he is definitely.....  his pop music is great stuff. I love it. 

Nice album to get is Giubbe Rosse. A live album from the late 80's with primarlily pop songs and some prog, songs from Clic and Sulle Corde di Aries.

haven't reviewed it yet... working my way towards it. 

Nice to see another Battiato fan here hahha. Fetus was my least favorite of the 1st era.  I'd take a listen to Clic if you can find it...  it is the 'higher rated' here of this first era.  I think it is a damn good album as well.

voted for Sulle Corde di Aries...since it's my favorite of that era (though I'm the only one of the RPI team to think so about that one) .. but Clic is close and love all 4.

LOVE the second era...  I did a poll on  those a month or two ago.  First and Second era...  the third era is soon to come hahhaha.

Multiple votes are allowed. Vote & Write!!! (My fav is Pollution, and nearly all second era)
