    Reveries ?? It's just a song, not an album.

    In fact, it is also a collection of pieces, reinterpreted for the occasion, to which I am very attached...

    Yes, a collection for sure.... thrown at the officials and thrown at the live ones, thrown.

    But how can you listen to a collection of Conte?? Well, it’s not like it’s Luigi Tiepidino in his majestic and unforgettable performance at the shopping mall.

    Well, a re-sung and entirely selected collection by Conte is no small feat, and this one in particular has a precise meaning (for me). If I had to mention a live album, I would definitely say "Tournée"...

    but if you are very attached, nothing to say

    Conte's live performances are all majestic, many of his songs shone with an even brighter light, but there are some gems he has never performed in that version, and you can only hear them in the studio, which is why you need to get them on CD. Is it true you're going tomorrow?

    Yes, yes, I know, I practically have all the CDs... down there I just wanted to put something (temporarily) essential, there's not enough space to write everything that I like! In the meantime, we'll see on October 12 with the new "Nelson"...

    Do you have them all and are you putting together a collection? Hmmmmm

    Damn, this album has given me some special emotions. I don't care if it's a compilation, a live album, or a dump of discarded songs. Give it a listen, and you'll see it's not just a "simple" mishmash of tracks...

    But put on a couple of serious records and don’t drag it out too much with the chit-chat.

    Let's assume you're right and I'm just being a pain in the ass; the ranking is yours and you can write whatever you want, okay? Your emotions are yours and that's fine. But there's one thing I have to say: by putting out a collection (whether it's great with rearranged tracks, whatever you want, but that's what it is), it diminishes all the masterpieces that Conte has created (and there are at least four in a row). And just out of curiosity, if I have 15 CDs by an artist and I claim that their best work is a collection, there are two possibilities: either I don't understand anything, or I'm just not that enthusiastic about them after all.

    the most important song of Fossati imho, anyway. I see that it's closely followed...

    included the great "Tommaso" (I think that's correct) so now we also want a ranking of the best actors (or at least the most versatile ones...)

    @paNZZOone: well, obviously it's just for the sake of chatting: I never said that the albums I've listed under their respective artists are the best or the ones I consider to be so. They are just the ones I'm most attached to, whether because I've listened to them more or because through them I've gotten to know an artist better and thus they served as a bridge to a new world. In the case of Conte, it was like that, there's not much I can do...
