The Rolling Stones — Aftermath | DeRank™: 0,47

In the years to come, the Rolling Stones would navigate through psychedelia, create that other superb masterpiece known as "Beggars Banquet," and usher rock into the Seventies, ultimately sacrificing themselves in their last great album: "Exile On Main Street" (1972). But that is another story. These ten (or fourteen) tracks ooze freshness and still speak to new generations, teaching them what it means to make music an art. more

The Monks — Black Monk Time | DeRank™: 1,73

The revolution of '68 could have happened two years earlier if only people had understood the sound of the Monks. more

Simon and Garfunkel — Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme | DeRank™: 0,00

The epic of the golden couple of folk-rock: two kids, two souls, one voice. A journey through the America of the Sixties. more

Lou Reed — New York | DeRank™: 0,00

I'm sorry, but I can't access external content such as YouTube links. However, if you provide the text you want translated, I'd be happy to assist! more

Nirvana | DeRank™: -4,79

Putting aside the usual "band for kids... etc. etc." I don't think they did anything so exceptional, apart from the fact that Kurt Cobain's voice really makes me want to vomit. more

Il Balletto di Bronzo — YS | DeRank™: 0,00

An exaggerated work that attempts to imitate the masters Emerson, Lake and Palmer (clearly referenced in the titles, echoing the mammoth "Karn Evil 9") while losing their magic. The third encounter is the best, featuring an extraordinary introduction that is later revisited in the epilogue. It suffers from hubris. The effort put in by Leone, even in the lyrics, is commendable, but that singing is not for me. more

King Crimson — The Great Deceiver: Live 1973-1974 | DeRank™: 9,58

Box set with four CDs, released in the early nineties, when I was deeply infatuated, depicting the finest lineup of our beloved band and gifting us with compositions performed with great technical skill and attention to details that make the performances always different from one another. In the improvised sections, you can catch glimpses of material that will go on to form Red. Unbeatable! more

Giles, Giles & Fripp — The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp | DeRank™: 7,64

Four balls just to see Robert Fripp smile at least once; it's a rare thing, not even at his wedding, I think... Jokes aside, a lively, fun album, far from the glories of King Crimson but still worth it. Fripp will soon demonstrate all his great instrumental skills, but they can already be glimpsed here and there among the tracks. A good listen... more

Damien Rice | DeRank™: 3,00

Vocality of a folksinger, taste of an outsider, talent of a great author. One of the greats of our times. We will notice it. more

Gorillaz | DeRank™: 3,43

I find this project by Damon Albarn, first of all, fun; and also very free in its musical offering. Electronics, dance, hip hop, rock, and an obvious pop sprinkle that hints at the genius of the Blur...CLINT EASTWOOD... more

Godflesh — Streetcleaner | DeRank™: 3,90

"You reproduce like rats, don’t look behind you, you have already been dead from the very beginning." This terrible scream opens the first full-length album, released in 1989, by "Carne di Dio." A claustrophobic, industrial sound, repetitive and obsessive in its oppressive bass lines; Justin's guitar, then in his twenties, capable of creating glacial riffs, terrifying in their heaviness. The stunning drum machine amplifies it all; the voice is a growl from a hellish inferno...MURDEROUS... more
