Lucio Battisti — E Già | DeRank™: 0,48

Transition disk. It’s the only one of his that doesn’t reach a pass, but it still stands out as better than a lot of crap that’s currently out there. Average 2.5 more

Gianluca Grignani | DeRank™: 3,00

Good things until 2000, then total collapse. Nonetheless, it deserves a pass; "La Fabbrica Di Plastica" and "Campi Di Popcorn" are two nearly perfect works. more

If you're referring to the Radius group, since there's already a dedicated entry for the three tenorini, my vote is 4 stars for the experience they've had and for the intrinsic value of the members. Just 2 records, but what records! more

Paolo Conte | DeRank™: 0,00

On January 6, I had a marathon of 37 songs, just like the year I was born. 5 stars without a doubt; I didn't give them to Jannacci because, in my opinion, Conte is worth a bit more. La Fisarmonica di Stradella, Gli impermeabili, and even the latest stuff are truly excellent. more

Litfiba — Infinito | DeRank™: 0,00

But are we kidding? Is this really the same band that released albums like "Desaparecido," "17 re," or "Litfiba 3" in the eighties? One of the biggest travesties in the history of WORLD music; something that makes "Mondi sommersi" from two years before look like a masterpiece. Disgraceful! more

Eros Ramazzotti | DeRank™: 0,00

The worst Italian singer of all time (I don't even consider D'Alessio & co, obviously). more

Pino Daniele | DeRank™: 0,00

Until "Musicante" in 1984, truly a giant. It's just a shame about what came after.. more

Antonello Venditti | DeRank™: 0,54

It’s hard to believe that the author of the wonderful "Canzone Per Seveso" is the same as the horrifying "Prendilo Tu Questo Frutto Amaro." His last decent album, for me, was "Cuore" from 1984. After that, a few scattered decent songs until the late '80s (3/4... nothing more) leading to the total disaster of the constant copy and paste of his own tracks. A progressive disaster that continues to this day. What a shame, in the '70s he was truly great; he could have been a leading songwriter in Italy and instead... more

Franco Battiato | DeRank™: 1,20

I only criticize the experiments of the second half of the '70s ("Battiato", "Juke-Box", "L'Egitto Prima Delle Sabbie"... in short...). For the rest, everything is of high quality. more

Vasco Rossi | DeRank™: 0,00

I almost completely stopped listening to him starting in the early 2000s. For me, his last decent album was "Gli Spari Sopra" from 1993, although not all the songs. Today he is unbearable! more

Edoardo Bennato | DeRank™: 0,00

One of the greatest and most brilliant Italian artists of the '70s. Unfortunately deceased and buried after 1983, what you see today is no longer him. more

Ivano Fossati | DeRank™: 0,00

In the '70s, a good artist, but nothing thrilling yet. Starting from "Le Città Di Frontiera" in 1983, his poetic vision began to establish itself more and more, culminating in the extraordinary "La Pianta Del Tè" in 1988, the pinnacle of his entire discography and the opening album of a series of wonderful works. It's also worth noting that he was, among his peers, the only one who understood when (and how) to step back. This is what it means to be a great artist. more
