Please vote for no more than 3.
My favourite of these is definitely Sulle Corde di Aries and today second and third go to Dedalus and Celeste.

Tilt, Maxophone, and Inferno (in no particular order)..
I probably prefer the second Arti e Mestieri album, but both are amazing beyond belief. And as far as Goblin, nothing can beat Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark for me |

Only 3? That is impossible with this kind of selection.
I love all of these - many of them go back with me to the very start of my love affair with Italian music. 3? Alright, today it's Battiato (always Battiato), Cervello and Il Balletto di Bronzo although my finger obviously went for Area instead. Very nice selection here Hubert. I see you made an 'other' option which I take is there both to please certain folks and for recs. So yeah erm hang onto yer boots! Similar to Biglietto per L'Inferno: Beautiful melodic prog pop a la Battisti: Rocking and psychedelic classic (w flute): High priestess summons her powers behind Battiato-like organs n electronics: Similar to Cervello but wholly unique: Strange enigmatic combo of electronic, library music and psych rock from the insides of a cardboard box: Drummer's delight with two raging percussionists over mostly instrumental RPI: This is what you can do without synths in your RPI baby!: Gelatinously smooth babybottom psych with loads of melodies: Area-like spastic behaviour served up with spiralling Italian folk music and melodies where you don't normally find them: If you dig Celeste then this is your jam. I prefer this to Celeste actually: PFM with a 60s Moody Blues twist: Zappa in Italian: Quella Vecchio Locanda's badly produced second cousin: Plenty more where they came from. My fingers just ran out of gas. Edited by Guldbamsen - December 07 2017 at 14:33 |

God's gift to the world was the Progressive Italia Gli Anni '70 Boxsets, which is how I got Portable Madness and Fragments from Sensations Fix on CD, Al Mercato Degli Uomini Piccoli on CD (which is fantastic), both the Latte E Miele's (which Papillon is one of my favorite albums ever), Stradaperta, Jumbo's Vietato 18 and DNA.. Ibis' Sun Supreme. Madrugada.
Another one's both the Il Volo albums, Grupo's Ipotesi, Carnascialia (which has Demetrio Stratos' vocals) Formula 3's Sognando, Etna, Delirium's three albums, De De Lind Good poll, but it's missing some of my favorite Italian albums |

Celeste, Area & QVL...
But if Jumbo had either Vietato or DNA, they'd have gotten a vote for sure |

Threw for a vote towards the underrated Biglietto Per L'inferno. Rather surprised to see no votes for Osanna yet; I assume that'll change pretty quicky.

Well that was pretty easy; my 3 favourite RPI albums all happened to be in here!
Storia Di Un Minuto, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Cherry Five were my picks, though there's a solid 15 or 20 albums in here that I like.

Too many albums I don't know from these, but I do have Inferno, and I absolutley love it. I feel it deserves more love.

This list of albums is quite impressive, and the list of albums not mentioned is also quite impressive. Voted for PFM, Goblin, Banco, but it could as well be many others.

I just recently went through an RPI binge checking out all those albums that have eluded me and i am consistently in awe of how much high quality music emerged from Italy in a short period of time. I am utterly unable to choose between these because the list is to chock full of my favorites but i'll try.
Il Balleto di Bronzo - Ys for being the most unique album on the list Area - Arbeit Macht Frei for being my favorite band on the list Osanna - Palepoli for probably being the album i've listened to the most |
