The controversial definitions

I'm not completely convinced by everything on this album, including the interludes and the Girotondo, but for the devil, I'm sure it's De André's first masterpiece. To come out in Italy in 1968 (!) with an album so steeped in death and darkness, to release "Il cantico dei drogati," "La ballata degli impiccati," and the final recitative and choral piece in '68... I can't give it less than a 5. This album fully demonstrates the historical importance and revolutionary impact he had on Italian music. more

A book on the First World War described by a naturalist in an almost scientifically detached manner. Exciting and raw in its realism. The best book on the Great War. more

runrig — recovery | DeRank™: 0,00

i runrig are a Scottish rock band that fights for the rights of Gaelic minorities. They blend Scottish folk with an enjoyable almost-hard-rock sound. This is their most enjoyable work, very much in the '80s style. more

Yes — Close To The Edge | DeRank™: 3,00

The masterpiece by Yes achieves perfection, distancing itself from the prog drift for a robust and progressive art rock. After this album, they will get lost in self-referential meanders until the end. more

Jamiroquai | DeRank™: 0,00

A band that churns out songs with irresistible grooves and beautiful sounds, featuring a charismatic leader with a lovely and agile voice (despite it having lowered over the years) and talented musicians. Among my favorites in the Pop/Funk/Acid Jazz genre, although I acknowledge that their musical offerings haven't always been of high quality (I particularly love the first three albums; the rest of their work is a bit hit or miss). more
