Anyone one on a major English folk/classic/progressive rock kick?

Anybody else out there hooked on Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, or the mighty Pentangle (and related)?

I can't get enough. Also, TONS of Renaissance, King Crimson, and Moody Blues. Snap me out of it!

 

I'd like to hear some more Tull stuff like the country trilogy.

 

I have several albums from Fairport, Steeleye Span and Pentangle but don't listen to them much. I do listen to lots of Crimson, Renaissance, and the Moody Blues. For the past several years I have been listening to lots of these guys...

 

Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, John & Beverley Martyn, June Tabor, Nick Drake.

 

While we're heading this way, could somebody give me a description on Lindisfarne's music. I've seen their name mentioned before but can't say I've heard anything from them....

 

Don't forget Davy Graham!

 

I've been on a major English folk/classical/progressive rock kick since the age of 13!

 

Thanks to Steven Wilson Yes totally, with Yes, Caravan, King Crimson, Nektar, Gentle Giant, ect.

Rock on the Canterbury Sound.

 

Yes. Pentangle is a recent discovery. I love what I've heard so far. I saw Fairport at the Bottom Line in NYC in the early 90's. Dave Pegg was very drunk and angry and he began singing Sea Shanties about the club owner's mother, much to the horror of his bandmates.

 

Pic have been on a major Pentangle with Jensch - Redbourne kick sine the summer. Great band.

 

I'm' pretty hooked on the new Wilson remix of Benefit.

 

Hmmm don't know them...will check it out!

 

You speak my language brother...

 

The new Wilson Close the the Edge package is over the top...simply sublime.

 

Yikes...wish I was there!

 

It was nice they had one last get together a few years back...before we lost BJ.

 

I was just listening to Pentangle's first album last weekend. What an excellent and well recorded album that is. I also enjoy solo John Renborn and Shelagh McDonald.

I like almost all UK folk music.

Check out "Trees"

Actually I'm glad you mentioned that....the Pentangle albums are really well recorded.

 

Another new discovery...thanks.

 

In fact if memory serves that was actually the second time I saw them there. The first time I was heading into Manhattan for a Diamanda Galas performance and got stuck on the Queensboro bridge for two hours and missed it so I met my friends at the Bottom Line for the later Fairport show. That might have been the first time I'd ever heard them.

 

Indeed. In fact recently I found both the UK Transatlantic and the US version. Someone here asked me about how they compare sonically. Haven't heard the US copy yet but the UK does sound wonderful.

 

Certainly, this was a period without key historical members, but cool none the less.

 

So when I checked it on amazon, it was cross referenced with Heron, Anne Briggs, Mr. Fox, Mellow Candle, Forest, and Trader Horne. Lots of homework to do,

 

Great song here. Oddly enough, it reminds me of Rodriguez, who was around at this time. Perhaps an influence one way or another.
