Fantastic Tropicalista album by Battisti. Beyond the song, beyond the prog, just beyond. This album is so beautiful that it even makes me appreciate Mogol's lyrics. more

The Beatles — Revolver | DeRank™: 0,00

Perhaps it’s the most important album of the fab four, because it’s in this record that the foundations for the two psychedelic masterpieces of 1967 are laid. Lennon, in the throes of his "drug experiences", Harrison begins his journey into Indian modal music but is still in the apprenticeship phase, McCartney perhaps less experimental but more solid with his classicism: for me, the best tracks are his (after that "out of this world" piece by Lennon which is Tomorrow never knows). more

Nazareth — Hair Of The Dog | DeRank™: 0,00

Glorious Scottish band whose reputation is built on a solid array of pure, unadulterated Hard Rock tracks. This 'Hair of the Dog' from 1975 concludes with an epic piece perhaps better known for the Metallica cover: Please Don't Judas Me. Make way for the rough voice of Dan McCafferty, and be sure to do some air guitar when Manny Charlton's solo comes in! more

Standing or kneeling to listen to this monumental live recording that every devotee of the blue oyster cult must own. It has almost all the best from the legendary first hard rock phase (though some essential tracks from Secret Treaties are missing) and some excellent covers including the legendary Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf. more

Excellent debut by the group formed by the virtuosic violinist Darryl Way, temporarily escaping the art rock eccentricities of Curved Air, alongside jazz guitarist John Etheridge and young drummer Ian Mosley (yes, the one from Marillion). Produced by Ian McDonald, to whom the poignant adagio for violin that closes the album (McDonald's Lament) is dedicated. more

Good old school hard rock from Atomic Rooster in their best trio lineup with Vincent Crane on organ, Paul Hammond on drums, and John Du Cann on guitar (excellent and abundant) and vocals (Chris Farlowe doesn't count). The title track is the epitome of dark, and "Sleeping for Years" is a classic underrated gem of hard rock. more

Pino Daniele — Pino Daniele | DeRank™: 3,63

Rougher and more shouted than the subsequent one, but it gains in drama and intensity. A beautiful album, played magnificently with three or four fabulous gems ("Chi tene 'o mare" and "Putesse essere allero" being a couple of examples). Pino is enormous here; from 1977 to 1982, he didn't miss a beat. more

Skywave — Synthstatic | DeRank™: 0,00

Great album by a band that went almost completely unnoticed, straddling the '90s and the early 2000s. This was their epitaph. Noise (a lot) pop-shoegazing, as loud as it is enjoyable. From the ashes of Skywave would arise the much more well-known A Place To Bury Strangers... more

Rino Gaetano — Ingresso libero | DeRank™: 0,00

When the sharpest classic rock meets songwriting, works like this are born. An intelligently ignorant album, performed by a drunkard who builds his lyrics with an irresistible string of poetic allegories. An anomalous (and still unsurpassed) way of making music! more

Roy Harper — Stormcock | DeRank™: 0,63

Regarding Stormcock: a sparse and poetic musical gem. An album where singer-songwriter, folk, and world music come together in a single acoustic creature of immense beauty. more

Sepultura — Roots | DeRank™: 0,33

The vinyl is spinning now on my faithful system; for years it had been left aside. It's not a bad record, that's why I gave it four stars; but I much prefer the three previous works, which are much more Thrash, fast, compact in the sonic violence proposed. Too contaminated, too tribal, too, so to speak, beyond; "Dictatorshit" is a gunshot, "Roots Bloody Roots" impressed live in terms of impact, yet for me it's not a masterpiece...CUT-THROAT... more

An original folk singer and, above all, an outsider to the "music business" who has produced two great masterpieces: "Flat Baroque and Berserk" and "Stormcock". more
