I Pooh (Italian prog..or is it)

Hello Micky,

Pooh is one of the most successful Italian pop (not prog) band; at the beginning of their career they were a beat group. Their first LP "Per Quelli Come Noi" contains covers by The Who, The Kinks, Spencer Davis Group along with original material.

I can consider prog this albums:

1) Opera Prima (1971) - fantastic, even if not prog at all.

2) Parsifal (1973) - prog/pop

3) Un Pò Del Nostro Tempo Migliore (1975) - prog/pop

Start first with "Opera Prima" then the others.

Anyway, take a look at this site, you'll find the complete discography and you can also download some Mp3s: http://www.aruga.com/pooh/

Agree with Andrew and Andrea i've only herad Parsifal and Opera Prima. For me Parsifal is a great prog-work.

I think "Opera Prima" is as proggy, as say, the Moodies or BJH.

Or as the Bee Gees "Odessa", which is pretty prog at times as well, in that
sweeping symphonic way.

And I've just had my post count erased for the millionth time. Sigh. If I cared
enough, I'd do something about it.

Yeah, I Pooh has few prog albuns and most of them are beat or disco. You must take care with the albuns. I think from 70 to 75 there may not have problems, because if not full progressive rock, maybe something interesting to a prog rock fan. Later albuns should be avoided (1978 for example) unless you like disco music.
