The Velvet Underground | DeRank™: -1,28

The dream of the Sixties ended up in the acidic sewers of New York's underbelly, among "Heroin," "Venus In Furs," and "The Black Angel's Death Song." They lit up the dark, wild, and loureedo side of Rock. Warhol guarantees: essential. more

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

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

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

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
