Allright, progaardvark, now it certainly looks much more likely we have some common taste as those albums of your top 12 I'm very fond of myself:
1. Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra
2. Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per un amico
3. Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il tempo della gioia
6. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Darwin!
7. Metamorfosi - Inferno
9. Le Orme - Felona e Sorona
11. Il Balletto di Bronzo - Ys
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Banco - Darwin!
Area - Caution Radiation Area
Picchio dal Pozzo - s/t
Dedalus - s/t
Patrizio Fariselli - 100 Ghosts

So, Accordo dei Contrari is a quite well known band?

I was lucky to travel to Italy 5 times between 2013 - 2019, visiting a record store in Rome with my cousins (i think it was Laziale) i found a lot of material of classic and modern RPI.

My cousins are fans of progresive rock, and specially of the material released by AltRock records and Mellow records, my first encounter with Accordo dei contrari was with the album AdC

I'll also do only one album per artist, otherwise there'll just be a bunch of Area albums all at the top:

1. Area - Caution Radiation Area
2. Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per Un Amico
3. Homunculus Res - Limiti All'Eguaglianza Della Parte Con Il Tutto
4. Yugen - Iridule
5. Arti & Mestieri - Giro Di Valzer Per Domani
6. Picchio Dal Pozzo - Picchio Dal Pozzo
7. Dedalus - Dedalus
8. Maxophone - Maxophone
9. D.F.A. - Lavori In Corso
10. Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
11. Breznev Fun Club - Il Misantropo Felice
12. Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra

NichelOdeon's latest album might make it into this list too from what I've heard, but I need to listen to it more attentively before my mind is fully made up on it.

Also, as someone from "clog prog"'s country of origin I can say I do not feel the slightest bit offended by the term and I doubt any other Dutch person would be; even if it weren't used in good fun it's too silly to be upset over, although I certainly don't wish to discourage anyone who disagrees, or any German or Italian users who find the other two terms used to be inappopriate, from speaking up if they do.
