 Topic: Your favourite Progressive Folk-Rock albums?Posted: December 15 2021 at 04:12 |

Allright, folks, how about some Folk-Rock albums. What do you say to that?
I guess, it might not be as quite so popular as Jazz-Rock, but let us see. So, there we go, with my own list unranked: Algarnas Trädgård (S) - ”Framtiden är ett svävande skepp… (1972) Carmen (UK/USA) - Fandangos in Space (1973) Comus (UK) - First Utterance (1971) Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho (BRA) - Paêbirú (1975) Lin Di & Cool Zone (China) - Ten Days In Magic Land (2003) Haizea (ESP) - Hontz Gaua (1980) Harmonium (CAN) - Les Cinq Saisons (1975) Hölderlin (D) - Hölderlins Traum (1972) Erkin Koray (TRK) - Elektronik Türkuler (1974) Los Jaivas (Chile) - Alturas de Machu Pichu (1981) Strawbs (UK) - Grave New World (1972) For those who are interested in many different Rock styles, I can recommend very much the book Rock Music Styles. A History by Katherine Charlton. And I hope you'll enjoy it!

I guess, I can conclude, Enigmatic, that this is one of the sub-genres you've been not so little interested in - I'm glad to see that.

Not necessarily my preferred music domain, but I was surprised to find some artists/bands that I like very much listed here on PA: - Flairck (I especially like their Live in Amsterdam album, combining the best of the two preceding studio albums!) - Dead Can Dance (Spleen & Ideal, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, The Serpent's Egg) - Alan Stivell (especially Terre des Vivants) ... A recent discovery: - Faun Fables - Born of the Sun And I'm only recently exploring what is called folktronica (so I'm not at all a connoisseur and I'm open for suggestions...): - Tunng (Turbines, Songs You Make at Night, Dead Club) - Rozi Plain (What a Boost!) ...

kenethlevine - That's a very impressive list of honorable mentions. I see few my favorites that I missed on my list. For instance, Of Wondrous Legends (O.W.L) and Pierrot Lunaire are really awesome and I listen to them very often.

oops, added Dave Cousins to mine. Indispensable wow some great non prog ones here, like Hank Dogs, Waterboys, and the great Gordon Lightfoot. For Hank Dogs, I would pick that album. For waterboys, I pick the delightful "Room to Roam" and for Lightfoot, it would either be the UA collection, "If you could read my mind" or "Summertime Dream"

Thanks! This is one of my favourite genres. With the "rock," designation, I made sure there was a useage of electric instruments. I had to pick that compilation for Gordon Lightfoot, as I think it's the only recording "Affair on 8th Avenue," is, which is my very favourite song of his. I toyed with putting Sandy Denny's "Sandy," in here, and maybe should have, as it's a favourite also.

I'm not going to do a list (bucket loads of fantastic stuff already mentioned) but i am going to bang the drum (again!!) for the remarkable Mr Fox who's two lps from 1970 and 1971 really created something special.
The lp 'Bright Phoebus' by Mike and Lal Waterson is something special too   |
