Franco Battiato -l'egitto prima delle sabbie
Ditta
Perhaps interesting, but worthless and almost inaudible. Tedious like few others. The 2 is for the respect I have for Franco; otherwise, it would have been a flat one. more

Riccardo Marasco — Il porcellino | DeRank™: 0,00

This is unknown to anyone. No one who knows Teresina, or L'alluvione, or La lallera, or MA I CHE LA MI DICE SIGNORA BEATRICE, CHE LE STAVA MEGLIO CON UN AMANTE, NIENTE MENO CHE DANTE. Tuscan milestone, we need cantucci and wine because here we need to clear our heads. more

Ivano Fossati — Macramè | DeRank™: 3,00

Undoubtedly one of Fossati's (many) masterpieces, perhaps the most "ethnic" of all from the 88-2000 period. "L'amante" and "Il canto dei mestieri" are extraordinary. more
Antonello Venditti -Ullalla

Antonello Venditti — Ullalla | DeRank™: 1,01

An extremely underrated album (both at the time and still today), but very beautiful in my opinion. It's absurd that the same author has always repudiated it as if it were nothing. But tracks like "Maria Maddalena," "Canzone per Seveso," or "Jodi e la scimmietta," many singers and local authors can only dream of at night... more
Pino Daniele -Nero A Metà

Pino Daniele — Nero A Metà | DeRank™: 0,73

For me, the ultimate masterpiece of Uncle Pino (perhaps competing with the previous namesake). Twelve inspired tracks perfect in every way. Monumental. 9.5 more
Roberto Vecchioni -Di Rabbia E Di Stelle
Ditta
Not among Vecchioni's best albums, but I have to say it is enjoyable to listen to. "Le rose blu" stands out above all. Rating 7.5 more
Edoardo Bennato -Sono Solo Canzonette
Ditta
Another excellent album, well above "Uffà! Uffà!" from the same year; perhaps the second-to-last gasp of the best Edo. The title track and "L'isola che non c'è" are the most successful pieces. 4.5 rounded up to 5 out of affection. more
Antonello Venditti -Quando verrà Natale
Ditta
We're back to the discussion of when Venditti was still offering us extraordinary albums, with not a single weak song. When his songs still gave us true emotions, nothing compared to "Benvenuti in paradiso," "Raggio di luna," or other similar miserable crap from the nineties (to follow). Great Antonello Venditti, where have you gone?.. more

Edoardo Bennato — Uffà! Uffà! | DeRank™: 0,00

The first signs of yielding, but at the same time still a more than decent record, even though the previous one and the following one are clearly superior to me. 4 fair stars. more

Pino Daniele — Bonne Soirée | DeRank™: 0,12

I listened to it again recently and reassessed it, but not for the better... it remains the first album that marks a "change of course," after a significant period of great albums. However, I still believe that anything less than a 4 doesn't make sense. more

When you have nothing to say, say nothing. When I have something sensible to say about this masterpiece, I will say it; for now, I’ll just leave this rating. more
Pino Daniele -Terra mia

Pino Daniele — Terra mia | DeRank™: 0,12

Among his earliest albums, this is perhaps the least musically original, but at the same time the most heartfelt and sincere. The title track is likely the most beautiful song dedicated to Naples. 4.5 more

Francesco Guccini -D'Amore Di Morte e Di Altre Sciocchezze

The best Guccio of the last 30 years, an absolute masterpiece. "Cirano" and "Vorrei" are worth the entire album on their own. more

Ivano Fossati — L'Arcangelo | DeRank™: 0,00

I see it as a slight step back compared to the works from '88 to 2000 (and I also add the beautiful "Lampo viaggiatore" from 2003), but it is still a great album. Almost 4.5. more

Renato Zero — Artide Antartide | DeRank™: 0,49

Surely one of the best albums of Renatone (the best definitely among the double ones). Following this, his stage name will reflect the quality of his musical proposals. more
