In the Verve a great period, solo not bad at all. Anyway, a great songwriter even if it may sound like a cliché. more
Rod Stewart -Never a Dull Moment
hellraiser
It's always nice to listen to this album again, the last of a perfect "trilogy," even though "An Old Raincoat.." and "Smiler" open and close a remarkable five years. This stands as a testament to a great frontman and a great voice from past decades, during the "Mercury" period, his best ever. more

Keith Moon | DeRank™: 16,82

It couldn't have been any other way... he and Bonham got along famously as soon as they met; he even got on stage with Zeppelin one night to play (and the Devil knows how "impossible" such a scene was). Keith wasn't just a great drummer like some of the other great drummers are said to be. Keith was unique; you recognized his sound instantly. He didn't need to do solos; he kept time through continuous solos. He is Keith Moon, and alongside Bonzo, he is the one who influenced future generations of drum destroyers the most. And then there was his humanity and sensitivity that were extraordinary, his pure and beautiful "madness" even more so; unfortunately, as often happens with these great souls, the restlessness of not knowing how to live, of how to fit in is the true anguish that accompanies them. I understand them very well, unfortunately. In my dreams, there's Him and John Henry smashing everything down somewhere. And the Who had to break up, for goodness' sake, Keith Moon was not just a great drummer!!! more

The group I grew up with and that I can't do without. They forged their unmistakable and highly personal style within the grand melting pot of electro-pop and then electro-rock-blues. "Black Celebration," an essential album of the '80s. Below are my personal ratings.

-A Broken Frame 6.5
-Construction Time Again 7
-Some Great Reward 7.5
-Black Celebration 9
-Music for the Masses 8
-Violator 8.5
-Songs of Faith and Devotion 8.5
-Ultra 7.5
-Exciter 5.5
-Playing the Angel 7
-Sounds of the Universe 4.5

Antonello Venditti | DeRank™: 1,78

Despite the typically "hipster" listener who only appreciates Venditti's first three or four albums, I overwhelmingly prefer his "mainstream" phase from 1975-78 onwards. To put it this way: "Sotto il Segno Dei Pesci" may be commercial but it contains "iconic" melodies. A track like "bomba o non bomba" is worth five of the incredibly dull and soporific Venditti from his early days. As for today's Venditti, well... aside from a few isolated gems, it's better to lay down a heavy blanket... more

Ed Sheeran | DeRank™: 0,00

From my perspective, criticizing Ed Sheeran is pointless, but praising him is unusual. But how do you praise him? What new things does this artist bring? None. You might say, "not everyone can be an innovator," and I agree. But does he write the best songs? No. He merely has the ability to remix four ingredients used millions of times and to present himself well. Zero substance. more

Immense. Everyone remembers Alvin Lee, his guitar would penetrate you (yeah, it wasn’t just fast, damn it!) but the other three?! Lyion, Rich Lee, and Churchill were incredible musicians who turned even the simplest pieces into true gems. Woodstock was electrified. more

Beastie Boys — Ill Communication | DeRank™: 0,00

After Check Your Head comes the big hit and the Beastie Boys deliver yet another masterpiece. Alternating the played parts with classic rap, Ill Communication is one of the best albums of the 90s, a mix of genres including punk, rap, rock, and funk. A must-have! more

Beastie Boys — Check Your Head | DeRank™: 0,00

Unlike Paul's Boutique, this album, apart from the singles, is still somewhat unjustly underrated. The production by Mario C. and the addition of instrumental interludes give the group a new twist, making them much more rap rock than before, and it features some gems (e.g., "in 3's" and the punk cover of "time for livin'"). more

after the rochetaro debut, the beastie boys meet the dust brothers, and one of the best albums of all time is born, not just in rap. A truly forward-thinking and innovative album, each track contains numerous samples from various songs that create an absurdly perfect sonic collage for the year it was released. A masterpiece. more

Beastie Boys — Licensed To Ill | DeRank™: 0,00

Three idiots have created a masterpiece. But they are not that idiotic, just look at the rest of their discography. Anyway, as a debut it’s a sonic bomb, the precursor of crossover and of so much great stuff that will come in the 90s. The only track that's slightly underwhelming is "Girls"; I know it's hugely loved, but it doesn't drive me crazy. more
AC/DC -If You Want Blood.. You've Got It
2000
I could be bold, but in my opinion, this along with Back in Black is the true masterpiece of the band. A really tough live performance, where you can feel all the energy of AC/DC, who will soon become an international sensation. The live versions of their classics have a unique epicness! more
