Yep. Banco and PFM were in a sense sort of like the Yes and Genesis of Italian prog. Celebration (E Festa) is definitely a song that qualifies.

Katzenjammer had me going WTF for a while, but they won me over. And I love the cover of "Land of Confusion."

There is only one line of melody - but this interview made me laugh and smile....

Here's another UH song that makes me "happy." There's a better sounding more recent youtube video of this but it doesn't have dancing early 70s women on it.
