Tim Buckley

I think this is as close to "most influential" and furthest from "personal favourite" that I can get. I didn't include Richard Dawson (the best freak folk artist) since his influence probably only extends to here, so I'm proud of myself for that.

A pretty awesome one as well. I highly suggest Nico as a start o n the assumption you like experimental music. I'm still getting familiar with who likes what.

I don't think I'll vote this round. I don't listen to this genre nor do I have any intention getting acquainted with it. I've been so busy that I can't take the time.

  1. Rick James
  2. Rick James
  3. Rick James
  4. Rick James

Is there something about you and illegal votes?

You might want to look up places that have a good description. I'm still not too familiar with how to "describe" 8t it, but as far as I'm aware, it's a special kind of experimental folk.

Oh, yeah. A while back, you and I agreed I could call you "Litan..."

???

Also, not meant to be a vote, but you should make it so people who know little about the genre can vote for less than four so they can vote for the ones they know.
