Ed Sheeran | DeRank™: 6,94

They say, among other things, that he imposed a crazy diet on himself, losing 20 kilos or something like that to make himself more photogenic.
1 to his ostentatious image of a provincial English lad, to his false modesty of an ugly duckling who, nevertheless, looks cool and appeals to women, to his sweaty, scruffy t-shirts at concerts, to his chubby, spotted armpits, to his viral videos with millions of views, to his silly little songs. more

I could barely stand them even at 14: I remember their debut album as a Relationship Of Command for the poor, with a few decent melodies; as they went on, they somehow managed to get worse. The ugly guitarist is somewhat talented. more

Nickelback — The Long Road | DeRank™: 1,88

You hear the worst things about this band, some of them really uncalled for. In the early part of their career, they churned out albums worthy of being called albums! This is without a doubt the best. Straightforward Hard Rock, as tight as I like it, maybe even a bit over the top in some cases, but never subpar! I like it, yes, and I'm not ashamed of it! more

To think that John only knows how to do hyper-technical and/or hyper-fast things without feeling is one of the most ridiculous clichés; just listen to the live performance he did with Rudess to understand this, and if you don’t get it from that, you should definitely see a really good ENT doctor!

That said, I know people who say that Vai, Satriani, and Gilbert can only do fast and technical things without feeling, so I’d say “de gustibus.” In any case, despite John himself having admitted several times in interviews that he doesn’t consider himself on the same level as those monsters, the fact remains that he is a top-level artist with serious skills! more

Ac/Dc — Let There Be Rock | DeRank™: 6,21

Raw and powerful album, probably the pinnacle of Bon Scott's experience with AC/DC, together with that underrated Powerage which perhaps represents their most intimate soul. This album is the archetype of hard rock, from the cover art to the last notes (and lyrics!) of Whole Lotta Rosie. The only flaw: the change in the tracklist for the international version; we would have also benefited from that Crabsody In Blues which was cut in favor of the reprise of Problem Child. more

Black Sabbath | DeRank™: 5,04

Probably the rock band that has influenced future generations the most (Metal, Doom, Stoner, Grunge). An incredible story of 4 "ignorant" guys from Birmingham who suddenly found themselves touring the world with "all expenses paid." They had no idea what they were doing (in every sense) and were taken for a ride by their managers for several years. Birmingham was incredibly fertile during those years, and theirs was the ultimate birth. Thank you for everything!!! Oh, I almost forgot, I don't mean to offend the later members (especially Ronnie RIP), but for me, the Sabbath are the historic ones, period. more

The best album by Alla Cazzo Di Cane, or at least it’s the one I find myself wanting to listen to again compared to their other albums with Scott from the '70s (which I consider more or less on the same level). Damn effective and fun rock'n'roll, raw, spontaneous, ignorant, and that’s just fine. This is a great album. more
