Edoardo Bennato

Great singer-songwriter: sarcastic, ironic, sharp, mocking lyrics, and much more. He’s also very good as a musician. It may well be true, as (almost) everyone says, that he has declined a lot in recent years. But even if that were the case (as you may have understood, I’m a bit biased), I still prefer him by far to other "artists" that are currently around: Gigi D'Alessio, Laura Pausini, Biagio Antonacci, Eros Ramazzotti, Alessandra Amoroso, Giusy Ferreri, and the like.
