John Cale — Paris 1919 | DeRank™: 1,02

a masterpiece waiting to be discovered, incredibly beautiful despite its apparent simplicity, refined in its arrangements, and gentle and delicate like its author, who, having left behind experimentalism, focuses in just over 30 minutes on lovely melodies and acoustic intimacy. more

Gene Clark — No Other | DeRank™: 2,34

If I had to recommend something to a friend who loves to vary their listening, since "music, if it's beautiful, should be listened to in its entirety, without confining it to narrow spaces," thus avoiding almost cult-like behaviors typical of prog, rock, or country fans who are convinced that their choices are better than anyone else's, I would definitely suggest this beautiful album, even though it's unknown to most.

In fact, it is incredibly rich in splendid harmonies, characterized by G.C.'s powerful and melodic singing, thus innovating the sounds of the Byrds, of which he was one of the founders. They would discover within it a delightful musical whirlwind that pleasantly spans rock, country, and hints of psychedelia...

Given that I have a wealth of choices, I point out this track:

Robert Wyatt | DeRank™: 1,33

A complete artist, multifaceted, an excellent multi-instrumentalist (drums, keyboards) and a musician with superhuman abilities, constantly evolving without ever falling into banality, without ever being inconsistent with the music he has always sought to propose—a music that is neither too melodic nor too "experimental," neither too rational nor too irrational.
His career is teeming with great works; there's no need to mention the ever-acclaimed Third (the first true manifestation of his avant-garde genius, thanks to the monumental "Moon In June") and, of course, Rock Bottom...

Probably the band that wrote the best prog song and the worst pop song in history ("Supper's Ready" and "Invisible Touch"). In both cases, they made a mark. more

Genesis | DeRank™: 0,54

Wonderful, multifunctional, chameleonic during their golden age, theatrical, spontaneous, lyrically extraordinary thanks to His Majesty Peter Gabriel. Certain gems of progressive rock like Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, A Trick Of The Tail, and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway are not easily forgotten if you let yourself be carried away by these great musicians. The pop period doesn’t really affect my evaluation of the band in question, they fully deserve a 5. more

Genesis — Nursery Cryme | DeRank™: 0,00

Their best album, in my opinion. The most spontaneous one, the one with the most "fluid" and defined sounds. The second reason why I love it, well, I think it's thanks to "The Musical Box"... more

wonderful album, one that is always a pleasure to listen to, expressing strength, energy, and optimism at the same time, composed of beautiful melodic tracks and lovely orchestrations (by Paul Buckmaster on keyboards), flowing swiftly one after another like a suite, characterized by splendid and significant sounds and orchestrations, where his voice, incredibly wide-ranging, powerful and yet melodious, is "capable of an impressive vocal range from baritone to alto, one of those voices that send chills down your spine when you hear it, ideal for that whirlwind of folk-rock-blues-jazz-pop and progressive" (drawing from the review by supersoul, which best described and explored the album in question).

And now do me a favor, listen to it because it's worth it...
