PFM definitely my favourite of Rock Progressivo Italiano.
I have all of their stuff on mp3 but am trying to collect on vinyl again - so expensive!

I had tickets to see them only a few years ago - they planned only two gigs, in London and, close to where I am, in Rotherham.
Guess which gig the buggers cancelled?


I also love Banco, Le Orme and Osanna.

Shame, they are a sight for the ears live!

My introduction to Banco was through the release of their music with English lyrics.
This album is a 'Best of...' sung in English.
It's brilliant, although I would always prefer to listen to the original Italian of every one of the aforementioned bands.

And...
Has anybody come across The Watch?
Bit of a con really, as they are really an Italian Genesis tribute act which also play their own music, usually in English.
They sound uncannily like Gabriel-era Genesis and one of their albums - 'Timeless' - actually takes themes from the 'Revelation' album and twists them around or simply re-presents them.
Their original material just sounds like lost early Genesis songs!

Very interesting.
