Stan Laurel | DeRank™: 0,00

I don't know if you've put them together (I couldn't find them), but I just wanted to say that STAN & OLLIE have been the greatest comedy duo of all time. Like the true greats, by the way, just to avoid saying the usual things, what I love about them, aside from their extraordinary talent, is their surprising modernity, their irreverence and boldness in relation to the times they lived in. Unmatched. more

Joy Division | DeRank™: 1,20

The seminal greatness of this group is needless to emphasize; Joy Division, with their minimalism—so far removed from iconoclastic and "flashy" bands like Bauhaus or Virgin Prunes—changed the history of rock, creating a unique and unmistakable blend. I will always be grateful to Ian Curtis for his sensitivity, greatness, and humanity in knowing how to transform art into something epidermal. Thank you, Ian. more

Area | DeRank™: 1,11

My absolute favorites. 5 is obviously far too few. Innovation, experimentation, avant-garde, mastery. A significant part of Italian music died in a hospital room in New York on June 13, 1979. I can't help but cry when I think of who dominates the Italian charts today. more

Renato Zero | DeRank™: 0,29

Original and exuberant singer-songwriter later appointed as a professor of Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Too bad he was killed by Lord Voldemort at the end of the seventh book to gain mastery over the Elder Wand; who knows how his artistic career could have continued. more

It's really hard for me to choose a favorite album by the Mothers from Freak Out! to Weasels. This one competes with Absolutely Free. Right now, it's on repeat. The symphony of chaos. more

"...like an old cook in a kitchen
scolds the ghosts of gourmets
in a slow lullaby? ..." Only he could conjure up the ghosts of gourmets, unmatched. more

Paola & Chiara | DeRank™: -0,08

The musical proposal has simply eclipsed in the face of the lesbo-incestuous suggestions that have always been ridden (not only in a figurative sense…). It’s hard to be credible when you insist on such an image. Anyway, they are part of that large group of girls who, inexplicably, prefer a music-singing career over a pornographic one… Girls, you’ve chosen the wrong profession!! more

Mauro Repetto | DeRank™: 3,29

A musical figure destined to enter legend, his story could remind one of Syd Barrett, given the aura of mystery surrounding the lives of these two characters since they left their respective bands. He is the perfect exemplification of the saying "chi lascia la strada vecchia per la nuova sa quel che lascia ma non sa quel che trova." His solo album is undoubtedly better than all the musical output of Max Pezzali since 1995. more

tUnE-YaRdS | DeRank™: 0,86

One of the "New Kinda Woman" of post-indie. Creative and eccentric, schizo and sincere; with her lo-fi hodgepodge of indie, folk, jazz, world, hip-hop, and avant-garde, Merrill 'tUnE-YaRdS' Garbus helps to finally give a stable shape to post-pop. more

Buck 65 | DeRank™: 0,00

More Hip than Hop. Richard Terfry, aka Buck 65, is, in spirit, a bohemian. A Tom Waits of rap, injecting alternating doses of beatnik/junkie poeticism and healthy sarcasm into his loose rhymes. A wizard of turntablism whose experimentalism strays from MC orthodoxy but not from the genre's canons. more

Lao Tze
Piece of a SOUNDTRACK FROM HELL, period. Then musically I prefer "Suspiria" but that's another story, due to a personal reason that has nothing to do with either film, but really... here we are on levels of INSTRUMENTAL INTELLIGENCE (which is not just technique, not at all) that are almost embarrassing… more

Ultravox — Ha! Ha! Ha! | DeRank™: 0,15

Great tracks like 'The Frozen Ones', 'Distant Smile', and 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'. I've been on the lookout for a good live album from the Foxx era (maybe with the 'Systems Of Romance' lineup), I've asked around here but nobody's paid me any mind. The version of Hiroshima I prefer is Ultravox! - Hiroshima Mon Amour (1977)
