Holy cow, the third track sounds like a cover of Yes.
 
PRIMITIVE MAN - Menacing (Official Music Video)

The tea bags are already in the teapot and the water is about to boil: who’s having tea with cookies against this calm background?
 
Recalling the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, namely a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from the worst to the best...

No. 3: "Vai Mo'" (1981)
Fourth album of unpublished works, and here we are at the podium. Here we are at the trio of wonders from '79 to '81, the best Pinazzo of all time, three masterpieces deserving of the highest praise. An album with an insane groove, incredibly inspired in its individual tracks and compositions, straddling blues and jazz. Not to mention the fabulous supergroup, probably at its peak: it’s no coincidence that some time later (2007), Pino reunited the band from this album for the new album of that era.
Overall rating 10

No. 4: "Bella 'Mbriana" (1982)
Everything has already been said about this album - and about everything else - so I won't dwell too much. For many, it’s the absolute peak; for others, it's the beginning of the end (!?!?!?); and for others, like me, it’s somewhere in the middle. A great record, of course, perfectly played: probably his most "international" album of the entire discography, it's definitely the one that musically soars the highest, but as far as I'm concerned, I find it slightly less inspired than the three previous masterpieces—just SLIGHTLY—though it still contains what I believe is one of his top 5 (maybe even top 3) greatest masterpieces.

4th: TRAVELS AND BAD WEATHER
When an artist realizes that at that moment they have written a beautiful handful of masterpieces, the first thing that comes to mind is to try to replicate the formula of those works, and by doing so, the final product will inevitably be decidedly inferior to the aforementioned masterpieces. Ivan, on the other hand, partially changed the formula, softening the guitar's role and focusing everything on refined ballads and well-constructed boogies. This is Travels and Bad Weather, an excellent album that diverges from its three predecessors: inside, we can find songs arranged and written masterfully like Siracusa, where we also encounter interesting changes in tempo, Isabella sul treno, an exhilarating story of a meeting on a train set to the rhythm of a frenzied boogie, and so on. There are also ballads worthy of the best Ivan, like Firenze, which is undoubtedly one of the most original lyrics ever written by Ivan, and Olanda, which, perhaps compared to Firenze, is less inspired but still carries a sense of transport. In all this, Ivan certainly hasn't thrown away his wild virtuosity, and here emerges the monumental Tutto questo cosa c'entra con il rock and roll and the wonderful Dada, a decidedly challenging piece that tackles many hot topics such as homosexuality and drug use among the youth. In this quartet of masterpieces, however, Radio Londra pops up with a not-too-inspired lyric but with remarkable arrangement, and Angelina, which adds little to the rest of the album in terms of both lyrics and arrangement. Despite these two small shortcomings, Travels and Bad Weather is an album that sounds wonderfully well-played to perfection. Perhaps the inspiration isn’t quite that of I lupi, and the arrangements have lost some of the hardness seen previously, yet it remains one of Ivan's best albums.

The gem:

The White Flies - The White Flies (Full Album) Nothing mind-blowing, but still a good hour spent. And you can always feel the battery.
 
Marranzano siculo sound - RITA

I have never listened to Fluidirosa, but this is definitely their best cover of all time.

You tell me the title because I don’t know it.
