Bennato pulls the strings very well...even if the puppet has no strings.

For me, the True Bennato (capital letters) ends with this, even if it’s already musically less raw and more "bourgeois" than the previous ones. After two decent/good albums, a few good tracks mixed with sporadic crap.

Yes, yes, after that it struggled a lot to stay afloat. "They're just little songs," still decent, then quite dark with only a few flashes.

I also think that "Sono solo canzonette" is quite inferior to this, as the intention and the music have been sporadically lifted from the work mentioned above. "Burattino senza fili" is not only my favorite album by Bennato, but another cornerstone of Italian singer-songwriter music.

My favorite by Bennato is "I Buoni ed i Cattivi," but let's say I prefer the first four to Burattino. :) As for the rest, I agree.

Well, anyway, great choice, in fact; let's get straight to the point: here are my top five by Bennato.
1 - Burattino senza fili
2 - I Buoni ed i Cattivi
3 - La torre di Babele
4 - Non farti cadere le braccia
5 - Io che non sono l'imperatore

For me too, the best of Bennato are the ones you mentioned, just in a slightly different order.

As far as I'm concerned, it holds up until 1987. Then comes the artistic death, although some things can still be saved until the mid-90s. For the past 25 years or so, it's been total nothingness. What a shame.
