I'd say both are at the same level, even if Formula Tre are way more famous in Italy, due to the great collaboration with Lucio Battisti.


Well... I don't know. But is true: Two similar bands... And, for me, Il Volo is the continuation of Formula 3!!!

Technically speaking, Il Volo is amazing; but when I listen to one of their album I always get the impression they use the same chord progressions for all the tracks - and they end up being so boooooooooring... Formula 3 had got real songs (ok, they didn't write them by themselves...) and finally I cannot stand Lavezzi's or Radius' voices at all (Di Cicco's teenage register works much better)]]> Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:19:19 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39279&PID=2558403#2558403 To the end... 2 similar bands: Formula 3/ Il Volo : Difficult indeed, third option... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39279&PID=2558384#2558384 Author: memowakeman

Difficult indeed, third option seems to be the best Tongue since i really enjoy both bands.
I have a special love for Sognando e Risognando because it was one of the first RPI albums i ever listened (and loved)

I think you'll love it... if you want an honest accessment  (not from us damn fanboys hahhaha) ask David (Atavachron) I know he recently got a copy of La Grande Casa.

Well... Nothing of special...  The Prog is almost totally absent...  In any case honests are:

FORMULA 3

King Kong

(Studio Album, 1991)
for the presence of the new version of "Dies Irae".

FORMULA 3

La Casa Dell'imperatore

(Studio Album, 1994)
Also if a POP album... Is good!

FORMULA 3

Il Nostro Caro... Lucio

(Studio Album, 2004)
Only a tribute album... But with very good moments.

I had both Dies Irae and Formula 3 by the band, are there any others worth getting?

Haha... great news!! I will try and track them down sometime, thanks. Most of my Italian prog was brough when I was last in Italy, so about time for some new material.


I'd recommend Sognando E Risongnando first.. more 'traditional' of a prog album not knowing your tastes exactly. La Grande Casa is more accoustic driven  with such gorgeous melodies. Some people don't really go for that stuff. 


The first two Formula 3 albums are very good Psychedelic/ Hard Rock album. "Sognando..." and "La Grande Casa" are Prog (more "Sognando..."). The 90's production are POP with Prog moments and in the successive years the Formula 3 it became  official tribute band of Lucio Battisti, and produced good tribute album.

But if you loved "Sognando E Risognando" and "La Grande Casa" you will note that Il Volo is the natural prosecution of "La Grande Casa" style!!!

I prefer Il Volo, their two albums are originally,
but feel the Formula Tre's influence for the presence of two F3 musicians
