That's 30 points coming Jethro Tull's way from you plus another 30 points from Mortte for the same album, so they're off to a storming lead in the poll already.

This is a tough one cuz this is probably my favorite sub-genre of Prog, but, here are my Top Ten FAVORITE Prog Folk Albums of All-Time: - 1. ALAN STIVELL Renaissance of the Celtic Harp (30 pts) - 2. FLAIRCK Gevecht met de Engel (20 pts) - 3. IONA Open Sky (15 pts) - 4. FAUN Eden (12 pts) - 5. PTARMIGAN Ptarmigan (10 pts) - 6. TIRILL Said the Sun to the Moon (6 pts) - 7. AALTO Ikaro (5 pts) - 8. SPIROGYRA St. Radigunds (4 pts) - 9. STRAWBS Ghosts (3 pts) - 10. (tie) CORDE OBLIQUE A Hail of Bitter Almonds (2 pts) - 10. MIDLAKE Antiphon (2 pts) Other Prog Folk album's I'd consider if PA had these Prog Folk albums filed under Prog Folk: MIKE OLDFIELD Hergest Ridge HARMONIUM Si l'on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison ANTHONY PHILLIPS The Geese and The Ghost SHAKTI Natural Elements IVAR BJORNSON & EINAR SELVIK Hugsjá MEDIÆVAL BÆBES Mirabilis CELESTE Celeste (Principe di giorno) MAXOPHONE Maxophone AL STEWART The Year of the Cat JONI MITCHELL Court and Spark |

A lot of their material is. But a lot can also be considered hard rock, maybe symphonic on A Passion Play. Regardless of genre labels, my favorites from them are TAAB, Songs From The Wood and Passion Play.

I've always thought of Jethro Tull as a Prog Folk band, but I'm surprised Harmonium are listed as Symphonic Prog on PA as I'd always considered them to be classic Prog Folk too.

Wait... PA counts harmonium as Symphonic prog? I mean, I guess but I thought they were textbook prog folk. Strange.
Anyways I haven’t heard enough to make a list, obviously the last two Harmonium albums top my list along with Comus’s debut with maybe some spyrogira in the mix. I’d throw a few Tull album but I don’t think all of them are prog folk necessarily. |

Here's your chance to help determine the Top 10 Prog Folk Albums of all time. Simply list your ten favourite Prog Folk albums by *ten different artists* in order of preference below and then I'll assign points to the albums as follows:- 1st album - 30 points 2nd album - 20 points 3rd album - 15 points 4th album - 12 points 5th album - 10 points 6th album - 6 points 7th album - 5 points 8th album - 4 points 9th album - 3 points 10th album - 2 points Remember, it's just one album per artist and these are albums that are categorized as Prog Folk by ProgArchives definition. Here's a handy link to the PA Top 100 Prog Folk albums:= http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=6&top=100Here's my Top 10 to get the Prog Folk ball rolling:- 1. THE GHOST - When You're Dead - One Second (30 points) 2. SPIROGYRA - Bells, Boots & Shambles (20 points) 3. FUCHSIA - Fuchsia (15 points) 4. RAMASES - Space Hymns (12 points) 5. DEAD CAN DANCE - Anastasis (10 points) 6. AGINCOURT - Fly Away (6 points) 7. ITHACA - A Game for All Who Know (5 points) 8. TUDOR LODGE - Tudor Lodge (4 points) 9. TRADER HORNE - Morning Way (3 points) 10. THE SALLYANGIE - Children of the Sun (2 points) I have a feeling one of Jethro Tull's albums might win this poll, but I could be wrong.
