Does this count?



Some of Biota's more song-oriented stuff might be fitting as well.

^ Haha! Only in one sense, because you are admirably loyal to your enthusiasms, but for me Cygnet Committee was a complete surprise. I haven´t heard it for years and didn´t think of Bowie as a prog folk Singer; good call, P_S !

^ Of course, Grindy - I´m no genre-nazi! If you´re interested,here are a couple of opinions about this album:- http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...-thompson.html

What is your own verdict on it?

That Biota track has a strange atmosphere. Thanks.

My turn to be predicatable, by choosing something by those one-time darlings of progfolk, Gryphon. This is from their 2009 re-union tour; a faultless recreation of a track from their 1973 self-titled debute album:-

Glad to see it got some recognition here.
I really like it. I'm not a folk fan, but it's weird melodies really make it stand out. His singing being somewhat askew also adds to my enjoyment. Really prefer something like that to more standard vocal styles, which I often find cheesy.


I suppose this is kinda folky, although it's a little too electric at times.

Probably more Prog and Pop than Folk in this song. Still one of my favorite songs I found this year.
