I saw Pierrot Lunaire mentioned. Their two albums are excellent. They have released a third album last year, after about 40 years but I haven't listened to it yet

PFM, although I think Per un amico is a better album.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Really wanted to pull the lever for Maxophone, but PFM is in the list and it's their good period.

Only three albums????
Osanna, PFM and Cervello.....maybe.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

All are excellent, but voted for Le Orme - Felona E Sorona, because this album has one of my fav  prog pieces ever, in my top 5 - L'equillibrio

If it was PFM anything against the best of all the other bands, I would vote for PFM (I just don't like Italian bands except for PFM).

For me...(I have always had some difficulty getting into Italian Prog) the most listenable are PFM, Cherry 5, and Maxophone.....though I do have many of the others on that list but need to play them more often.

BTW....where's Micky...?? He's a huge Italian prog fan and should be weighing in here.....it seems he hasn't posted for about 3 months..?

Zarathustra
Darwin!
Felona E Sorona
-------------------
Palepoli
Maxophone
Forse le Lucciole non si Amano Più
-----------------
Now if L'isola di Niente had been on the list I would have gone that route!!! (The first two PFM albums are good and all but the third one is - as Bill Bruford might say - the cookie.)
