Eugenio Finardi — Finardi | DeRank™: 1,45

Cold and sharp as a blade, for me his best album. After 30 years, it is now available again on a single CD with Secret Streets, the English version. A MUST-HAVE. more

The Pogues | DeRank™: 5,04

The producer of their first album described them as "a band of drunkards let loose in a recording studio." Then, in the subsequent albums, they left behind some true moments of magic. more

The Sugarcubes | DeRank™: 0,00

Maybe it's because I'm in a period where I appreciate almost everything that comes from Iceland (music, football...), but these really grabbed me even when they were released. And then, what a lightning bolt, Björk! more

One of the greatest American folk-rock groups. Just their version of "Mr. Bojangles" (and in general, everything from "Uncle Charlie...") is part of the history of American music. more

Gentle Giant — Giant For A Day | DeRank™: 0,00

we are towards the swan song...the band tries to renew itself to avoid being swept away by the times, the result is a decent album but well below the standards. more

Riot — Restless Breed | DeRank™: 2,04

Rhett Forrester takes over the vocals, and the change is definitely noticeable, both vocally and musically. The Riot gradually lose that Blues/Hard Rock attitude that characterized the first three works, and we hear more refined riffs that are simple but never trivial, while Forrester's more "masculine" tone adds a more mature aspect to Reale's group. Notable songs include C.I.A., the title track, Loanshark, and Showdown. more
