The Records — Smashes, Crashes and Near Misses: The Best of the Records | DeRank™: 1,54

"Starry Eyes" ...representatives among the best of English Power Pop between the 70s and 80s. Among the first two albums (a third will also be released), I choose the compilation, which best represents them. more

Let's Active — Big Plans for Everybody | DeRank™: 1,54

A small forgotten gem from the 80s, a sort of "Jungle Power Pop." Probably the best album from Mitch Easter's band, how can we not mention "In Little Ways" and "Fell"? more

Bob Dylan — Highway 61 Revisited | DeRank™: 3,00

Discone, although perhaps not his most beautiful. "Desolation Row" is terrifying. The avant-garde will never cease to amaze us, but in popular music during this time, Bob left everyone behind with an embarrassingly easy ease, in terms of innovation. more

Marillion — Fugazi | DeRank™: 1,93

In my opinion, this is the masterpiece of the Fish era. More mature in sound than the first, more experimental than the nevertheless remarkable "Misplaced Childhood." more

Jeff Beck Group — Truth | DeRank™: 2,66

A seminal group in the history of rock blues, which alongside their cousins the Zeppelins, kicked off (according to many) hard rock in its early form. Beck showcases all the qualities he already displayed with the Yardbirds, while Stewart spits fire and brimstone with his voice. A really great record... more

Johnny Thunders — So Alone | DeRank™: 2,41

Tears disc for me. After releasing two of the coolest albums ever [the self-titled by the New York Dolls and L.A.M.F. with the Heartbreakers], Johnny delivers his third masterpiece in '79, his first solo effort. And, to be fair, the last one where he still manages to maintain a semblance of stability before his life and career get completely consumed by too much "living the Rock n' Roll".... more

Web — I spider | DeRank™: 0,94

A spectacular album steeped in mystery: an R'n'B band transformed by the immense Dave Lawson into a Prog-Act with a dark and enveloping sound, laced with Jazz and the Dark Sound so characteristic of the 1970s. An underground gem. more

The Pretty Things — Emotions | DeRank™: 0,00

It may not be on the level of the irresistible Get the Picture, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Cleaner, less raw and wild, more mature, more melodic, and vaguely psychedelic—it's the best possible transition between the PT of 1965 and those of S.F. Sorrow. Not everything lives up to the masterpiece, but it has some unforgettable tracks (for example, the opening track, "House of Ten," and "My Way"). For me, a very beautiful record, 4 generous stars. more

The Rolling Stones | DeRank™: 14,97

After Exile, it's better to let it go, but the poker dealt between '68 and '72 is legendary, 4 essential albums that have now become an integral part of my DNA. I'm not fond of certain forced and misplaced comparisons, but surely the Rolling Stones crushed them like cockroaches hehe. more

Incredible texts that deeply analyze behaviors, thoughts, ways of doing things, amid a thousand mental gymnastics and many other nice little things that I really enjoy. more

Enrico Ruggeri | DeRank™: 0,00

An exceptional yet overrated singer-songwriter, currently the best in Italy, able to write true poetry, a complete artist on all fronts who spans many genres in his songs, if only there were more like him. more
