Jaco Pastorius | DeRank™: 0,39

Overflowing personality, great composer and arranger, he has managed to embody with extreme naturalness the prototype of a 360° musician. The warm and unmistakable voice of his jazz fretless bass has been his mantra. Through a soloistic approach, he has perhaps reformulated more than anyone else the ABCs of an instrument that, thanks to him, gains melodic and counter-melodic functions. Herbie Hancock: "he is an absolute surprise for perceptual faculties." Natural talent. more

Siouxsie and the Banshees | DeRank™: 0,84

Always fairy-tale-like, both in the dark-punk of their beginnings and in the softer pop of the latter part of their career. more

Depeche Mode | DeRank™: 0,23

Synth-pop was a fleeting trend, but Depeche Mode have had a decades-long career. There must be a reason for that. more

The fact that they were Italians is a source of pride for us, but for them, it was half a letdown. more

Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,00

"Tenor-like version of Sting... Italian Peter Gabriel" for the US. Plagiario for Italy. He has ranged from sublime soul-jazz ("Dune Mosse") to intimate songs ("Diamante", "Un Piccolo Aiuto"), explored the wave-electro paths of Ermetico Battisti ("Eccetera Eccetera"), and UK pop ("Occhi", "Pure Love"), combined Christmas white and rai ("Così Celeste") blues and lyricism ("Miserere"), M.Davis E.Morricone C.Rustici J.Lee-Hooker F.De Gregori I.Fossati C.Mami Bonovox Elisa... a bit "edited". more

Paul & Linda McCartney | DeRank™: 0,00

There’s nothing more to say about Paul. She was a tremendous woman despite a sometimes prominent temper. After her, Paul lost his mind for the worse and the repercussions were evident (Driving rain, Heater Mills, billion-dollar divorce...) There’s only one Linda, Paul. That’s it. more

Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,09

He started almost from nothing. He reached the top also thanks to excellent collaborations. He dove headfirst into the abyss due to plagiarism and a lack of new ideas. What a shame. more

Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,00

If it weren't for the unfortunate fact that it's unclear who the hell writes their songs, my rating would be a solid three and a positive one. In Italy, they definitely sang (at least the beautiful voice is theirs) some great stuff, in defiance of the national Ligabue and Vaschi. more

Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,13

A question mark made person. He has flown very high ("Blue's," "Oro Incenso & Birra") but also very low ("Zu & Co." and songs like "Un Kilo" or "Donkey Tonkey"). However, when he wants to, he knows how to create beautiful things. more

Mogwai | DeRank™: -0,29

soporific, mannered, monotonous monotones, guilty of being in the right genre at the right time and generators of countless epigones, raucous and perhaps too much live, and Scottish, which gives interviews that horrible accent and those vocalic sounds of questionable taste.

but when they are liked, they are truly liked; an electric explosion for a stab to the heart. more
