Pixies | DeRank™: 0,48

Surf, Garage, ''Alternative'', Hardcore, Power Pop, Silence and Destruction, Melodies and Distortions. A great, happy, and fitting blend. The Pixies have been the foundation and reference point for many bands and musicians. It's unnecessary to say that Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are my favorites (the others like Bossanova I like less but they are still worth a listen). more

Death | DeRank™: 3,00

Ah..... outrageously fantastic band, from their raw and amazing debut with Scream Bloody Gore to the fantastic Leprosy and the progressive albums like Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic. Never banal or in any way repetitive (e.g. Cannibal Corpse), creating music and lyrics that almost bordered on poetry and philosophy. CREATORS and REFINERS of Death Metal as a whole. An essential band for lovers of Music. more

I have it in both CD and vinyl format. A striking debut, pristine and stunning from Knopfler's band, perhaps their best for sound and style. Besides the very popular "Sultans of Swing," worth mentioning are the airy and beautiful intro of "Down to Waterline," the groovy "Six Blade Knife" (damn, the bass!), and the bluesy "In the Gallery." Wonderful. more

I can't find a more sincere writer than him, I can't find one who didn’t want to teach you anything like he did, but instead taught me a lot. Simply my favorite writer alongside Pirandello and Dostoevsky. more

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
