Wishbone Ash – Argus (1972)
Widely regarded as their best album, this is the album in which they finally found themselves. After struggling with making something that sounded original in their two previous albums, they came up with this; Argus – a unique blending of all the different styles of music they had tried out earlier – a rather folk-ish prog rock album with lyrics touching on, not so uncommonly, medieval themes. But what I think makes this album so good is definitely the instrumentation. The dual lead guitar just works so well! I do also believe Argus was one of the first albums with such an extensive use of twin-lead guitar. So yeah, if you haven’t heard this album yet, I suggest you do your homework for once!
