Rumore - 100 essential records + 100 bonus of Italian post-punk & new wave (Italy, 2023)

[Pierre]

https://rateyourmusic.com/list/algarock ... -italiani/

Rumore is an Italian music publication.

Rumore's lists are an anarchic mix of LPs, EPs & singles. In the list as I post it below, the entries are LPs unless otherwise noted, and it's noted a lot.

The first 100 records are the main list, ranked. The 100 bonus entries are unranked and in alphabetic order of the act's name.
The list in the magazine featured a recommended song for every record, but the RYMer did not post these.
