SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

Haven't heard anything by them.

I've like Pentangle.

The guitar playing is amazing.  Bert Jansch and John Renbourn are fantastic.  Danny Thompson is great on double bass and Jacqui McShee is a great vocalist.

I've not heard a whole album though.

Plus I love the jazzy bits they put in songs such as Sally Go Round the Roses.

Dude, they're a folk band.  Most folk bands back then covered old songs.

I think this one is better, but I have to hear the debut again to confirm that.  Definitely a band that needs a lot more plays.

But is the album prog? (I think I answered that in my review)

Bees that fly around, pollinate flowers, and make honey are OK to stay around my place.

Bees that eat my house have to go.

They may well be making honey and pollinating flowers as well though.

Now ants and wasps, I don't care what you do with them.

I don't give a damn, you attack my house, you die. 

Apologies Pat, I'm just a pacifist when it comes to things like that.  Unless it's ants or wasps. 

Raff, I've just read the post you're referring to.  I think Fernando is just frustrated (and rightly so) for having so many of his recommendations ignored (if that is indeed the case).  It's happened to me before as well.

I think calling him a piece of manure is a tad strong though but I do understand your frustration as well.  You have worked hard for P.A. and people seem to not agree with many of your additions.  If you had added less popular bands, I doubt many people would even notice.

I have added a band I am not not sure about but because very few have heard them but I have yet to hear anyone mention that they don't think they're suitable.

Or maybe they are prog and I am just confused about my own addition now because my ears are more used to strangers sounds.

And I am not against any of your additions either, I have to say that.

Yes - I don't think things are as dire as he says, although we're not 100% perfect....maybe he's just unlucky, I don't know.
