What’s your favorite? I’m interested on what’s everyone’s choices will be. I think I know why so much of the community is focused on English songs (or maybe I just haven’t explored that much Dx), but there’s a lot of great songs out there outside of the English language bubble thing (yeah, I don’t know how to describe it), and I’m really interested in listening to them.
This is gonna be a really big list for me. I’ll restrain myself

Edoardo Bennato - Una settimana un giorno (and he always had a killer band along; pity they faded it out during the guitar solo)
And this one is just fun - OK, it’s synth bass, but, hey, it was the 80s
