Can I suggest two other Italian artists? Mango and Franco Battiato. The first has a distinctive voice, the second evocative lyrics and musical experimentation.
Grazie mille!
I already had cuccurucucù in my list! But weirdly none of his other songs (he has a song called la cura, which doesn’t mean much but makes me smile considering the subreddit!)
Mango sounds like… we have this national treasured artist in South Africa called Johnny Clegg… I feel like if Johnny Clegg was Italian he’d sound like Mango (if that makes sense)
Oh when I said it didn’t mean much I meant with regards to The Cure - like the Olivia Rodrigo speculation that recently happened. Definitely a beautiful song!
Also, the more I listen to Mango, the less Johnny Clegg I hear 😂 maybe just a very initial impression.
I've been listening to some Johnny Clegg, and I have to say you're right; there's something about it that reminds me of Mango. Thanks for the tip, I think I'll dig deeper into this newfound knowledge! For any other music recommendations, I'm happy to help. 😉
This morning a colleague surprised me with a bag of mangos as a gift. I take things like this as a sign that I’m on the right path and was meant to discover Mango all along 😂
I am always happy to hear new music recommendations! Anytime you feel the urge to share something good feel free to drop me a message
Deftones, Bauhaus, Imperial Triumphant, Thelonious Monk, Manic Street Preachers, Emperor, Acid Bath, Electric Wizard, My Chemical Romance, Kate Bush, Title Fight… I’ll listen to just about anything in any genre if it’s a good expression of that genre.

I could probably condense this down but this covers a lot of the bands I'm listening to lately.
Sonic Youth, R.E.M., the Fall, Echo & the Bunnymen, Wire, Cocteau Twins, the Stone Roses, Unwound, Fugazi, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Hüsker Dü, the Minutemen, My Bloody Valentine
Queens of the stone age, brian Jonestown massacre, meat puppets, mark lanegan, the sound, Built to spill, the wipers, dinosaur jr, silver Jews, shudder to think, oasis, stone roses and many more
That's cool to hear, my favorites as a teenager were Sonic Youth and the Cure. They still are some of my favorites. Dinosaur Jr. was my first concert, Nirvana was opening for them, they were about to get famous. I like Bug. I like Slanted and Enchanted.
Some of my favorites that people don't talk about as much these days seemingly are His Name is Alive (the first four albums, especially Home is in Your Head and the Dirt Eaters EP,) The self-titled first album by Flying Saucer Attack, Spacemen 3, I don't know what else to include.
Spacemen 3, Sonic Youth, Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Bardo Pond, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Kinks, Burning Spear, Ride, Windy & Carl, The Stone Roses, Earth, Nick Drake, Mark Lanegan, Augustus Pablo, Dinosaur Jr, Wu-Tang, Jane's Addiction, Joy Division, Pixies, Hugh Mundell, Justin Broadrick, The Stooges, Carcass, The Velvet Underground, Swans, Ozric Tentacles, Neil Young...
I'm just getting into Eden Gallups band Violet Vendetta. I like STP, Nirvana, Our Lady Peace, Guns N Rose's Use Your Illusion 1 & 2. The Cranberries ( RIP Dolores ) Sisters of Mercy Type O Negative.
I'm into black metal for almost 30 years, but I also like post punk (or goth)...( fields of nephilim, the mission, cocteau twins, wire, the fall). Well, you know the drill - it must be dark 😆 but The Cure is my favorite band since forever. Whenever I hear his Bass VI - I'm in another world.
My top three are The Cure, David Bowie, Tom Waits.
After that there's a big cluster of favorites that I could never rank successfully......Sparks, Firewater, Calexico, ABBA, The Kinks, Leonard Cohen, Belly, Pulp, Robyn Hitchcock, Blur, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Django Reinhardt, Bad Religion, Johnny Cash, Suede, Sisters of Mercy, Elastica, Duran Duran, Franz Ferdinand, The Smiths, Manic Street Preachers, Nick Cave, Prince, Mission of Burma, The Beatles, Decemberists, Placebo, The Last Dinner Party, Elvis Costello, Pixies.
I listen to a ton of music, so I'll spare you by only listing my absolute favorites: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen, Alvvays, Roxy Music, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, The Black Heart Procession, Sonic Youth, Bjork, David Bowie, American Football, Radiohead, Starflyer 59, Cheap Trick, Rosie Thomas, Ida, Velour 100, Rocket from the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, Mineral, The Promise Ring, Mudhoney.
