Bob Dylan — Blood On The Tracks | DeRank™: 0,00

In my opinion, the best album produced by Mr. Robert Zimmerman at least until 1975. The Dylan after "Desire" has not been followed by me. I find it more fluid and digestible than other great classics from before, which are not always as vibrant and fresh. An icon more for what he has always proclaimed, especially in terms of media message with his manifesto songs, than for his skill in singing. more

Debut for the first true guitar genius in the history of Rock. Packed with unforgettable classics like "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe," "Foxy Lady" (which kicks off the album magnificently) and "Can You See Me," all presented in furious versions at the Monterey Pop Festival. From this point onward, guitarists of every era will have to reference his genius. more

The Doors — The Doors | DeRank™: 0,00

It's probably the debut that stands out as the best release by the quartet of the Lizard King, Jim Morrison. In it, some of their most legendary tracks, such as "Light My Fire" and the long autobiographical "The End," serve as an authentic manifesto of Morrison's experiences. more

Masterpiece of the Rolling Stones, featuring adrenaline-pumping rock tracks interspersed with dreamy acoustic ballads and the inevitable episodes from which the eternally bluesy soul of the band emerged. more

Neu! — Neu! | DeRank™: 0,52

An album that turned rock inside out. Noisy, alienated, and alienating. A typically rock rhythmic carpet serves as a backdrop to the frantic "galloping" madness of an uncontrollable, sick, disorienting guitar, and to the noises and sighs of a claustrophobic existential reality. Incredible! more

My favorite of the boss, at times melancholic tracks, mournful, introspective, declaiming the daily dramas of working-class losers or tales of disillusioned loves. Everything happens at dusk, on the outskirts of the city... more

Neil Young — Harvest | DeRank™: 0,00

A masterpiece of the Folk-Rock epic under the stars and stripes. Intimate, heartfelt, evocative. A Neil Young always on the verge of off-key conveys such depth to his ballads that it feels as though we live and suffer those stories alongside him. more

Deep Purple — In Rock | DeRank™: 0,00

Another groundbreaking album in the Hard Rock genre. The initial noise that precedes "Speed King" is the big bang of this musical genre. more

Asia — asia | DeRank™: 0,00

First and most successful episode of a long discography. Balancing between the musical past of each single member (ex King Crimson, ELP, Yes, and Buggles) and subtly pop melodies in the early eighties style. A small gem that continues to shine. more

David Bowie — "Heroes" | DeRank™: 0,00

Bowie's creative peak. After the splendid works of the glam era, and following the near self-destruction of the '74-'76 period, in Berlin the Duke reinvents himself and, thanks also to his collaboration with Eno, produces a trilogy of epoch-making albums, of which "Heroes" is the pinnacle. Here are laid the foundations for the future '80s new wave. more

The Who — Who's next | DeRank™: 0,00

Even though "Tommy" is undeniably a wonderfully successful rock work, I prefer "Who'S Next", which is less demanding, more edgy, and much closer to my idea of pure rock, without so many orchestrations and studio embellishments. They could be equivalent, but this one gives me a much stronger jolt of pure adrenaline. more

Tough, granite-like, with tracks like "Back In The Saddle" as a classic opener for their concerts, the exuberant "Rats In The Cellar," and the Zeppelin-esque "Nobody's Fault." Their best! more

The album that alone allows you to explore the entire BOC epic, sprinkled with tracks that range from the most visceral Hard of their beginnings ("Lips In The Hills") to more melodic and catchy songs ("Unknown Tongue") to the unpredictable jazzy interludes of "Monsters." I would say it's brilliant. more
