(maybe plus Jerusalem, after the war is over; if ever!!!) I'm not a native speaker, but I have near-native competence (I have two English-related degrees). I lived in Finland for almost six years, otherwise I've always lived in Italy. Back IT, in the Prog Polls section there is an ongoing debate on whether the Italian prog movement of the Seventies should have its own subgenre. I opened the poll myself, not out of patriotic pride, but rather on the basis of the huge popularity of such bands and artists with people from completely different backgrounds. It does seem that Italian prog has some sort of appeal on listeners from all over the world... which in a way is flattering, seen as Italy has always boasted of a rich musical heritage.

I don't exactly have much Columbus pride, but Quarkspace is pretty good.

^ Yeah, I know Columbus is not a country, but I never leave central Ohio, so...

The interest and love those bands, especially those who were active in the Seventies, command from people who've never even seen Italy from afar (are you listening here, Micky and Jody?) are reason enough to be proud of all of them - even though, on a personal level, I tend to listen to bands from English-speaking countries than homegrown ones.

I guess you didn't see my post in the "Rock'n Prog" thread.
