I have only just recently gotten into Italian prog and my first exposure to it was PFM,so I voted for them. I also enjoy Banco,Le Orme and Dues ex Machina.I am not familiar with quite a lot of the bands in the poll,my knowledge of this particular genre is somewhat limited. -------------  |

My vote in this poll go to Deus ex Machina. But... you forgive other great bands like Area (the best for me!!), Banco, or Il Balletto di Bronzo. They must to be here!! ------------- Le pregunte, y su sonrisa se desprendio desgarrando al aire. |

Le Orme has a very unique sound and, despite de grandiousness of PFM, Museo and Quella Vecchia Locanda, has a discography far more regular in quality than the other prog giants, including PFM. Even their "pop" albums have their moments. |

You're right!!... YS of BdB is a masterpiece!! I will make a new poll soon including Balleto, Area and of course Banco and Consorzio Acqua Potabile... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

Great to notice that more and more progheads are discovering the beauty and excitement of the Italian prog of the Seventies I voted for Le Orme (with PFM as second best) because of their superb blend of ELP inspired keyboards play (but more varied) and the wonderful melancholical vocals and acoustic guitar along the great compositional skills. What a pity that so many splendid Italian bands like Museo Rosenbach and Cherry Five only made one album FORZA ITALIA!!! |

Most consistently for me ... it is PFM ... but what a magnificent scene ... ------------- "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." |

I really love Banco and PFM. Lately though I've been hearing Nuova Era which I find very good as well. Of the 70's bands I also love Quella Vecchia Locanda (which are not on the poll  ), Le orme and Locanda delle Fatte.------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

I vote for Museo Rosenbach but I was torn between them and Il Balletto di Bronzo. Y's is a terriffic album but Museo Rosenbach Zarathrusta is more close to my taste.It's very difficult to choose just one band from this brillant scene of progressive music. I discover a lot of incredible albums since I listen to italian bands (for about 1 1/2 year) such as I Giganti, Quella Vecchia Locanda and Le Orme. Just last week, I listen to Latte E Miele "Papillon" for the first time and was very pleased with it, even on the first listen.I want to buy their albums soon. |

Le Orme for me...Even though I'm italian I've always considered
italian-prog not much more than a british-prog copy, and more than this
I've always hated italian traditional songwriting and sounds, so that
even great moments of italian scene didn't get me so much. But Le Orme
completely changed my opinion _ and that's strange because ingredients
of their music are the ones I didn't like_ and since them I also
appreciated Uovo di Colombo, Balletto di Bronzo, Perigeo,Locanda delle
Fate. (not as well Banco and PFM) Collage is a Masterpiece (listen to "Immagin"i) |

Locanda delle Fatte? The correct spelling is Locanda delle Fate with only one T! In our common language Locanda delle Fatte would mean: Drug-Addict-Women's Inn!!! P.S. ...and I haven't spoken about the errors of my english!!! |

Dear Italians, what would you suggest to replace my enthousiastic FORZA ITALIA because of the associations with that awful person Berlusconi ?

FORZA ITALIA is also the traditional incitement to our national football team!!

I voted PFM, but none of the groups in the poll is a pup (and there are many other excellent Italian Prog groups, not mentioned in the poll). It's a testament to the quality of the Italian Prog music scene that the list of good Prog groups is so large.

I'm working in a new list including the bands that I didn't mentioned on this poll... I hope my next poll will be more complete not just for you perhaps the other people that voted for several bands that I left out of this poll such as New Trolls, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Alphataurus, Allusa Phalax, Area, Nuova Idea, etc... Thanks for your reply!!... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |
