The Beatles — Abbey Road | DeRank™: 3,82

My favorite album by the beetles. A perfect record. It may be true that they didn't invent anything and that they were just the megaphone for someone else's inventions, but in my opinion, there are few melodists like the good Mecca. And Lennon is, for me, one of the greatest lyricists in the realm of popular music. more

Important in the '80s: for the angry "War," the beautiful "The Unforgettable Fire," the unforgettable "The Joshua Tree," and the experimental "Achtung Baby," in my opinion their masterpiece. After? (Almost) nothing. more

Genesis — Trespass | DeRank™: 0,00

Like the early Crimson, Trespass is all about the dynamics between quiet pastoral moments (12-string guitar, flute) or liturgical ones (organ, choir) and sudden Bach-like bursts from the organ with electric guitar backing. Overall, the mellotron is still used with moderation (I particularly love the trembling intro/outro of "White Mountain") compared to the later works. more

The album clearly shows certain Jazz-Rock/Fusion influences, probably due to Collins, even though some of the more experimental adventurousness of "The Lamb" is no longer present, and the contribution of Gabriel's brilliant lyrics is also missing. That said, "A Trick of The Tail" is a very eclectic and varied album, in the best tradition of the classic Genesis who knew how to be both complex and accessible, light and mystical, humorous and solemn, cynical and romantic, all at the same time. more

Released in the year of grace 1968, “Shine on Brightly” is not only one of the most successful albums by Procol Harum but also one of the cornerstones of Art Rock, positioning itself at an ideal stylistic crossroads between the glorious English R&B school, the psychedelic echoes of the past Summer of Love, and the progressive mingling with classical music that would later define the emerging progressive genre. Furthermore, compared to the debut of the previous year, it represents a significant advancement in terms of sound. more

A magnificent multimedia hyper-album avant la lettre, intriguing and unprecedented in its blend of vastly different imaginaries (graffiti street gangs, Greco-Roman mythology, the various metaphysical paths of spiritual redemption from Buddhism to Dante, etc.).
While not reaching the perfection of Foxtrot (also due to the transitional instrumentals) and representing rather a digression in the stylistic evolution of the group, which would indeed record Trick of the Tail as if nothing had happened. more

More known for being the first group of Red Canzian and for being one of the leading bands of BLA BLA, the legendary label of early Battiato, who, if I'm not mistaken, also wrote a song for them. The musical quality is good, while the sound quality is really terrible. more

Bachian Rock with great impact from ROVESCIO DELLA MEDAGLIA, a band that, to be honest, had a harder rock background. CONTAMINAZIONE, which features collaboration with maestro Bacalov (closing an ideal trilogy composed of NT's "CONCERTO GROSSO" and Osanna's "Milano Calibro 9"). more

The first "Inn" of Italian prog is another group that deserved more fortune. Notable tracks include SOGNO, RISVEGLIO, and... which closes their first album referencing the theme from "Spartacus" and, I believe, also paying homage to the great Bill Evans. more

Unreleased two keyboards (of every kind) and drums. The first is the son of the famous maestro Carlo and brother of Alida Chelli; the second is not related to the President of the Chamber. "Dolce Sorella" is highlighted, opening with a Wagnerian quote on the organ and a singing style that somewhat resembles early Fossati. more

A group that boasts the talented Jenny Sorrenti in vocals. Both she and her brother (being Anglo-Italian) brought a truly innovative singing style to Italy at the time, heavily influenced by English folk. This is their second album, LA CASA DEL LAGO, which I actually like a little bit more than the first one because it feels more concrete and Latin. more

Mediterranean jazz rock group formed in 1971 under the shadow of the dome, which opened for concerts of Soft Machine and Weather Report, not only holding its own but…, and played all over Europe at various festivals.
The title track from their second album begins with a classical arpeggio by Tony Sidney, followed by a beautiful and poignant theme on bass by Giovanni Tommaso. Then the piece explodes with a superb soprano sax solo by Claudio Fasoli over the rolls of Bruno Biriaco. more

This is one of the key tracks in his discography, famous for its devastating final percussive moment (thanks to the Burundian percussionists), but what truly makes the difference for me is the atmosphere evoked by Gabriellana's art with those ancestral sounds crafted by the Fairlight, but above all with that unique way of interpreting the piece and transporting the listener into the most primitive recesses of more

If 1979 was a golden year for the Police, the same can be said for the brilliant David Byrne who, in addition to the magnificent "Fear of Music," also recorded the global ethno-funk of "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," both with the fundamental manipulative intervention of Brian Eno. This track comes from "Fear of Music," the quintessential anxious and paranoid album, black like the rubber floor on the cover. But it was dark times, then as now. more
