Usually, I don't like "love-only" singer-songwriters, but strangely I do like him: it seems I'm the odd one out! In fact, I’ll go even further, thinking completely against the grain: I liked him much more when he mostly made beautiful and heartfelt love songs than I do now, when he has turned to more "experimental" stuff (Oltre, Viaggiatore sulla coda del tempo, etc.), because I think he is much better in the former than the latter. And for me, "Sabato pomeriggio" (75) and "Strada facendo" (81) are two great albums. Even musically, he is not exactly a newcomer: arrangements by Vangelis, Bacalov, etc.
