How about I Dik Dik? They are on this site only with the album "Suite per una Donna Assolutamente Relativa" (1972).

My opinion is that we have to include to this site all the prog stuff.

Even the "Parsifal" album.

Since the band is clearly only a "slushy, commercial pop" band (thanks for using your own words) then we should avoid the rest of its discography.

As for example I Dik Dik their one studio album here.

This is what to do with Sorrenti & co. and that's my humble opinion.

The fact of the popish records from Yes and Genesis during the 80s (the most clear example), this is an irrilevant matter because these bands are undoubtetly "PROG BANDS".

Well, I remember that in my wasted youth  I used to like I Dik Dik quite a lot (didn't they record an Italian-language cover of "Nights in White Satin"?) - though I liked I Nomadi even more. Hopefully you're not a fan of Pooh's after-Parsifal output!

BTW, I think we should discuss the matter in the Collaborators section too, as it is there that band additions are decided. If you need any help with an "Italian-prog" team, I would be glad to help - though I've always been keener on foreign music, I remember quite a few of the things I used to listen to when I was younger.

I will add some more:

  • Fabio Celi E Gli Infermieri
  • Hunka Munka
  • Quel Giorno Di Uve Rosse
  • Forum Livii
  • Luciano Basso

    Fabio, Hunka and Luciano are in the vein of Alan Sorrenti, Quel Giorno has a very good album, quite similar to Pholas Dactylus and Forum Livii with some singles, but Space Dilemma: Wow! what a song! I can't figure it out why they've never recorded a long play?

    Andrew or Andrea Cortese or Andrea do you guys know this ones?

    In the seventies there were a lot of prog artists in Italy... Some of them are almost completely unknown and their albums are quite difficult to find... So, no wonder if nobody knows them!

    Anyway, this is a good site where you can find a lot of info about the Italian prog artists of the seventies...
