| Ooh. Now, if it was band vs band then I'd say Banco, purely because of output (ocassionally quantity DOES win over quality) but as it's merely Ys vs Darwin! then there's no question: Balletto wins by a good few yards. |

I am relatively new to the Italian prog scene(I am really digging it),and I love Banco so I will vote for Darwin. -------------  |

If you haven't already heard Il Balletto di Bronzo's masterpiece, not-me-TP then you must. Immediately. It's the high watermark of the Italian prog scene, IMO. |

YS, even as much as I love Darwin. YS is just an incredible
album. The subject matter is just the cherry on top. Don't
understand a word of Italian, with YS.. translations aren't
needed hahahahhah.

While "Ys" is a hell of a masterpiece of Italian prog hard rock, I must prefer BMS's "Darwin!", since it includes more diversity: also, the BMS musicians were capable of diplaying lots of textures and clever interplaying in a higher degree than their compatriots of Balletto. Any of BMS's first 3 albums is better, richer and more accomplished than (the excellent) "Ys". |

| i can't make a choice: both albums are on the same (high) level! |

| The question you pose is horribly hard. These two albums are quite likely the pinnacle of Italian prog, but yes, by a small notch, Ys wins. |

Banco is certainly the more "sophisticated" of the two prog groups and
Darwin is a real highlight of the whole scene, but it is the very raw
power of Ys that makes it just that bit more special for me ...
