The Beatles — the Beatles | DeRank™: 0,00

The most experimental of the fab four, here there are many musical innovations such as the very first echoes of heavy metal (helter skelter), pop episodes that recall their early days (back in the u.s.s.r, obladi oblada, I'm so tired), and a 100% noise and nonsense track that is revolution 9, a disturbing succession of reverse sounds and bizarre noises.
It's not perfect (there are skippable songs, like obladi...) but that's part of the charm of this semi-masterpiece double album.

A wonderful epitaph, perhaps one of the most complete albums ever, not a single filler. Let it be doesn’t really fit, it’s more like a compilation of old tracks. more

Van Der Graaf Generator -Present

They are almost 60 years old. So what? In the meantime, in 2005, they released this monstrous album, after almost 30 years from that majestic live of "Vital." Hammill's vocals have not lost the aggression and energy of the past, David Jackson, Hugh Banton, and Guy Evans. The Van Der Graaf Generator are back, and no comeback could have been better! more

The mainstream has turned James Douglas Morrison into just the classic rockstar icon, but if I may, having everything about him and them, having visited and met people with him in the last 4 months in Paris, I can state that the aforementioned was first and foremost a person with a unique blend of sensitivity and charisma. Musically, they are beyond any genre and classification—three musicians, at least, outstanding - and in my opinion, Densmore is more than outstanding. In five and a half years, they've done what others achieve in 30!!! An epoch-making debut album and the finale, LA Woman, seem to open and close a theatrical piece with a devastating yet realistic ending; they even painted him as a junkie when he hated heroin, dead not in the bathtub but at the rock 'n' roll circus. If he really is dead, since they pinned him down immediately to keep him from being seen by anyone, but here the story gets lengthy. Goodbye Jim and thank you. more

Here are the other giants: along with the Zep, there they are from their debut until '76 with the unfortunate Tommy Bolin... Here, there would be enough material for a book to describe the underrated albums of Mark 1, filled with covers but splendid nonetheless. Then with the arrival of Gillan and Glover, in three years and four albums, they make rock history; I also adore Mark 3 with those two young guns of opposite talents but great Coverdale and Hughes, who with "Burn" and "Mistreated" produce one of the most beautiful albums and tracks of all time. And I repeat, it was the year with Bolin, with the band already falling apart, him and Glenn destroyed by drugs but capable—on the nights when they were vegetative—of extraordinary live performances... Perfect Stranger is also beautiful at the return of the historic Mark... Then, well, you age, but even now seeing live the passion and tenacity they put in is exciting—long live Purple!!! And then, guys, who had all together Blackmore, as brilliant as he was odious, John Lord the master, and that train of Ian Paice? Hats off!!! more

Well guys, here lies my soul, it would take a long time to explain everything. I'm making a little book for a few close friends; here it's all to the nth degree - a terrifying debut, 4 nights as a supporting act and then stop with Vanilla - not the Rich and Poor - it was mind-blowing to see and listen to them, they battered the blues and copied - but how well!!! - they broke the mold for groupies right from the first American tour, the first 3 years were impressive, a unique manager, a crazy road manager, a crew all for one and one for all - at least until '75 - years in which everything happened to everyone, James Patrick unique and unrepeatable - not the best - but a damn true showman, Bonzo the Beast and here my heart wavers but above all the ONE AND ONLY band with the same LINE up ever and when John left it was better to end it in the face of the money that everyone would have continued to make - see who/Rolling - and feeling like one of them was like being part of an exclusive circle ... The best band ... Ever!!!! more

Meriti: a phenomenal debut album, Eddie one of the best guitarists and live performances were a force.
Demeriti: other albums - except for the good Women and Children First - where the filler tracks were more numerous than the valid ones, and then we reach the 80s synthesizers and from there I can't feel anything anymore... But it's my visceral hatred for those sounds, I don't know what to do about it; I have to stop at 80... 82, come on ah ah! more

How sad it is to realize that most of the useless people, especially Europeans, probably don’t even know that these 3 bastards have been kicking ass for years!!! I say 3 because for me the peak is in the early albums - the first 3 plus the accompanying live crushing machine!!! After that still good, although they were convinced to be a bit more mainstream and less angry, but if only there were more... So much to say, too much GFR!!! more

Although it isn't as experimental as "The End Of An Ear" and isn't as vital as "Rock Bottom", I can't help but consider this album by Wyatt a masterpiece, a gem in his discography. Thank you, Robert. more
