The Rolling Stones — Emotional Rescue | DeRank™: -1,77

I was thinking the other day: man, this is really bad. For me, it's even worse than 'Undercover'. The only one that beats it is 'Dirty Work'. They try to jump on the reggae bandwagon by imitating the good Peter Tosh signed to their label, but they make little to no sense. It's a record without any head or tail, and not even catchy. more

Jeff Beck — Truth & Beck-Ola | DeRank™: 0,00

Closing our eyes and paying tribute to a guitarist who laid the foundational stones, we might be able to envision ourselves in some dimly lit venue with a sixties vibe, to truly feel the roots of who we are. more

Sonic Youth — Confusion Is Sex / Kill Yr. Idols | DeRank™: 5,32

Terribly beautiful, it's one of my favorites from the 80s and I think it's the most surprising and strange of that decade. more

Erio | DeRank™: 0,00

Fabiano Erio Franovich, known as Erio, is an Italian singer-songwriter. With a warm and angelic falsetto voice, he has a background in classical singing. He has been writing songs since he was a child, dedicating himself more to composition after high school. Thanks to his mother, he began sending some demos to record labels, but the one that ended up in the hands of his current label "La Tempesta" was the work of "El," the person to whom his debut album is dedicated. more

Bob Dylan — Desire | DeRank™: 5,45

When "Desire" hit the stores in January '76, it immediately revealed itself as a great success, one of the best commercial performances of the genius from Duluth. Once again, Scarlet Rivera helps touch upon the masterpiece, her violin becoming indispensable for much of this journey, the stops of which are almost all on the distance. more

Black Sabbath — Master Of Reality | DeRank™: -4,40

The least successful of the initial works, with few ideas and repetitive sections. It remains a great listen only for the caliber of the musicians. more

As a young man, he made beautiful songs and this is undeniable; today it's useless, but one cannot take that away from him. more

Happy the Man — Happy the Man | DeRank™: 3,96

The American Progressive? It arrives late, doesn't create scenes, doesn't sell records or dispense commentary. It's just the music that speaks, more emotional than ever, driven by an imaginative technique that dispels any pretentiousness. An album that illuminates every listen, every moment of sonic delight for refined tastes. more

Fairport Convention | DeRank™: 3,96

Years ago, perhaps it was still the dark 80s or the early 90s, I read an article in Rockerilla that talked about Fairport Convention. There was a phrase that compelled me to get to know them: "a band that, in moments of inspiration, could make even Bob Dylan pale." A bit exaggerated, perhaps, but What we did..., Unhalfbricking, Liege and Lief, Full House and House Full... are essential. more
