The dumbest and at the same time the most difficult band of all time. You can only love them. more

After an album like "Here Are The Sonics!!!," all the other garage bands sounded to the ear more or less like the Santo California, or at best like the Cugini Di Campagna. more

Donovan | DeRank™: 0,00

A Scottish hippie wandering between pop and rock, undeniably brilliant, extroverted, sweet, sensitive, he’s not Dylan; at best, he’s Dylan on dextromethorphan hallucinations. Excuse the understatement. more

Fire on stage, in the music, in the lyrics, but above all in the balls. If there's a God to worship only when drunk, that is Arthur Brown. more

For Roy Wood, they were the last step towards the ELO, for English music one of the most eclectic and polymorphic bands of the late '60s. more

One of the most overlooked and fascinating ensembles of early English prog. Brilliant, unique, rare. more

A loser, a featherweight Californian kid who can't play a damn guitar decently. In two words: the Last Rocker. more

Kansas — Leftoverture | DeRank™: 0,00

The first American prog album to enter the Billboard Top Ten, and rightly so: there isn't a single piece out of place, technique, inventiveness, and passion illuminating the individual performances, Steve Walsh's vocal range, an example for a myriad of colleagues, and the magical touch of Robbie Steinhardt's violin giving it its trademark sound. When I think of The Wall, only this album comes to mind. more

Well, here I even have the cover of "Wine & Roses" showing up, and whatever... anyway: if this isn’t a solid 5, I don’t know what is. "John Coltrane SB" in the legend of American rock, and the rest of the album follows suit—starting with the super acid (and rocky) shuffle of the title track. Steve Wynn at the peak of his songwriting, already hinting at his talent as a songwriter. Can we ignore it? Never. more

Kip Hanrahan — Vertical's Currency | DeRank™: 0,00

Different from the debut but equally perfect. Classy pop jazz halfway between salsa, samba, and Afro-Cuban, an inspired crossover more focused on the song model and less on the jam. Not a single flaw, goosebumps galore. 10 out of 10. more

"The most honest form of plagiarism in pop music, with no pretension of originality" (B.G.). But aside from everything, I've always wondered how a musically mediocre figure, by his own admission, could have conceived a piece like "Victims," which is worthy of the best Style Council. more

The best band ever, in my opinion. The emotions they reveal, the story they've written, the melodies I keep listening to and that will never tire me, will stay forever. more
