Slint — Spiderland | DeRank™: 3,00

I posted it and listened again today (I've lost count of how many times I've done it since 1991). And once again, I literally lost myself in a sound that recedes, lowering the volume; soft, insubstantial, cathartic. The rhythm slows down, everything comes to a halt, there are no sharp edges. Fast forward decades now; and the distances that separated us from Spiderland at the time of its release were centuries. A watershed work, just like Nirvana's Nevermind, also crafted in 1991. Both are absolute masterpieces. It's hard to choose the best among these personal monuments. Immense, eternal, unforgettable Slint...WASHER... more

Astor Piazzolla — Summit | DeRank™: 0,00

A masterpiece of an album of melodies of nostalgia of sounds. Captivating, it reaches right to the heart. A little-known album, recorded in Milan without pretensions, almost for fun, but the result is extraordinary. more

Blue Öyster Cult | DeRank™: 0,77

A group that has made originality its trademark, capable of touching countless genres with class and mastery. Unfortunately, they're not well known in Italy compared to the usual 4 or 5 British bands, but BOC have nothing to envy to anyone; on the contrary. Personally, I prefer them to other iconic bands of the genre like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple; I place them on the same level as Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. However, they have something more, perhaps due to Bloom's esoteric tone, perhaps because of the sometimes Ossianic notes/chords/choruses. I adore all their albums, without exception, and I believe that their less appreciated works should be rediscovered, as I have unfortunately read many comments filled with prejudice. Those who know them from the first to the last song can never get tired of listening to them, and I am one of those. more
