But I like Corvus Corax even better.   I listened to Faun for the first time tonight after BrufordFreak mentioned them earlier in this thread. I like them too, even though they sing in their native German language.

I don't see why singing in german should be a problem. I actually usually like when bands sing in their own native language (even if I don't understand the lyrics)... it makes them more interesting to me, and I feel they keep some closer identity to themselves (particularly with the italian bands). So how about Corvus Corax? you might just as well check them out too. The one I have (and love) from them is Gimlie, but there should be some more classic albums from them.

Although they went from prog-folk to new wave in 1977; their evolution to me was as captivating as The Beatles transformation...probably a stretch there, but to me they were the "ant's pants".   Don't worry, I'll be sure to include Horslips in my next Folk-related poll, as well as including many of the other great bands mentioned in this thread.   Jethro Tull are the clear winners in this poll, as expected, so I'll deliberately exclude them from the next poll to give the other Folk-related bands a chance of winning.

Couldn't Focus actually fit? They do have some very folky moments, though in other songs they don't really have much of it in them (but so is the case with Jethro Tull).
