Alter Bridge — Blackbird | DeRank™: 0,48

Not perfect, but it definitely deserves a 5, surely the best of the discography. The title track is stunning! more

And the alchemist said: take two punks, a kid with a pop instinct, a badass graphic designer, a street preacher, a chaos guru... make them listen to some skinny and essential rock singles from the sixties... then tell the punks to steal the instruments. The result will amaze you... more

Miriodor | DeRank™: 6,00

Leading figures of less conventional prog, they are children of that Quebec where the wind in opposition has scattered its spores. Thirty-five years without any downturns, thanks to a creative vein that merges complex compositions and affable melodies, resulting in a heterogeneous discography in both ensemble and arrangements. more

Very simply: one of my absolute favorite albums. I know it by heart, yet with each new listen, the emotions are the same, overflowing, and those notes always tear the soul away. This album is one of the best "Blues/Blues-Rock" records of the '80s, in fact, in my opinion, of all time. Howard finally has full control; this is HIS band, and damn, you can feel it. As a songwriter, he’s at his peak, pure inspiration ("These Immortal Souls," the track... what can I say...) as a performer he delivers two stunning covers (the interpretation of Chilton's "Hey, Little Child," fully owned by him 100%). And Genevieve's piano, how I love Genevieve's piano, the centerpiece of the sound of this masterpiece. A life album. more

The Who | DeRank™: 17,57

A cocky and brash frontman, a guitarist-songwriter who poured all his unhappy soul into his music, a bassist with magic fingers, and then him... my beloved, crazy, and sensitive drummer who unleashed all his vital energy on the drums. Live, second to none! They kicked the infamous "ass of the sparrows"!
One single drawback; they had to disband after the death of the Divine. Grand/Page/Plant/Jones teach us.
In the podium of the quintessential rock bands of all time, everyone can choose their favorite spot. more

Love | DeRank™: 10,45

In "theoretical" terms, it wouldn't really be my sound. When I was a kid, an older guy told me, "If you like the Doors, give these a listen" (Forever Changes was the album). Just like that, an immediate spark for that sound which had a bit of everything. And then I love the "crazy" ones; it's stronger than me, there's a powerful magnetism. So with Lee, I was on safe ground. "Four Sail" is a "forgotten" marvel. And "False Start" and "Out Here" would be minor albums?! Sure, and I'm a priest! more

I simply adore them! My sacred trimurti of progressive is not the classic one (Genesis, Yes, Crimson), but rather Genesis, Gentle Giant, Saga (the latter two being somewhat limited by the progressive label). I have my priorities regarding the discography of GG: this album, undoubtedly excellent and especially surprising for its time, still feels a bit out of focus and lacks the melodic, rhythmic, and contrapuntal consistency of the four/five albums that follow it chronologically. My current ranking (though I might occasionally shuffle a few positions...) is: 1) Three Friends, 2) Free Hand, 3) Octopus, 4) Acquiring the Taste, 5) In a Glass House. more

The misfortune of this album comes from being almost constantly compared to John Barleycorn. If someone decided to evaluate it for what it is, we would notice that it is a truly beautiful album. Whether it is better or worse than John Barleycorn doesn't matter: let’s go make a bit of rain… more

Atomic Rooster | DeRank™: 18,15

Their first three albums are enough for me to hold them in my heart. Mr. Crane's Hammond and Mr. Du Cann's six-string riffs are a spectacle. May they both rest in peace, especially Mr. Crane. more
