I love that Strawbs

You should definitely pick up:
- From the Witchwood - features Rick Wakeman and the amazing "Hangman and the Papist"
- Ghosts - brilliant title track and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint, either
- Bursting at the Seams - "Lay Down" is a classic
- Dragonfly - a transition album from their earlier, more pure folk, style

Also check out these album, when you get a chance:
- Strawbs - closer to traditional folk with glimmers of what was to come
- The Broken Hearted Bride - a recent release with a more modern sound but Dave Cousins voice is still one of the best out there
- A Taste of Strawbs - a brilliantly assembled box set featuring classics and deep cuts spanning the long history of the band

I was about to write nearly exactly the same!
