I don's listen to PPI as much as I did when I joined this site, but lots I like here. I feel like going with Banco del Mutuo Soccorso's self-titled over Storia di un minuto, Ys, Darwin!, and Perigeo in particular today.

Of these, I think Ys is the best, but Per un amico is my favorite.

There's always one huge album I manage to miss out, so that's a Flea in my ear for missing that one. Smile

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Darwin

Franco Battiato - Pollution

Buon Vecchio Charlie - Buon Vecchio Charlie

Garybaldi - Nuda

Il Balleto di Bronzo - Ys

Jumbo - DNA

Osanna - Palepoli

Perigeo - Azimut 

Premiata Forneria Marconi - Storia di un Minuto

Quella Vechia Locanda - Quella Vechia Locanda



I will probably give my vote to an album that needs it most (Perigeo or Jumbo).

Banco's Darwin. There are a lot of pixels trapped in my nose hairs.

Darwin. I like Banco much more than PFM, and Darwin is my favourite album from them. Such a special singer Francesco. As for PFM, I like Storia di un Minuto much more than Per un Amico.

So many good albums and what a good year!

BMS's debut is a jewel, like Darwin, Osanna, QVL , PFM, Balleto, The Trip...

I gave a vote to the album with Il giardino del mago.

I wanted to vote different from the rest, owning many of these.  I am an avid fan of the genre.  At the end though, I had to pick Per Un Amico.  Lovely album.
Wait until we get in a few years.  I just might break away from the pack!  I have a few unexpected favorites in the coming years poll.
(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8912065b19f669c4',t:'MTcxNzk0NTU3OC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

Jacula's debut was one of the first Italian albums I ever listened to and it still remains a magical album for me.   I also like Antonius Rex - virtually the same band as Jacula but with a different name. Smile
Oh I really didn't like Antonius Rex at all, and nothing post Jacula's debut has had any appeal. I also think Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex is fake. As in not a genuine 1974 album. That cheesy guitar sound and generally awful production didn't really exist back then. At least they've must have re-recorded the guitars and drums in the late 1990's or early 2000's. The beyond awful In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum was originally presented as a 1969 album (back when internet was young:). I never believed that it could be, and now it's considered a 2001-release. 

-Anyway, the rest of my favorites here apart from PFM's first are really both the BMS's, PFM's second, Le Orme, and Il Balletto de Bronzo followed by Jacula's first:)
