Hi,

Again, I don't do albums, and I think I have not heard enough of the things listed. I'll make a decent effort to catch up!

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso  
Le Orme   
Premiata Forneria Marconi  
Biglietto/Baffo Banfi
Franco Battiato
Goblin
Sensation's Fix
Osanna

The saddest bit for me, was the mention of OSANNA in one other post. One of the bands that helped define this genre, and the band that PG copied when his group toured Italy with them, and they are still around, although (have to check) not quite as complete as they were then, or as theatrical.

Their doing this, also helped ANGE do their thing, although theirs is more centered on Brecht and Brel in the early days, but both DEcamps never lost their theatricality in their music. I'm not sure about OSANNA's versions, as I am not as familiar with Italian Literature and the arts, other than a whole bunch of operas ... gads ... we should do a poll on that!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Never listen to it.

Thanks for the advice.

I find it a great concept album myself, and at least it's a part of my opening list.

I don't think I can go up to 12 albums, but my first choice would have to be Inferno, by Metamorfosi, which seems to be sadly overlooked on this thread. Other albums I love are Darwin from Banco and Felona e Sorona from Le Orme. And some others that I do like a lot, and with some songs among my very favorite, but that have songs that I don't really remember much, like YS from Il Balleto di Bronzo and Zarathustra from Museo Rosenbach. Oh yeah, and I usually forget them for not being among the 70's classics, but Unreal City and Logos did some great albums recently.

Awesome list--and I agree with 90% of your items--but, somehow, it feels like an entirely different world/entirely different topic!

What is the meaning of it, Cristi?

ask Paul, why ask me? 
I don't want to clog up this thread by going off-topic with irrelevant posts - although it's probably too late for that already - but seeing as you asked, here's a charming Dutch clog dance for you. Smile

I didn't say it was your fault, it's just that every thread I look at these days seems to have you two bickering about something. LOL

Sorry, I thought you were funny. 
Edit:
But you were funny.
And maybe I've got to be more carefull with my misunderstanding.
