1.0 out of 5 stars Italian Favorites ? Maybe not for an Italian, May 30, 2002

Well I own this album and can safely say I played it once and then put them away with a couple of other never to be played again cd's.

I did not realize at first that these were cheesy imitations of the real thing. If you want Italian compilations put a little more money in and buy the original artists and songs.

I would like to know what criteria is used to determine what songs are included on these "All the best from.." titles. As far as I'm concerned most of these songs don't even qualify for "good"! Most songs have folk or rock n roll rhythms with Italian words. Even the so called classics (O Sole Mio, Volare) leave a lot to be desired. Minimal use of accordions and mandolins but lots of guitar and piano.

A much better choice is "La Musica from Italy"

a good start on world music, but I have to ask what the heck was on the Italy disc. I'm getting ready to major in Italian in college and was hoping to have some "theme" music for studying. Imagine my surprise when all but about 4 songs are horribly-made 80's imitations! I imagine this is an insult for people of Italian heritage, and it certainly is an earache for the rest of us! There is only about 4 (1 one of the new songs are semi-ok) songs I care for off the whole thing, and I just wasted 12 dollars of my weekly pay! They should have a warning on the label!
