Best band Hard Rock of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ "Led Zeppelin? What's that?"

❝ "Best Band, Ever"

❝ The question here isn’t whether you own 'Made In Japan', but: which version do you have?

❝ The Deep Purple, then! Even though they are all more or less in their sixties, except for Steve Morse, our guys manage to rock like never before.

❝ I am "selfish," I wish that Deep Purple had stopped making records after "Perfect Stranger";

❝ If only one adjective could be used for B.O.C.'s music, I would undoubtedly use: VISIONARY.

❝ Secret Treaties will make Blue Öyster Cult appreciated even by critics.

❝ "It's the nexus of the crisis / and the origin of storms."

❝ Probably, Thin Lizzy is the most underrated band in the great rock landscape of the seventies, overshadowed by the quadrumvirate Zeppelin/Purple/Sabbath/Uriah Heep that reigned supreme among the fans of Albion.

❝ Thin Lizzy: arguably the most underrated band of all time.

❝ This Black Rose: A Rock Legend, from ’79, is seen by many as the swan song, the last noteworthy one before the personal problems of the individual musicians engulfed everything.

❝ Many know the Free only for their worldwide hit “All Right Now”, and it's a real shame.

❝ A roaring boom greets a random note, an almost intimidated "Hello" and one of the most famous riffs of the '70s.

❝ All Right Now - an extraordinary piece, with incredible drive, with a sharp and indelible riff, very current, undoubtedly the emblematic track of Free and a true generational anthem.

❝ “One of the things I am most proud of, in my heart, is that Black Sabbath was not created by any big shot... we were four losers who wanted to try to make a dream come true, which ultimately did, exceeding all expectations.”

❝ Black Sabbath practically invented heavy metal out of nothing.

❝ We were not hippies, and we hated the hippies

❝ “Nazareth is a hard rock band formed in 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland”.

❝ WE GONNA RAZAMANAZ ALL NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

❝ “AC-DC really didn't invent anything”

❝ If you're not afraid of the roars of a distorted, relentless bass.

❝ PLAY LOUD!!!

❝ They are the Grand Funk Railroad, one of the loudest bands in the entire history of Rock.

❝ Strangers in the Night is one of the 10 best hard rock live albums of all time.

❝ One of the most explosive live albums in rock history.

❝ It’s 1977 and UFO reaches the pinnacle of a prodigious ascent, to be followed by the praiseworthy “Obsession” and the memorable live “Strangers in the Night”.

❝ Legendary 70s British rock band, Bad Company are recognized as the inventors of AOR.

❝ What more can be said about Bad Company... nothing, it bears repeating: a voice of unique beauty, agility, and masculinity; three or four ideas per song, no more, but often more than meaningful; gorgeous guitar sounds, not a note more than necessary according to the blessed “less is more” rule; rhythm section on the same wavelength, powerful yet economical, not a single extra note, not even under torture. Minimalists, subtractive.

❝ “Rough Diamonds” is an incredibly banal album, stereotypical and devoid of any convincing idea...

❝ Wishbone Ash remains the world’s most competent band in structures and arrangements based on the interpolation between two solo guitars of equal, mirror-like dignity and importance

❝ This techno, house, trance disc released in 1997 will soon be followed by another similar one entitled “Psychic Terrorism,”

❝ It is the sixth of the thirty (!) studio albums released by the British band from 1970 to today. And it is their absolute nadir.

❝ 'Exit... Stage Left' is their second double live album and the best record ever made by the boys from Toronto, and I’m categorical about that.

❝ One of the most underrated rock albums is the right definition for 'Caress of Steel'.

❝ The Canadian band Rush is a trio with undeniable technical and compositional skills, and in this excellent 1988 live album, they provide a brilliant demonstration of them.

❝

You’re not worthy of reading such a masterpiece, square.

❝

This is rock in its purest essence, ladies and gentlemen.

❝ Ian Anderson and the others have not yet stopped delighting the ears of connoisseurs with their very own progressive rock, based on the extraordinary versatility of an instrument more typical of classical music than rock: the flute.

❝ And in the introduction to this album, Ian Anderson states that Wight wasn't the best concert of their lives, and I sincerely remain perplexed because both in terms of sound quality andperformance, we are at absolute levels.

❝ Under Wraps is Jethro Tull's worst album: cold, too technological, not acoustic enough, not melodic enough, and especially lacking the flute that made the band famous.

❝ One of the best hard rock albums ever! Period.

❝ Kings, sorcerers, castles, popular revolts, elves, fantastic and evocative scenarios: in one word, FANTASY.

❝ This album is unanimously considered inferior to the subsequent "Rising," considered the great masterpiece of this extraordinary band;

❝ Is it possible to listen to “My Generation” without screaming and shaking?!

❝ Less than forty minutes, but an actual punch in the stomach, a pure distillation of that thing that someone called Rock and which instead I like to call Rock.

❝ LOVE REIGNS ON ME.

❝ Trick!!!!! Do you want to understand that it will never come out???

❝ Guns N’ Roses today are what they’ve always been.

❝ Appetite For Destruction is the life of the Guns n' Roses in twelve songs.

❝ These are undoubtedly the most incredible 2 minutes and 24 seconds in the history of rock, it’s all so, so Hendrix for god's sake.

❝ Magic. Hendrix was magic, above all else.

❝ “If God exists, he is a hippie and plays the electric guitar”

❝ Make it yours, knowing that you have in your hands one of the definitive rock masterpieces of the seventies.

❝ If this group makes it, I'll have to kill myself!

❝ Unstoppable.

❝ A band that has always, and I mean always, adhered to this ideal is Saxon.

❝ This album takes your breath away from start to finish, not a single slow piece, not a single guitar without distortion.

❝ After listening to this album, you will remain silent for 1 minute to absorb it. And then only the following exclamation will come from your mouth: “MIIIINCHIA!”

❝ From start to finish, the record presents itself as an exhausting cavalcade through hard rock, blues, and boogie, all played even more crudely than in any previous work by the band.

❝ Pump is the second of Aerosmith's three "Big Ones," the three jewels of the veteran Boston band's discography.

❝ If Southern Rock didn’t die with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 'Sweet Home Alabama' or the Allman Brothers Band's 'Jessica,' it’s precisely thanks to “Shake Your Money Maker,” the debut of the Black Crowes dated 1990.

❝ This 2010 double album was the last from the Black Crows for a long time, followed by yet another brawl between the two bosses of the group, namely singer and guitarist brothers Robinson.

❝ Warmth, introspection, feeling, cohesion are adjectives that well describe the current status of the band, which seems to have been reborn after the entry of Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi All Stars) on guitar.

❝ Unjustly forgotten, the Sir Lord Baltimore are a power-trio from New York who left a scorching mark on the music scene with their debut in 1970, with the album "Kingdom Come," to be considered as a true example of heavy metal ante litteram.

❝ An Emotion called Kiss.

❝ You Wanted The Best! You've got The Best! The Hottest Band In the World... KISS!!

❝ Impossible not to affirm that what comes out is an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Year 1968, “Wheels Of Fire” by the British Cream. The pinnacle of their short but very dense career.

❝ Cream’s performances are intense and captivating, with extremely long solos and improvisations at the end, at high volume and energy.

❝ There are albums that deserve to be considered (not only) for their intrinsic value as a record, but for their quality as real "time machines."

❝ "Just watching them on stage for a minute convinced you that no one could stop them. They were a lit fuse." (Gene Simmons, Kiss).

❝ Van Halen was a band that had fun.

❝ The Triumph, key figures of a school often underestimated or perhaps overshadowed by its American counterpart, the Canadian one, along with Rush represent the highest peaks in the hard rock and non-rock environment of the North American country.

❝ With this second album, our roosters hit the mark.

❝ Atomic Rooster was an interesting band from the early seventies, perfectly balanced between hard rock and progressive.

❝ Atomic Rooster emerged at the dawn of Prog Rock.

❝ Primordial is the most suitable adjective to define the sound of Blue Cheer, a Californian combo from the late '60s.

❝ It's not exactly the type of music I usually listen to, and it's not an easy album to review: it is raw, harsh, primitive, and the production work is quite sparse, but let's not forget the historical importance of the record and the influences it has had on the hard rock and heavy metal genres, and how exciting and dramatic the album itself is.

❝ This "Squawk" is certainly a small masterpiece of creativity and imagination, where each track shines with its own life and light, while at the same time managing to develop the band's more Heavy and weighty side. A work unjustly ignored at the time but should be rediscovered.

❝ What emerges is a work that fits perfectly within the historical context of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, important for the genre and for the influences it has managed to direct towards the entire Metal movement.

❝ "Breadfan", the first work of the album, is introduced by a snappy riff, made famous by Metallica, fast and rapid, one is stunned by the compositional skills of the trio, but above all, as I have already said, by the voice of Bourge supported and well blended by the continuous explosive scales of Shelley and Bourge himself.

❝ If a bunch of music critics got together, watched, selected, evaluated, left the room, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best rock music performance of all time," then there is clearly a reason.

❝ Your life is your own You're in charge of yourself Master of your home In the end In the end You have to face it alone

❝ "A night at the Opera" is Queen's masterpiece.

❝ “Ballad group us? We absolutely reject this label. We haven't actually done that many ballads... and I don’t think people identify us this way” (Klaus Meine)

❝ “Apoteosis is the right term to define this record which, in my opinion, represents the peak of a glorious climb, success after success, through a series of excellent albums, for a band that never gave up or got discouraged during difficult moments.”

❝ “This album ultimately represents the last masterpiece of the Scorpions' second “classic” lineup: angry, rock-solid, embellished by the outstanding performance of all the members.”

❝ Holy Diver is one of those rare albums that you listen to with immense pleasure even after a long time.

❝ This posthumous release is a product of excellent quality and great appeal, both for the fan and the newcomer, who can get an idea of what "Dio" was at the time, a true and immortal rock'n'roll band. Recommended

❝ "Dio’s Inferno," in fact, proves to be a quality product, well-played – it would be impossible to expect otherwise – and with a rather balanced setlist, drawing a bit from the entire discography of the New York sprite.

❝ Blood, sweat, and tears was SRV's motto regarding his way of playing, as well as a perfect description of the kind of timbre he sought.

❝ "Sometimes what appear as failures, are really successes in disguise"

❝ Thus, our cowboy starts from Austin, Texas, and travels across the entire star-spangled nation, shooting guitar solos and blues songs.

❝ David Coverdale is defined as the "Divo" of hard rock.

❝ Try it instead: positive result guaranteed.

❝ A timeless work, as they say, with a sound still very current.

❝ If only one name from the entire history of rock remains in a hundred years, it will inevitably be Jimi Hendrix, said Pete Townshend.

❝ Here. In about two minutes, Jimi Hendrix one day decided to show us his soul and we all realized that his soul was so, so beautiful.

❝ Hendrix and the completely still and mesmerized audience in front of this being who came from who knows where to express everything he had inside with the howls he managed to produce from his guitar..

❝ 'Pyromania' is a work that snapshots the band at its best form and still deserves today the esteem and respect of anyone who considers themselves a fan of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal...

❝ In fact, there is absolutely no problem or flaw in this album.

❝ they ventured into composing the album that is still considered their greatest success (both commercially and compositionally), "Hysteria."

❝ An album unfairly dismissed.

❝ A varied album, therefore, a classic American HIGHWAY record that you can listen to without too many pretensions.

❝ And on the seventh day God created Long Cold Winter, and the word spread in the air.

❝ After forty years, evolving is not taken for granted, and often it is done in the opposite direction. But not here, not this time.

❝ My band and I never talk about this album, and we don’t even play it at concerts.

❝ No doubt, this album is an absolute must-have.

❝ "Climbing!" is their debut album, dated 1970.

❝ "Nantucket Sleighride," released in 1971, is the second official album of the band.

❝ It's 1969, and the Woodstock festival is approaching.

❝ “The Lynyrd Skynyrd that once were will never exist again.”

❝ “Music is all we have and know. If it hadn't been for rock'n'roll, we would have gone to pick cotton.”

❝ “Don't tell me nonsense. You know it. You know it better than I do. Even the stones know it. Lynyrd Skynyrd has not existed since 1977.”

❝ ...What is Metal? METAL IS PAINKILLER!

❝ Year 1976: the genre of Heavy Metal is officially born, and if this happens, we mainly owe it to the second work of Judas Priest, with the poetic name of Sad Wings of Destiny.

❝ A live that has truly made history and which I consider inimitable and unattainable in importance and beauty.

❝ The Motorhead, you either love them or hate them.

❝ We usually get drunk, play, and fall off the stage. Not necessarily in that order.

❝ We are Motörhead, and we play Rock 'N' Roll!

❝ And instead, what a wallop, what a lesson, I had to keep quiet.

❝ Personally, I enjoy the golden age, of which "Dr. Feelgood" represents the masterpiece, an album that reeks of sweat and greasepaint, a mix of macho rock and androgynous image, an album that talks of women, parties, and bad guys, but first spends hours in front of the mirror fixing makeup and hair.

❝ A high-class album to use as a nice ashtray.

❝ “Ritual De Lo Habitual” is to be counted among the milestones also for this.

❝ THESE GUYS REALLY ROOOOCK!!!!!!

❝ They basically paved the way for Alternative and the last generation of good rock in the nineties, and what do they do?

❝

"These guys are criminals."

❝

"The fact remains that these three gentlemen have now returned to being the best power trio around."

❝

"We are the Motorpsycho. Your musical and cultural characteristics will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

❝ A ticking time bomb, that's "Slave To The Grind", the second badass album by Skid Row...

❝ If anyone didn't know yet, SKID ROW still exists!

❝ This album is an absolute must-have in your rock or metal album collection.

❝ My dear Poor Know-it-all, THOSE two records (I'll admit the cover is dreadful) have nothing to do with the Chicago you know, they're their debut and truly I tell you, they are A masterpiece!

❝ The tracklist includes the masterpiece "25 or 6 to 4"

❝ "16" is the album of the tear-jerking ballad par excellence, stadium lighter-consuming, and unique "Hard to Say I'm Sorry"

❝ An album full of Beck’s “school” licks, feedback, slide, wha-wha and probably one of the most elegant and delicate recorded till then by our hero.

❝ In summary, what appeared to me for years as an experiment by Jeff, a mix of rhythm & blues and rock-funky, is perhaps truly the real dividing line between the Jeff Beck rock and the rock-fusion of Blow by Blow and Wired, of course not considering the subsequent fanta-boogie interlude of the BBA group!!!

❝ An album that is certainly not a milestone nor an excellent record (it’s a bootleg, after all), but for the selling price, it is by far advantageous.

❝ Call it whatever you want. For me, the right name is: Maturity...

❝ He looks like Jesus Christ, for crying out loud.

❝ After 1992, they will never be so mean, sinister, wild, heavy again: a true and apocalyptic sonic orgasm.

❝ At least that damn record still sounded like it used to.

❝ Some say they do it better than anyone else, others say they’re now pathetic, and some, like me, claim that this is the true classical music of the late twentieth century, together of course with the best jazz.

❝ This album, despite being recorded under the most terrifying conditions and remixed an indeterminate number of times, remains one of the main cornerstones of the Rolling Stones' discography.

❝ Santana is sweat, it is eroticism, it is shaking your ass to the relentless rhythm even if you're at a funeral.

❝ So let's confidently be guided by our expert shaman and embark on this adventure called "Caravanserai."

❝ This album should be listened to with company, because it must be danced to.

❝ A sincere rock, hard and melodic in equal measure, which is still fun to listen to after thirty years.

❝ In conclusion, it's one of the best live albums of the '80s, but above all, one of the best live Metal albums in general, that every self-respecting metalhead should own!

❝ The first track is stratospheric, "Headhunter" is a true Metal bomb worthy of the early NWOBHM.

❝ Qotsa: probably the best fucking rock band on the planet!

❝ An album that combines sophistication with a lack of pretentiousness, it's enjoyable without tiring, flowing rapidly: a small hallucinogenic masterpiece!

❝ This is the key to understanding (or rather listening to) the latest and newest masterpiece by the band of Josh Homme, the soul and mind of the stoner scene worldwide for over 10 years now.

❝ “7800° Fahrenheit is an utterly monotonous and dull album, one of those made “because it has to be done”.”

❝ “In conclusion, if it still wasn’t clear from the review, we are in front of a perfect album that has superlatively withstood the test of time and that, even if entirely a child of its time, if released today would still deserve the label of masterpiece.”

❝ “This “Lost Highway” instead I find a very anonymous album; even the first rather distracted listen left me with nothing, and subsequent listens added very little”

❝ Hard Rock! Hard Fuckin' Rock! These are the Extreme!

❝ an extremely underrated band, with a thousand facets, composed of serious and capable professionals able to blend rock, metal, funk, and... yes, even more "banal" and commercial pieces like "More than Words" indeed.

❝ clearly showing that Extreme were really much more than "the ones of More than Words"...

❝ "Sacrifice," released in 1970, just a few months after the Black Sabbath's debut record, is perhaps the most beautiful of his nightmares, the most vivid of his decadent frescoes.

❝ By 1970, Satanism in rock was no longer even a taboo, already broken by Coven and Black Sabbath; but while the former were pretending to be Satanists and the latter were frightened by occultism, the Black Widow, born from the ashes of an insignificant blues-rock group, were seriously involved in that dark world, so much so that they officiated real rituals during their concerts, complete with sacrifices.

❝ Sly, cunning, perfect trend followers, yet extremely fascinating.

❝ Very few bands embody the concept of a "cult" band as well as The Cult.

❝ And they did so with one of the most robust and determined works of their career: "Beyond Good And Evil."

❝ Stain is a vortex. Of emotions and reflections.

❝ The result is one of the most successful crossover experiments in rock history.

❝ A band to have. Surely recommendable to all those who seek the maximum from music and a concert: technique, passion, and fun. What else could you want?

❝ with this album have to put it mildly CREATED glam.

❝ The Slider is the apotheosis of his music

❝ “I am my own fantasy,” he said, constantly moving from one space of illusion to another.

❝ They’ve been in the same formation for over fifty years, damn: maximum respect.

❝ "Eliminator" is the eighth studio album by the Texan trio ZZ Top, and their most known and appreciated work.

❝ Long beards.

❝ “I was surprised when I discovered that there was only one review of the legendary Mr. Big on Debaser.”

❝ “A MUST-HAVE!!!!!!!!!”

❝ “Mr. Big is back and they’ve done it in great style, with a fresh and engaging album; above all, a sincere album, devoid of contaminations too far from the group’s style,”

❝ You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

❝ It’s fucking rock’n’roll after all, it’s live, it’s blood and sweat.

❝ A complete and essential album in music history.
