almost-classic "nocturne" sung in two voices by Sting and Stewart Copeland with a bitter text (the feelings of a death row inmate before execution) that showcases the perfect formula encapsulated by the Police at the time: from the initial bass cadence (immediately "stolen" by Stevie Nicks), to that unmistakable rhythm that only Copeland could infuse into Summers' extraordinary work (often unjustly underrated) who here does a bit of everything: arpeggio, rhythm, and a piercing final solo. more

It’s difficult to talk about a group like the Bavarians Popol Vuh, pioneers of a music that often touches the sacred, both in the ascetic electronic experiments of the soundtrack for Werner Herzog's great film "Aguirre" and with the "profane mass" "Hosianna Mantra," an unprecedented synthesis of Christian mysticism, Gregorian liturgy, and Hindu mantras. This is a folk piece that ends in an ecstatic and optimistic way the self-titled album and features Renate Knaup on vocals. more

Aside from the glam, Ferry's hedonism, and everything else (which may or may not appeal to you), the Roxy Music were a great band, perhaps unique in blending the immediacy of rock with a certain sophistication, especially musical, all very British. This one, one of my favorites, boasts an anthology-worthy slow fade-in, an excellent bass line, and a marvelous hyper-flanger solo by Jobson on electric violin. more

The Stooges — T.V. Eye | DeRank™: 0,00

Murky urban guerrilla rock from the Stooges. This one is from their best album “Fun House” and features the barbaric scream (!) of Iggy Pop and the metallic, obsessive riff of Ron Asheton, which sets the perfect stage for the singer's furious exhibitionism. more

The formation of phenomena recruited by the brilliant guitarist John McLaughlin with the blessing of Miles Davis and the Indian guru Sri Chinmoy: their first two albums represent for me the best of a genre (Jazz Rock/Fusion) that can sometimes lean too much towards sterile virtuosity. more

The star of Blind Faith shone briefly and left behind an uneven album, but in its best moments, like this masterpiece by Winwood, it brings together the finest elements of Cream, Family, and Traffic. There is also an electric version of the piece, but the beauty of this one, built on the fingerpicking of Winwood's and Clapton's two acoustics with Baker working the brushes, remains unmatched. The version presented in the recent tour of the two musicians is also beautiful. more

Nocenzi's superb piano playing and Di Giacomo's poignant interpretation give this authentic poetry in music the dignity of an operatic aria. Traditional and innovative at the same time. more

probably my favorite American group from the sixties because, starting from folk rock, they experimented with almost everything in just a few years: from jazz to psychedelia, from electronics to country rock. In particular, I have a soft spot for Crosby's style and his unmatched voice, which here sings, in his own way, a fleeting melody over a delicate arpeggio set to the rhythm of a light bossa that seems to slowly fade into nothingness. McGuinn's 12-string solo, somewhere between Coltrane and Indian ragas, follows. more

Fleetwood Mac — English Rose | DeRank™: 3,00

Excellent compilation that features tracks already appeared on "Mr. Wonderful" and others that are unreleased or never released on the group's previous two studio albums. And it is in this aspect that the strong pieces of the album can be found, which deserves a 5 thanks to two masterpieces from the usual genius of Peter Green, the famous "Black Magic Woman" and the instrumental gem "Albatross," the latter, in my opinion, truly the peak of this album. As for the cover, I don't know if it's more amusing or horrifying. more

Debut album for the rock-blues trio, a bolt from the blue in the musical landscape of the '80s. The world welcomes a new guitar hero, an exceptional musician who left us too soon. The title track and "Pride and Joy" standout, great album... more

One of the most beautiful albums of the '60s, the creativity of the Argent-White duo is exceptional, featuring great tracks, above all "Care of Cell '44," "A Rose for Emily," and the famous "Time Of The Season"... more

Smashing Pumpkins — Adore | DeRank™: 4,56

One of the most controversial (and difficult to evaluate) albums in history. The record I would NEVER review, not even if they paid me or tied me to a chair. For me, it lacks just a bit to be perfect; it has masterpiece tracks, it may also seem boring at times, but in parts the atmospheres are sublime. It’s an album that should not be judged superficially. more

Lenny Kravitz | DeRank™: 6,61

When he wants to do beautiful things, and not just a little, he shows that he knows how to do them. When he wants to do nonsense purely for the sake of increasing his bank account, he shows that he knows how to do that too. When he wants to piss off the detractors who call him "a spoiled, pretentious trendsetter," he shows that he knows how to do that as well. This man knows how to do everything. more
