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

Rich, compact, and uniform sound for an album that doesn’t favor singles (even though the opener stands out). A must-have for every genre lover. Recommended by Slash! more

Kiss — Hotter than Hell | DeRank™: 4,37

Doing better than their debut (which for me remains their compositional peak, at least in the studio) was very difficult. The album was not received very well at the time, but was later re-evaluated, and I would say quite rightly! "Watchin' You" is for me one of the most beautiful songs that Simmons and Co. have ever written! more

DAN-E-MC | DeRank™: 0,00

MAN OF HONOUR (2 CD) - Molto Recordings - UNIVERSAL
On CD1, all the tracks are unreleased and the musical genre is 100% Black Music in its noblest shades, comprising 50% pure Disco-Funky-Soul and 50% pure Jazz-Fusion-R’n’B-Hip-Hop style. The featured artists and collaborations are top-notch:
KATHY BROWN, MICHAEL PROCTER, MASTER FREEZ, SAM WOOD, VANESSA JAY MULDER.
Some tracks feature a saxophone that brings back the nostalgic vibes of old and genuine atmospheres, perfectly blending with the "Good times" Black style. An album performed by real musicians who fuse live sounds with more electronic elements.
What amazed me the most??? They are ITALIANS!
On CD2, there's the "gift" from DAN-E-MC which includes all the most well-known tracks from his previous successful album, "RARA ELEGANZA" (MOLTO RECORDINGS), featuring versions released on vinyl and/or CD "single" and remixed by important international masters of the genre. more
