Nice one with the Italian primer! A little less Raw Power in the final playlist would have been cool to feature instead other representative bands (Impact, Declino, Eu's Arse... at least one song out of Impact - "Solo Odio" LP should have made the cut!). I also feel like Negazione's first LP and Indigesti - "Osservati..." LP are where those bands reached their peak, especially if compared to their somewhat chaotic beginnings. And it would have been cool to mention some more adjacent stuff like Nabat (for the Oi! contingent) and Nerorgasmo (the Italian Rudimentary Peni and in my opinion some of the very best punk music to come out of that country altogether) to give a more comprehensive view of the whole early 80s scene.
But hey, very cool all considered! Italian HC has mostly taken a backseat compared to Japan and Scandinavia when it comes to hardcore archaeology, and unfairly so in my opinion.
