A well-rounded musician: an excellent pianist, a great connoisseur of the subject, a prolific and original composer. Among the few truly pushing forward academic music in recent years, blending it with Jazz. The musicians collaborating with him are also exceptional. more

Igor Fëdorovič Stravinskij | DeRank™: 2,89

One of the three giants of 20th-century academic music, alongside the Second Viennese School and Bartok. Incredibly diverse, innovative, and astonishing, his works remain relevant even today (including in the fields of Jazz and Rock). Monumental. more

In fact, that sample by DJ Shadow is taken from a song by Gianni Nazzaro, here’s the proof: What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1 - Blue Sky Revisit) / Transmission 3 by DJ Shadow | WhoSampled so Zarrillo is completely useless! 👍 more

Pentangle — Basket Of Light | DeRank™: 5,54

For me, one of the most beautiful albums ever. Perfect, a total synergy of five phenomena that act as one. Obviously, one of the high points of the British folk revival, the fusion of the genre with Jazz and Blues yields sublime results ("Train Song"), Jansch's ballad is beautiful ("Springtime Promises"), their interpretations of British traditional songs are both rigorous and splendid ("Lyke-Wake Dirge," far from the shamanic version by Saint-Marie two years prior) or surprising (the sitar in "Once I Had a Sweetheart") when they become simply works of art beyond any definition ("The Cockoo" and "House Carpenter"), and the pieces written by them reflecting the Anglo-Saxon folk tradition are practically true traditional songs of the 20th century ("Light Flight" and "Hunting Song"). Sublime even is the American infiltration in "Sally Go Round the Roses." more

Unique, complex, brilliant, refined. To me, the greatest of all time. No one can boast such a high quality of albums and tracks, and no one can claim such a long series of consecutive masterpiece albums. DeFeis is a genius touched by the Gods, probably the greatest voice metal has ever had. more

It succeeds in its aim of not making one miss the previous and celebrated "Milo Goes To The College" amid great romantic power-pop numbers like "Can't Go Back" and "In Love This Way," and hardcore outbursts like "Pervert." "Silly Girl" is the song just as "Hope" was before. more

the moniker of the English Obaro Ejimiwe. three very beautiful and constantly evolving works. hip-trip hop, electronics, and glimmers of blues-funk-jazz. various influences, from Scott-Heron to Kwesi Johnson, from Tricky to Massive Attack to Roots Manuva... continuous references and quotations, yet never clichéd or cloying. highly recommended. beware, it may induce addiction... as in my case... more

Nine Inch Nails | DeRank™: 1,46

Nine Inch Nails; it is said to be the nine-inch nails used to nail Jesus Christ.
A name that might fit more with the deflated Marilyn Manson than with T-Rez's band, which has never shown much regard for organized religion.
As for the rest, eh eh...
Starting from the clunky 'Pretty Hate Machine' to the magnificent 'Downward Spiral' of the blessed consecration, culminating in the grand and anguished peak, soaked in tears and sweat and blood of 'The Fragile' (with the live counterpart 'And all that could have been'), leaving us satisfied almost like after a perfect orgasm.
Listening to them in a row.
There was a slight fading both in discography (the various bland episodes and the mannerism of Ghost) and a great career as a composer.
Impossible not to love T-Rez. more

Blue Öyster Cult -Secret Treaties
Aquarius27
Personally, I consider it their masterpiece, not that "Tyranny" is lacking, just like the self-titled album which I adore... But this one has that something extra that I can't explain! From "Career of Evil" to "Astronomy," passing through "ME 262" and "Dominance and Submission," not to mention "Flaming Telepaths," it's hard to choose a specific track among such beauty! Spectacular!! more

Queen | DeRank™: 0,00

Personally, my favorite Rock band. Although their golden period can reasonably be identified between 1973 and 1977, with a significant artistic decline related to the trio of albums "Flash Gordon," "Hot Space," and "The Works" (which, despite its great commercial success and undoubtedly more polished than the previous two, remains nothing more than a decent pop rock album) and some sporadic but powerful comebacks (notably with "Innuendo"), Queen remain one of the most influential bands in their genre. Technically very skilled (at times, truly excellent, especially May and Mercury, two real virtuosos), compositionally extremely eclectic (ranging from Hard Rock/Metal to Progressive, from classical and operatic influences to Jazz and Ragtime, from refined Pop to Funk and Dance music, with some scattered ethnic touches here and there) and, during their golden period, also decidedly innovative. This is Queen, a band that simply helped make rock music great. more

Great, and moreover I got to know them relatively late; when I was little, there were Dylan, Springsteen, Dalla, De Andrè, Vecchioni at my house... in short, the singer-songwriters. Few bands, I had to make do to discover the more famous ones. more
