Dionysis Savvopoulos for Prog folk/RIO/earlyPsych?

I have been thinking about this for a long time and think this Greek artist should be on the website. His 70's discography is essentially progressive rock but cannot decide exactly where he should fit, Zappa and Tull have been his biggest influences if I recall well. Captain Beefheart also can be heard around here.

acoustic 1966 (first album, quite different) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucu9z6s9KJc
second album, folkier, early psych - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZzbsKUYdkE

but it's mainly his 70's stuff that qualify IMO

Many thanks for this suggestion!

By the way, will check what happened with this:

psarros wrote: Being a Greek myself too I strongly support at least a right treatment for this great musician.His early 70's album, especially ''Ballos'' and ''Vromiko psomi'', released in 1971 and 1972 are very good examples of dramatic Psych/Prog/Folk with even some great long tracks. I should say Prog Folk or Psychedelic Prog should be the closest comparisons to his style.Take notice guys, his music and singing is pretty impressive at moments.

I'm familiar with his work and definitely agree that the albums ''Ballos'' and ''Vromiko psomi'' have enough prog credentials to merit consideration, though his later work more falls in the realm of folk-influenced rock. I would like to add that that many Greek artists of the period were influenced by the acid folk movement, and Bob Dylan in particular, and Savvopoulos is no exception. I would like to see him here in recognition of his earlier work in whatever category he may fall. for me, the second videoclip, Mavri Thalassa shows him at his best.

sounds a bit odd for Kraut team, Folk or Psych sounds closer... but anyway

It was certainly passed through Prog Folk (May 2010), and they decided to pass on him...Bob (ClemofNazareth) liked the idea of having Avant consider him though. Philippe's comment in the Kraut theam thead just recently (early Feb 2013) was in a similar vein - ie that he thought that RIO would be better, but that he was fine with the addition of Dionysis Savvopoulos in krautrock too. Seems that we are just waiting on this actually being done now.  

I personally would be delighted to see Dionysis Savvopoulos here, in recognition of his earlier and highly influential work, though I agree that categorizing it isn't easy.

Perfect! :D
