Any Area fans here?

AREA is one of my all-time three favourite prog bands from Italy!! My personal rankinig is:

1- Maledetti (1976)

2- Caution Radiation Area (1974)

3- Crac! (1975)

4- Arbeit Macht Frei (1974) (this one has Patrick Djivas in the original line-up, before he went to PFM)

5- 1978 (Gli Dei se ne Vanno, Gli Arrabiati Restano) (1978, of course! - having the lead guitarist departed, they focused a bit more on ethnic jazz fusion, but keeping the fire of all previous recordings) 

frenchie wrote: British are best at everything. We invented prog and have the best prog bands, yes, crimson, genesis, floyd, oldfield etc. althought american bands are good they mainly are just doing their own versions of things the british created. A good example is Metallica (American) Carrying on heavy metal where its inventers Black Sabbath (British) left off. we are the best.

Chauvinism? . Obviously, you like British prog more than Italian or South American or Japanese or...  Does it mean that it's the best? I don't think so

Everything!

To avoid only works as Area 2 and the last Chernobyl 1997, boring jazz works.
