Aa.Vv. -Blonde on Blonde Revisited
sotomayor
50 years since the album's inception, MOJO magazine proudly presents Bob Dylan's classic 'Blonde on Blonde' revisited and covered by fourteen different artists. Out for free with MOJO July 2016, the album contains artists of different genres covering Dylan's famous songs in their own style. I must admit that I found none of these covers so much exciting, but in the complex, this is a good homage to the actually best songwriter ever and to one of his most famous albums. Going from the garage sound of 'Obviously 5 Believers' by Night Beats to a dreamy melodic version of 'I Want You' by Phosphorescent to a struggling version of 'Sad Eyed Of The Lowlands', the best episodes are probably Steve Gunn's 'Visions Of Johanna' and Michael Chapman's 'Leopard-skin Pill-box Hat'. Definitely not a masterpiece, but for this, well, listen directly to the original one. more
Matthew Chapman -The Ledge

Matthew Chapman — The Ledge | DeRank™: 0,00

A man (Gavin) who lost his wife and daughter begins to meet Shana, a woman married to a fanatically religious Catholic who tries to introduce him and his friend Chris to the cult of God. Soon, Gavin and Shana's relationship is discovered, and circumstances lead to Gavin being thrown off the roof of a building in the center of the city. A policeman, Hollis, who is going through a rough patch in his life, attempts to stop him from ending it all. The two engage in a conversation, reflecting the lives of each other. Narrated through the flashbacks of the two main characters, 'The Ledge' is a dramatic film with didactic content that invites the audience to reflect on life, love, and the various kinds of relationships between people. Well directed, the plot works, but I guess there was probably an opportunity to push the boundaries more than what was actually done. more

Pink Floyd | DeRank™: 1,70

One of the leading groups of Psychedelia, as well as one of the greatest bands in Rock history. Often underrated and targeted due to their (to say the least) overrated "famous" period, during which they released the best-selling albums, the Floyd have produced at least three essential masterpieces (The Piper At The Gates Of Down, A Saucerful Of Secrets, and Ummagumma) and some good work scattered here and there (Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, and Wish You Were Here). Essentially, a great band made up of good musicians who do not deserve the treatment that many so-called music experts reserve for them. more

Incredible album, experimental, always teetering between psychedelia and folk. Wow, what an emotionally charged song "Ella También" is... more

Hawkwind | DeRank™: 4,45

They’ve released an enormous amount of material, but the vast majority is nothing short of terrible. Only five of their albums are truly valid (the first four studio albums and the first live one), but they are more than enough to atone for all the empty releases: hypnotic, alien, overwhelming, devastating, and of course, cosmic. The essence of Space Rock. After all, a band that is definitely appreciable that has produced some essential albums (two of them are a solid 8). more

Queen — A Night At The Opera | DeRank™: 0,68

The Queen might be heavily criticized, but in 1975 they released this huge album, mature in a way we’d never expect, with that "Bohemian Rhapsody" which is worth an entire career. more

Akira Toriyama — Dragon Ball | DeRank™: 0,00

A great manga at least until the Frieza saga. If it had ended there, it would have been definitely better. Ah, the drawings, they may not be like those of Kentaro Miura or Naoki Urasawa, but at least they aren't like those of the Knights of the Zodiac (which I struggle to read because of those awful drawings). more

Steve Hackett | DeRank™: 0,29

A kind of immortal idol, capable of delighting you always, whether it's the acoustics of "After The Ordeal" or the colossal electric guitar solo of "The Musical Box." Then, seeing him perform live is an experience that, for better or worse, everyone should try at least once, even if he is just playing the acoustic guitar. more
Rush

Rush | DeRank™: 1,45

Disastrous debut with the self-titled album, a poorly executed copy of Zeppelin-inspired Hard Rock. However, they evolved over time, proving their worth, first with albums influenced by Progressive, then with the classics of the early '80s, never losing the personality that has always characterized them (debuts aside). Ignoring some good works scattered here and there, starting from the mid-'80s they faced an inevitable decline. Truly skilled musicians, Rush are a highly commendable band, and some of their albums are essential for any Rock lover. more
