Formula 3 — Dies Irae | DeRank™: 0,00

That is how to reinterpret Battisti-Mogol in a beat-psychedelic style, complete with hard-blues guitar and heavy organs. The title track, "Sole Giallo, Sole Nero," and the two parts of "Questo Folle Sentimento" are unforgettable, and a further commendation goes to the music of "Perché, perché ti amo" written by the Bennato brothers. Outstanding musicians, especially Alberto Radius. more

Giorgio Gaber | DeRank™: 3,82

Committed author, musician, philosopher, thinker, theater artist, comedian, intellectual. A Complete Personality (notice the capital letter) and one of the greatest figures of post-war Italy. The only one who separates from the simple concept of "singer-songwriter," which is far too narrow for him. A genius! more
Paul Kantner & Jefferson Starship -Blows Against the Empire
hellraiser
An odyssey in space, a new planet for a new life. All of this conceived by the mind of Paul Kantner, who changes the name of his famous band and creates this excellent album, aided by the wonderful Grace Slick and exceptional guests such as Garcia, CSN, and many others. I have always preferred my beloved Jefferson Airplane, but this album is a great listen. more
Thin White Rope -Exploring The Axis
hellraiser
Great album that already defines very well the style the band will take in their later works. In my opinion, the following "Moonhead" and "In The Spanish Cave" are better and more complete, but having debuts like this is a pleasure to listen to... more

Camel — Mirage | DeRank™: 1,93

After the excellent but still somewhat unripe self-titled debut of '73, Latimer, Bardens, and company come out with this gem, perhaps their most complete work, at least in my taste. It’s important to highlight the two fabulous suites "Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider" and the closing "Lady Fantasy," which are exceptional in terms of execution and inspiration. A great album. more

Jethro Tull — Stormwatch | DeRank™: 0,00

The most "wintry" album by Tull could only be mentioned at this time. The folk-rock of the opener is great, rounding off the folk chapter that started with the incredible "Songs from the Wood" just two years prior. Once again, bursts of pure hard rock alternate with more melancholic and sublime acoustic moments. There’s also room for the first electronic experiments; not yet intrusive and incorporated with great taste. The band's last great album. more
Jethro Tull -Minstrel In The Gallery
Dragonstar
Touches perfection. Few Tull albums can surpass it. The electric parts are extremely hard-hitting (considering the band's stylistic canons); it is also a work in which the acoustic dimension takes a prominent place in the songwriting, a thing that will also happen with the subsequent "To Old to Rock n Roll: Too Young to Die," albeit without the same level of engagement. An album that can be summed up in one word, predictable yet necessary: masterpiece! more

Giorgio Gaber -Anche per oggi non si vola
SydBarrett96
Gaber starts to distance himself from leftist movements, beginning to sniff out the stench of great illusion ("L'odore"). This results in a performance that is much more rhetorical and disillusioned in terms of content, anticipating the themes of the next two works. Despite this, the final piece (and one of the most beautiful by Mr. G), namely "C'è solo la strada", still leaves a glimmer of hope open. "Ci siamo murati dentro" (Il febbrosario) more

Bad Religion — Generator | DeRank™: 0,00

It's also difficult for the Californian masters to replicate the three previous groundbreaking albums; however, Greg, Jay, Brett, and the new drummer Bobby are not willing to abdicate and know where to strike and how to move. The kickoff is entrusted to two tracks that have always claimed victims live (try it to believe it!): "Generator" and "Too Much Too Ask," where the execution speed reaches deadly limits. But my favorite song is the one that opens side B of my worn vinyl: ATOMIC GARDEN... more
