I was thinking to create a poll with Italian prog. I just need a bit of time.

Awesome, I'd love to see it whenever it goes up. Hoping we might get some metal, I have an itch for it right now, but whatever you want, of course.

Fantastic choices, of course.

I've been doing bit of an around the world tour of some of my favourite albums and regions for music, and here are 25 classics from Italy. While I would have loved to include favourites of mine like Ennio Morricone and Egisto Macchi, I decided to stick with that is included in PA for the list.

I know that some of my albums choices would not particular popular, but these are meaningful to me.

Please vote for up to five albums in the poll, or more if you really want to, and I encourage people to mention any of their favourite Italian albums. Of course there many other great acts and albums that I could have listed and also like. With so much great music, my particular tastes, and as much as I know or what I know, what may be an obvious omission to you may not be to me.
