Counting Crows | DeRank™: 0,00

they made great light rock with country-folk influences. They are not at all an indie rock band (as is often said), they are exquisitely classic (among other things, Duritz's influences are Dylan, Morrison (Van), and the Boss) more

Tom Waits | DeRank™: 0,56

I love her blues and experimental pieces; her voice is divine. I definitely appreciate her jazz work less, as I find it quite boring (even though the lyrics remain valuable, of course). She remains a Unique and incomparable artist and figure. more

Premiata Forneria Marconi | DeRank™: 0,00

Very talented musicians, unfortunately, out of about 20 albums, only a few songs are remembered. So something doesn't add up. more

Rancid — Rancid | DeRank™: 0,00

Never been a fan of theirs, quite the opposite. But this album literally kicks ass. No Ska, no Reggae, no concessions to pop, just 22 shards of pure, raw, and noisy Hardcore Punk. And it's done right. It makes me furious like a beast when I think about their other works that are pretty mediocre to me... more

Bruce Springsteen | DeRank™: -0,01

Extraordinary Artist and Figure. Up to Nebraska (inclusive) undoubtedly one of the greatest. Since born in the usa, he has still produced some masterpieces, but he has essentially become a pop star. more

Edda Dell'Orso | DeRank™: 0,00

A Lady of music. Her voice has helped to immortalize famous film soundtracks. I consider "Metti Una Sera A Cena," with her vocal contribution, one of the finest pages written by Morricone. She lent her voice, among others, to De André and De Gregori. A figure never too celebrated. To get to know her, I recommend the collection "Al Cinema Con.....Edda Dell'Orso." more

Danny Boyle | DeRank™: 0,00

Well, I don't find this guy a great director AT ALL... I'll grant him Trainspotting, which I didn't even like the book (which, mind you, is a good 3 rungs MINIMUM above the film), I'll give a pass to The Millionaire, which is nice enough, but from there to winning 8 Oscars, there's quite a leap... but I certainly can't overlook embarrassing stuff like 28 Days or that piece of crap The Beach, absolutely not. more

Yngwie Malmsteen — Trilogy | DeRank™: 0,00

The last one I managed to listen to in full and considered with a minimum of seriousness... I remember there was that kind of suite, with the same name, that with some effort could be listened to, a lot of skill involved, but above all, I remember that crazy trash of the video for "You Don't Remember...", with him throwing the guitar in the air... more

Grateful Dead — Anthem Of The Sun | DeRank™: 0,00

A crazy cut-and-paste studio/live job that resulted in one of the most acid and unclassifiable posters of that '68 season. "Alligator" is already a masterpiece, with its very Zappa-like use of the kazoo, before the final feedback from Garcia totally annihilates you. more
