Kurt Cobain | DeRank™: 0,73

Stop slouching and wake up. Cobain is one of the most talented writers of the '90s. With all due respect, what applies to artists like the Beatles, Bowie, Elvis, etc., applies to him as well. Class isn't something you acquire; it's something to be envied. more

Tiromancino | DeRank™: 0,00

"the description of a moment"... never was a title more fitting. Because it describes the duration of my appreciation for the group. I heard the Roman dialect guy play guitar and sing live in Rome, in an unknown venue. It blew me away. I swore I would follow them to the ends of the earth, but then I gave up... from that moment on, one disappointment after another. Watered down, predictable, simplistic, light, almost unlistenable. What a shame. more

Bruce Springsteen | DeRank™: 1,55

Go listen to the Creedence: songs like "who'll stop the rain" or "have you ever seen the rain" are worth more than boring tracks like "the river." The synthesis and effectiveness that characterize Fogerty's lyrics and music are unknown to the verbose Springsteen (and while you're at it, try comparing the voices too). more

David Gray | DeRank™: 0,00

Serious, consistent artist. Not exactly a pioneer of innovation, but the poor sales testify to a musical project aimed at quality. A bit boring, in my opinion, but there's much, much worse. A good folk-pop background for somewhat gloomy days. more

Daniele Silvestri | DeRank™: 0,00

Friendly, easygoing, humble. Beyond that, he is TOO politically aligned and winks at supermarket music (who can blame him). Guitar and voice EMOTIONS, truly. He is excellent on the piano. In his production, here and there, there are moments of higher-level music that few in Italy have in their repertoire. REAL TALENT, struggling to demonstrate it concretely, and he seems a bit downcast. more

Tiziano Ferro | DeRank™: 0,00

Damn, what a voice! A peculiar music, come on, or at least it's trying. I followed it closely to see if it could hold up or if it would let itself be sucked into the "Muzicbiz." But then the phrase "news is the anagram of my name, you know?" made me throw in the towel. What a wasteeee!!! more

But also overrated. They knew how to shuffle the cards a bit or was it the three-card trick? Who knows. more

He knows how to handle it, yes. He takes care of his own business really well, a true professional. In my opinion, the only thing he fails at are the balls. more

Francesco Bianconi | DeRank™: 0,43

If Vasco Rossi represents the sheepish and vulgar side of Italian music, Bianconi is the symbol of those who remain stuck in the "radical chic and anti-conformist adolescent" phase, complete with the little glasses that are supposed to give him an air of an intellectual-philosopher. more

In Maiden, he was the wrong man at the wrong time (even though I really appreciate "The X Factor"), but as a solo artist, he had a decent career. more
