Edoardo Bennato

The first Italian musician to be defined as "punk": the first five badass, rough, rock n' roll, and fucking politicized albums, among the most memorable of Italian singer-songwriter/rock music. From 1977 onwards, the protest became more "refined" but less spontaneous and angry, but "Sono Solo Canzonette" and "Uffà! Uffà!" still remain great albums. Of what comes after, only a few nice tracks are mixed with passable and forgettable missteps.
