Dire Straits — Making Movies | DeRank™: 3,85

Stunning and incredibly refined album, thanks to Mr. Knopfler's guitar and Bittan's piano, borrowed from the E Street Band. "Tunnel Of Love," "Romeo and Juliet," and "Skateaway" are three masterpieces, while the rest is of high caliber. more

Dire Straits — Communiquè | DeRank™: 1,64

Together with its one-year-older twin, the eponymous Dire Straits, Communiqué represents the essence of that guitar sound, the Magical Touch, that Mr. Knopfler has gifted us; and to give substance to what I've written, I quote the concluding part of "Where do you think you're going?" where the final fade-out of the guitar will continue to bestow upon me those dazzling emotions that have always accompanied its wonderful and crystalline progression. more
Sparklehorse -It's a wonderful life
hjhhjij
The last album in a trilogy of masterpieces, this jewel from 2001; another splendid hit for Mark Linkous-Sparklehorse. An album of disarming delicacy, only occasionally interrupted ("Piano Fire," "King of Nails," and the madness moment of Tom Waits in "Dog Door"). Wonderful songs one after another and collaborations utilized to perfection (Waits, PJ Harvey, and John Parish, with Dave Fridmann; the latter two not only play bass and piano on some tracks but are also co-producers). "Eyepennies" eternal... more

John Cale | DeRank™: 0,47

He was the true mastermind behind the "miracle" of Velvet Underground. His solo career is excellent, featuring pop gems (Vintage Violence, Paris 1919) and complex works (Fear, but especially Music for a New Society). It’s worth noting that he is a musician of considerable caliber (he plays viola and piano exceptionally well and manages with bass, guitar, organ, celesta) and possesses a rather unique voice. Indeed, in certain cases, a 5 is unavoidable. more

Still with this damn Seven Nation Army. The White Stripes are something else: bluesy rock, melancholic yet furious at the same time, badass garage rock, minimalist punk but also great skill and technique (from Jack, Meg brings the tits). So I don’t understand what could be better. more

Really a great band, their hardcore punk touch derived from the same Discharge has always appealed to me, not to mention that they have influenced countless bands in various metal scenes, including the black metal movement itself. Oh, I almost forgot........... UH!! more

Siouxsie and the Banshees -Join Hands
Lao Tze
1979: it's not the most beautiful, but in my opinion, it's the most groundbreaking of the Banshees, because it marks the turning point towards the '80s and Siouxsie's transformation into a pagan idol to be worshipped among the goddesses of Dark mythology. "Icon" and "The Lord's Prayer" (disconcerting, almost the entire B-side occupied by a profaned Pater Noster) are synonymous with New Wave. You don't enter the ranks of the Greatest of All Time by chance. more

The Birthday Party — Junk Yard | DeRank™: 8,55

One of my favorite albums from the '80s and my personal favorite from the band in question. Bacchanals, orgies, and rituals of the darkest, most deviant, and animalistic Blues unfold for 40 minutes without restraint, the aggression and fury reaching grotesque peaks, with Cave at the most beastly moment of his entire career. A stunning record as much as it is important and seminal, much like the entire work of the Birthday Party in the end. Immense. more
