Pallas — The Sentinel | DeRank™: 0,00

It certainly wasn’t a lack of courage that the Scottish Pallas had when they recorded this reinvention of the myth of Atlantis in 1984, in the best fantasy tradition of Rush (but the vocal harmonies, Graeme Murray's Rickenbacker, and the beautiful Dean-inspired cover are trademarks of Yes). The result: somewhere between decent and good, especially with "Atlantis" and the lengthy epic "Rise and Fall" (divided into two parts) that describes the final clash between the two civilizations of East and West. Produced by Eddie Offord. more

Every time you listen to them, they tear your guts out and knock you to the floor. They reached their peak with "The Great Destroyer" and grazed perfection with the latest "C'Mon". Mind-blowing. more

Scritti Politti | DeRank™: -0,28

The most "Gramscian" band in England, fellow townsmen of the Gang Of Four but less radical, stylistically more diverse and inspired by "wyattian" influences: memorable gems of sophisticated pop, enhanced by the extraordinary voice of Green Gartside - "Gettin' & Holdin'", "Sweetest Girl," and "Lions After Slumber" are the undisputed masterpieces. After '84, they became more conventional but never disappointing, and in return, they had the cream of American session musicians in the studio. more

Level 42 | DeRank™: 0,00

The explosive, hyper-dynamic slap bass of the immense Mark King serves an intelligent funk rich in colors, as well as brilliant pop songwriting. The early albums are excellent, almost bordering on fusion, up to the live double album "A Physical Presence" - in my opinion their absolute peak. More dance-oriented from "World Machine" onwards, a bit bland in "Running In The Family" but always listenable. more

The Doors | DeRank™: 0,09

It's hard not to give it 5. In millions of years, when they choose the 10 songs of the '900, don't you really think the immense "the End" won't be there? more

Camille Saint-Saëns — Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 "Organ" (Royal Promenade Orchestra feat. conductor: Alfred Gehardt, organ: Sinclair Wilford) | DeRank™: 0,00

Absolute romantic ecstasy: how many progressive acts of the '70s and how many celebrated masters of Moog and Hammond must have been inspired by this enchanting tour de force. Towards the end of the First Movement, a subtle organ line serves as a backdrop to a breathtaking string phrase. An immensely great artist who is never praised enough. more
