Ivan Graziani — Agnese dolce Agnese | DeRank™: 1,10

Among the greatest albums of Italian rock singer-songwriter music. Lyrics that are sometimes ironic, sometimes biting, sometimes melancholic, telling us legends and stories tied to the provinces. Beautiful music that showcases the greatness of this singular and immense artist. "Fuoco Sulla Collina," with its rich and meaningful lyrics and simply stunning music, is one of the greatest Italian rock pieces of all time. more

Nada Trio | DeRank™: 1,66

Of dazzling beauty, this acoustic gem that Nada has created together with Ferruccio Spinetti and Fausto Mesolella. Just voice, acoustic guitar, and bass, and thus these three create a marvelous album where some songs are retrieved, especially from the latest repertoire of the Maremma singer.
This is an album that is not in a hurry, one that shuns the frenzy and impatience of our times. It’s best enjoyed in the company of a good glass of smooth red wine in front of a crackling fireplace.
Moreover, it serves as the epitaph of a great musician like Fausto Mesolella, who, just before seeing the album released, left us unexpectedly. Thus, the phrase with which Nada concludes the cover notes (“Grazie per avermi spezzato il cuore”) seems almost like a farewell to the departed friend. more

Even here, not noticed. It’s his fate, you can see it. @Lector he could have made it to your list, for sure. A tribute to this musician and man, too good and polite. He was kicked out (no bs, that’s the term) by Jagger/Richards/Jones because he wasn’t a trendy number and because he was too ordinary and had that "big guy" look (not for ugliness, I don’t think the others are beauties!). He stays close to the group, participates in writing various songs, but he’s never given any credit. He remains the same until he gets replaced even on the bench and moves to the stands! But then the duo J/R, from the grave, have him included in the Rolling Stones lineup in the "Hall of Fame"... what real men. Ah, I almost forgot one little thing; without him the Rolling Stones would have never "taken off"! And I’m not saying this, but history and Richards in his book do. Loser and re-loser. The only one to enter the recording room with Led Zeppelin (besides Sandy) for the song for him "Boogie with Stu". I don’t care about the rating, I don’t want to be like those two, from the grave. more

I’ve always found them incredibly gaudy and tacky, like a kind of Kiss without the makeup. In fact, the Kiss might be more “sober.” Anyway, I kind of like them in the end. more

Vasco Rossi | DeRank™: 0,09

The vote is a judgment mediated between the 4 stars of the beginnings and the single star of today. For me, Vasco's career can be divided into four distinct phases: an excellent period from his debut until "Colpa d'Alfredo," then the "classic" Vasco (still acceptable) between "Siamo Solo Noi" and "Liberi Liberi"... then a decline in style until "Canzoni Per Me" in 1998. From "Stupido Hotel" to today, a true musical zombie that I don't know whether to define as more sad or more comical... more

PJ Harvey — White Chalk | DeRank™: 5,48

A record that I adore; quite simply among my favorites by the English singer-songwriter. Written immediately after the end of a love story; stripped-down songs, void of everything. Just voice, piano, and little else; a painful, pure, devastating, traumatic work. The voice is fragile, the sound of the piano discreetly, softly accompanying PJ. "Come here at once" is the painful lament that explodes like a liberating scream in the track "The Devil"; it will soon return to noise in the next album. For me, with "White Chalk" the circle closes: it will not happen again at these levels...BEFORE DEPARTURE... more
Peter Hammill -Chameleon In The Shadow Of The Night
hjhhjij
I am biased, but even on this album, everything is nearly perfect; there isn't a single song that falls below excellence. There's Hammill, who is hard to find with VDGG, the one focused on acoustic singer-songwriter style, perhaps just guitar and voice, simple yet evocative songs thanks to his voice and sublime melodies ("Dropping the Torch," for instance). There's the classic Hammill with extraordinary tracks like "In the End" and "German Overalls," and the sublime continuation of Mike and Susie's saga in "Easy to Slip Away." All his Vandergraaf friends participate, but only on a few tracks ("Rock and Role"), and they are guest appearances on the solo album of his companion. Except for "In the Black Room/Tower," a masterpiece written and conceived for the group and effectively performed by them. They are all there, and they are not just guests; it’s a 100% VDGG track. A colossal conclusion for a wonderful album. more
