Since discovering this website, I have heard numerous positive references to Italian Prog, but I have never found the opportunity to listen to any. Where should I begin? Please reccomend bands/albums to someone who is completely new to this "subgenre". ------------- Arguing on the internet is a lot like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded. |

Tony R - I picked this album up from Rasputin's in San Francisco a couple years ago on a whim. Absolutely fantastic stuff! Blew me away! Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't heard it! |

If I could only have 1 Italian prog CD, which one should I choose? I know I'll end up purchasing dozens, but I need a strong starting point. ------------- Arguing on the internet is a lot like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded. |

A good place to start is with a classic album from one of the "big" names: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso: Darwin OR Io Sono Nato Libero Premialta Forneria Marconi: Storia di un Minuto OR Per un Amico Or you could choose one from both of these groups. And if you like it go for the other recommendations... |

One more addition (can you still handle it, this wagonload of recommendations?): I Giganti - Terra In Bocca - a great concept album about the mafia. Very soulful singing, like Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra, hard rocking and lot's of different musical influences. |

I actually just discovered this website and have been downloading the free mp3s here in hopes of finding a new band. I'd often heard of the Italian prog-scene in the 70s but had never heard any of it...except for the Suspiria soundtrack, but that doesn't count. So I've just ordered Per Un Amico, Storia di un Minuto, & L'isola di niente after listening to a couple tracks. Can't wait to get the discs. I've REALLY been digging those couple free tunes. I'm a newbie to a lot of this stuff. Been listening to the "prog basics" for about a decade and have finally found somewhere to give some new recommendations. |

Good choice for a newcomer to Italian Prog. You won't regret it - all three are excellent.

Premiata Forneria Marconi: Storia di un Minuto is the one I recommend to newcomers ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

If you dont speak Italian or dont want to here some
operatic singer bellow in a foreign language on top of your prog, then.... Il Volo - Essere, o non essere! Sensations Fix - Portable Madness Picchio dal Pozzo - same Luciano Basso - Voci ------------------------------------------------------ why are most italians in america named TONY? During WW2 the italian mommas loaded their boys on boats headed for New York. They hung a sign around their necks TO NY !
