Cult formation. Spontaneous sound, dry, genuinely "live" even in the studio. Unsolved is probably their masterpiece. This Day Next Year is the masterpiece within the masterpiece. more

The Beatles | DeRank™: -4,21

An average band. They have done nothing but follow the standard of the white rock n'roll band that looks from afar at the Black Masters, like Little Richard and Chuck Berry. Mediocre at an instrumental level, mediocre in terms of lyrics, yet the most influential group in the history of rock. My misanthropy is not entirely unfounded. A few well-arranged songs are enjoyable; at least three-quarters of what they have done is tedious, cloying, fake. more

"I know a place in my heart
where the wind always blows
for your few years and for my hundred,
there’s nothing to understand, just sit down and listen.
Because I’ve written a song for every regret
and I must be careful not to fall into the wine
or end up inside your eyes, if you come any closer..." more

It proposes interesting theories that may tend to repeat themselves, which causes it to lose a point; however, it has brought to light important figures such as Zahi Hawass. more

Essential. The simplicity that becomes effectiveness. A giant, also for his ability not to take himself too seriously. On stage, next to Cobain, he looked like a gigantic, awkward Totem. more

R.E.M. | DeRank™: 9,48

Just for their decision to let go when they felt they had given everything, they deserve the utmost respect. I love their music, what they have represented for the independent scene, and what they have managed to bring into the mainstream. Absolute peaks and rare falls, until the very end. Charisma and personality in abundance. Exemplary. more
FRANCESCO DE GREGORI -Canzoni d'amore
Zimmy
The album that introduced me to the Prince. A perfectly fitting title in its (seemingly) antithetical nature to the content, since out of the 11 tracks, only the first is a love song in the strictest sense. And the others? 10 great classics from a mature De Gregori, with excellent arrangements that are quite rock-oriented, ready to 'accompany you through certain corners of the present that will fortunately become curves in memory'... more

R.E.M. — Document | DeRank™: 0,00

The classic album by R.E.M., featuring great moments but a bit uneven. In particular, I prefer the later tracks to the earlier ones, and I find that the cover of Strange doesn’t measure up to the original. more

The Magnetic Fields — 69 love songs | DeRank™: 1,73

Generally, when I listen to it, I convince myself that no album could be as beautiful. Then, yes, it ends and I realize I've exaggerated; it's a sentimental, crowd-pleasing record and all that. But in my opinion, it's a masterpiece, one of those big ones; my favorite pop album at the moment, although "pop" is quite reductive in reality. more

"Happy to contradict you again, sad blue lady,
it's not life that inspires songs, as you believe...
it's the songs that force life to be what it is
and how it is not...
And then, you might ask me, why do we cry? What do we remember?
At this point, feelings,
feelings are just crap...
and yet no, and yet no,
look how I can make you suffer with a fiction...
feel here what passion!" more

Francesco Guccini — Stagioni | DeRank™: 2,59

Sad, melancholic, twilight. Guccio returns to play with those Tarot cards he so scorned in '72, expressing at the threshold of sixty all his rage, mixed with poetic sweetness and lofty lyricism. The umpteenth masterpiece, and I won't hide that I can hardly hold back my tears on "Addio." "Seasons" that pass inexorably, swallowing us more and more... more

Franco Battiato | DeRank™: 1,54

One of the most original and interesting local artists: although he has made a few missteps, he has brilliantly managed to reconcile light music and avant-garde, extreme experimentation and pop songs, elitism and commercial success, traditional songwriting and cultured composition, assimilating the most diverse artistic and cultural influences. "Fisiognomica" and "Caffè de la Paix" are undisputed milestones of Italian singer-songwriter music. more
