Here the Renaissance mark II (with the crystalline voice of Annie Haslam) fully achieve the goal of combining classical repertoire with rock rhythm. Can you understand and Let it grow are delightful folk songs in their apparent simplicity. The sorrowful At the arbour references Debussy. With the lively Carpet of the sun, the orchestra begins to make an appearance. It closes magnificently with the title track featuring a memorable chorus and a beautiful martial outro with electric guitar by Andy Powell. more

John Denver — The essential | DeRank™: 0,00

A must-have album. From the same period is the live DVD where Denver showcases his hits with overflowing skill and class. John Denver has just one major flaw. That of not being a drugged-up jerk who trashes hotels or mumbles songs under the pretense of not wanting to be recognized... aside from that, he is a top-tier songwriter, with an extraordinary voice and exquisite sensitivity. more

It gives me hives. Always has. No offense to the "Fans." I kinda like the debut, Boy. Then, I’ll just gloss over the rest... that's my personal opinion, of course. And then, Bono, with all those humanitarian antics... meh! Well, at least The Edge's brother played in the Virgin Prunes, now that's a band with some real substance. more

The Notorious Byrd Brothers was and remains a masterpiece of acid Folk Rock, their pinnacle, a solid 5. Compared to their other works, which I consider inferior, although still good. So, 4. more

Arthur Brown | DeRank™: 3,00

Imagine a Rock showcase in Palermo in the very early '70s: being taken away by the carabinieri after completely stripping on stage with the only ruse of the flickering fire on your head makes the other rockstars look like terrifying little idols. A mad, furious, and visionary vocalist. Forever 5. more

King Crimson — Earthbound | DeRank™: 0,00

Compilato by Fripp with poorly edited snippets from the jam sessions of the American tour of Islands, it's a bootleg that sounds bad even in the "restored" edition. Free rein is given to the torrential (yet sometimes excessive) verve of Mel Collins and the delirious solos of Ian Wallace, while Fripp ventures into blues rock meanderings like a fish out of water, and Burrell attempts embarrassing scat singing. Nonetheless, the fierce version of 21st Century is worth a listen. more

With a less elaborate production than the Spectorian one, Harrison here reflects on the difficulty of experiencing transcendence in the "material" world, balancing between the torrid funk of the title track and the meditative interludes of sitar, tabla, and flute. And while the sarcastic Sue Me, Sue You Blues references the legal disputes among the Beatles, the core of the album consists of a series of ballads on religious and/or romantic themes, like Give Me Love, a typical joyful Harrisonian prayer, and the catchy Don't Let Me Wait. more

Camel — Breathless | DeRank™: 0,00

A classic album with no flaws: everything is in its right place, an exceptional attention to sound, even the easiest tracks shine on their own. How can one not love Latimer's long solo in Summer Lightning over the unstoppable drumming of Ward? Class that has never been sold enough. more

AC/DC — Back In Black | DeRank™: 0,00

An album with a sound all its own, one that only AC/DC can reproduce: rhythmic, dirty, and electrifying.
An album that has managed to bring the hard & heavy world closer to the radio world and that has succeeded and still continues to excite almost everyone, fans and non-fans alike... more

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun: an absolute reference in the history of music. A piece of transcendent beauty, sweet yet profoundly deep, superficially grandiose but dense with warm eroticism, the ABC of all modern music. An immense gentle colossus of ten minutes. more

The chosen damsel, one of Debussy's early works, inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, enchants with its enveloping orchestral nuances, an almost Renaissance female chorus, a soprano that anticipates Pelléas. Wonderful. more
