Iron Maiden | DeRank™: 0,00

In heavy metal, they have been of paramount importance. The 80s were simply perfect. The period with Blaze Bayley and some things from the 00s lower the rating a bit. In live performances, Dickinson and his bandmates are a spectacular sight. more

UFO | DeRank™: 0,00

A recent (re)discovery of mine. One of the most underrated bands of all time. The era with Michael Schenker on guitar is unforgettable. His replacement Paul Chapman, who recently passed away, was also great. 5 for the admiration I have for these great musicians. more

AC/DC | DeRank™: 0,85

The era with Bon Scott is simply perfect. The period with Brian Johnson has had its ups and downs. They weren’t innovative but were pure energy. Even though in the long run they became repetitive, at least they remained consistent. And in live performances, they blew the back off a lot of much younger bands. more
Blue Öyster Cult

Blue Öyster Cult | DeRank™: 0,01

One of the most underrated groups in rock history. The voice of Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma's guitar, alongside the skilled rhythm section of the Bouchard brothers, create an unmistakable sound that is of crucial importance for future bands. Dignified. more

The Rolling Stones | DeRank™: 0,00

Between the late 60s and the early 70s, a string of albums of monumental importance for the history of rock. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers (for me their best), and Exile on Main Street. However, from the second half of the 70s onward, a disaster. Rating: 4 stars for the glorious past. more

Rush | DeRank™: 0,12

Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson. Together they played like ten. Pure orgasm. Albums like 2112, Hemispheres, and Moving Pictures are among the masterpieces of rock music of all time. more

Talking Heads = rating 5, no discussion. Absolute geniuses led by the great David Byrne. The live "Stop Making Sense" is their absolute peak. more
Luciano Ligabue

Luciano Ligabue | DeRank™: 0,00

In the 90s, he was a decent artist, still redeemable until the first half of the 00s; from the first Campovolo onwards, he ended up like many in a vortex of embarrassing mediocrity. Definitely overrated, although in reality, there is much worse in the Italian scene. 3 stars just for the first albums (Ligabue, Lambrusco, Sopravvissuti, and Buon compleanno Elvis). more

Good things in the 80s, then he should have retired 30 years ago. One less vote for the fanaticism of his fans that makes him more annoying to me. more

Steely Dan | DeRank™: 0,00

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, two geniuses. Arrangements that verge on perfection, top-notch musicians who played on their albums. Masterpieces of music history, with Aja standing out. 5 full and undisputed. more
The Beatles

The Beatles | DeRank™: 0,56

The most influential band in the history of present, past, and future music. Overrated? Perhaps. But without them, many great bands and artists wouldn't even exist. SEMINAL. more

Litfiba | DeRank™: 3,19

I give it a 5 only for the decade 1985-1995 and for Ghigo Renzulli. The rest of the production under the name Litfiba would deserve a 2. more

Oasis | DeRank™: 0,00

The first two albums are decent but then they fell into the trivial. Then they acted all high and mighty as if they were the Beatles. They would have liked to be, but there's nothing to be done. Just a 3 for the feud between the Gallaghers, which has now become like a soap opera. more
Genesis

Genesis | DeRank™: 3,46

If they had come out in the 80s, my rating would be a stretched 2, but since they produced immense masterpieces in the 70s, I can't give anything less than a 5. More than with the loss of Peter Gabriel, the real Genesis died with the departure of Steve Hackett. more

Promising pop/rock band in the seventies, endless abyss from the mid-eighties to the 2000s, with the exception of Dove comincia il sole (where, among other things, there was no D'Orazio). Three stars only because of Battaglia and Canzian. more

Giving Pink Floyd less than a 5 and claiming to have an understanding of music is madness. (What world would it be without David Gilmour?) more

Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,00

Not as terrible as I thought. Especially in the 80s, he did some really good things. Even though musically he has been irrelevant for about twenty years and he carries with him the reputation of having drawn a bit too much from others (to be kind). more

Great musician, great composer and performer. It's a shame that the last years of his career didn't match his level, but for Uncle Pino, I forgive everything. Thank you for everything! more
