Speaking of loved non-proggers, I think I'm going catch Robyn Hitchcock next week, and I noticed on his website he recently played a song called "I Saw Nick Drake"

Thanks for reminding me Rick. My twice yearly razz on Jim to include Nick on the Moon is just about due.

Just joshing Jim.

It's basically a benevolent dictatorship..

Dictators usually are brought down in a bloody way..........VIVA LA REVOLUTION !

Wow... I'd never have thought you would said that the strawbs is not prog, man...

There's a a "edit" option on your messages you always can change it if you all don't want to be ridiculous

Yes, much as I detest labelling music, I think prog folk fits with the Strawbs.

Others I think fit the genre off the top of my head: Maneige, Harmonium, Ptarmigan, Pentangle, Fairport Convention as mentioned, Renaissance, John Martyn, Clannad, Nick Drake, Lindisfarne, Steeleye Span..

Wikipedia doesn't do that bad a job of defining the undefinable. Anyway, love this genre of music, whatever it is.

Wikipedia has made an entire site revolving around Defining the Undefinable.

Roger -Dot- Lee, just my opinion, natch. Now where's my slide rule....

Wait, didn't we try this, like, a few months ago and fail miserably?
