspirational, a tremendous lyricist and, for me, too underrated! more

Jimmy Page | DeRank™: 0,00

Clear demonstration that a guitarist focused solely on technique is worth as much as an accordion player at a Talent Show. Page is indisputable... Riff and career with Led Zeppelin are legendary! more

Syd Barrett | DeRank™: 0,00

A genius. Deep respect for the "mad diamond" of Pink Floyd. I love his way of producing "spatial" psychedelia... Solo albums are not much less than the work with PF! It lasted too short :(_ more

Maureen Tucker | DeRank™: 0,00

Tiny yet violent... Despite a subdued Lou Reed, in 1993, at 50 years old and with 5 children on his shoulders, he still managed to evoke all the primal and energetic anger of the percussion signature of the Velvet Underground. Deep respect! more

Sterling Morrison | DeRank™: 0,00

The one who suffered the most from the Velvet Underground experience. He never accepted Lou Reed's horrendous behavior (even at the 93 reunion), and in the end, he was consumed by a terrible illness. Reed praised him after his death, but he didn't show up at his funeral, just like he had been absent for 20 years of silence. Essential to the sick sound of the V.U.! more

John Cale | DeRank™: 0,00

In the '60s, a mad experimentalist: he wanted to change the atmospheric conditions with music, to name just one. A significant alchemical element of the Velvet Underground. A few good solo albums. more

Divine album. A solemn work of mystical psychedelic folk, perhaps one of the best works by that genius Ben Chasny, who is also active in the incredibly loud and immense Comets On Fire. And during the lengthy mass of the concluding "River Of Transfiguration," it feels as if one is caught up in a magical ritual in some Tibetan monastery. Under peyote. Huge. more

Garcia | DeRank™: 0,00

Excellent technician, few words and lots of actions. The only flaw: at the moment he can't get rid of the senators (and the banners) to truly rebuild the team. more

Frank Zappa — Absolutely Free | DeRank™: 6,00

This morning, a dear friend of mine showed up at my house. We've never exchanged gifts in thirty years, and he brought me this album as an Easter gift, which adds to my little Zappa collection. I find it wonderful; everything is here: imagination, technique, genius. I would like to know your impressions, as many of you are more informed than I am; anyone who wants to share news, curiosities, and opinions, I thank you. (Just for the record, I reciprocated by buying him the vinyl today, found at a good price.) more

UFO — PHENOMENON | DeRank™: 0,00

After two solid albums of blues-oriented space rock, the English group delivers an excellent work from '74, featuring the formidable German guitarist Michael Schenker, former Scorpion. Powerful and well-played hard rock (notably the famous "Doctor Doctor"), great rock songs with acoustic ballads enhanced by superb vocal harmonization. Then there's a great producer, Leo Lyons, former bassist of Ten Years After... more

Killing Floor — Out of Uranus | DeRank™: 0,00

Unjustly regarded as a second-rate band in the English music scene, Killing Floor have talent to spare, with a blues rock infused with psychedelia that highlights all the musicians' qualities. The title track is a journey into the deepest and unknown space, a masterpiece, while "Call For The Politicians" and the fierce "Acid Bean" are also excellent. Another musical gem from 1970... more

Progenie Terrestre Pura | DeRank™: 0,15

Seriously?? No one has defined them?? Anyway, they have been an exceptional discovery, truly. Extraterrestrial atmospheres, robotic voice, and to top it off, the roughness (but at times also the grace) of the guitars. It could be described as a sort of "Space Black Metal." more
