Great!

Steeleye Span now approved by the Admin Team for prog related.

Great!!

Its funny, what I thought was Parcel Of Rouges was in fact Commoners Crown mislabelled! And I downloaded it from a fully legitimate source www.mp3fiesta.com

BTW, Commoners Crown is very good!

I will write a bio and some reviews soon

Great ...

As soon as I have translated my German Steeleye Span reviews into English I'll set some reviews in the archives. Smile

All in all each man in all men

Just saw this!!!!!!!!!

The least was to ask the prog folk team their advice, even if it was for prog related..... but this was carefully avoided

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If you just saw that Steeleye Span has been added to the archives, how come you ahve already written reviews for most of their albums?

I just saw this thread that lead to the inclusion. I hadn't seen it before. That's what I meant

Antway it's over with!! They're in and that's it!!

My original idea was to leave them out completely out of the database as was for Fairport as well.

this was in order to make a real line between the groups that were indeed prog folk (as Pentangle with the torrid fusion of jazz, folk & blues) and those groups sticking with traditional folk or when, they got experimental, they electrified their trad folk, making it folk rock >> such as SS and FC.

But Fairport got added a bit ruthlessly against my wishes three years back, and now SS.... But i suppose that having FC in and SS not was inconsistant.

I'll just have to deal with it

Is just my opinion but I find that FC are more Prog of SS. In fact FC wrote personal songs that are particular fusion about Rock and Folk with other mix of genres (not in all songs). Vice versa SS... Simply use personal arrengements (in POP way) for new versions of traditionals.

SS and FC are great band... But in a certain sense... In this type of fusion I prefer (about PA's bands) Amazing Blondel!
