I don't know, maybe you've dealt with this before, sorry if that's the case.

^ yes, you admins always get the credit! Smile How about suggesting Fairport for prog folk as that seems more doable than adding Sandy or Thompson as prog related. At least Fairport are already listed here.

the PF team just isn't very active at the moment, but we were kind of in the middle of deciding whether to promote Fairport, demote a bunch of other acts, or do nothing, and were waiting for a third member to break the tie, that being two lukewarms for Fairport in PF.  You know, being in PF isn't everything.  But I can tell you there is little chance Sandy would be in anything other than prog related, if that.  And if Fairport is bumped up, then so probably would be Fotheringay.  So sorry I can't give any definite yes or no at this point

^ Au contraire mon ami, what if the Strawbs or Tull were destined to live out their lives in prog related. Sacre blue, it's the same thing with Fairport. There is no respect shown for their prog prowess if not placed in PF.

Well, that went over like a lead balloon. LOL Perhaps when the prog folk team is active again. Whatever that means.
 
Sacre blue.

Sans être un de mes groupes préférés quoique solidement ancré dans les traditions et le folklore (Planxty résonne un peu plus à mes oreilles), ce Liege and Lief est définitivement sur ma liste des 25 meilleurs albums tout genre confondu.

Yes, but Dylan never made a song like this.

Not ignoring you or anything.   Just this darn work getting in the way!

Martin, as-tu entendu Moving Hearts?  C'etait une autre supergroupe forme par Christy Moore apres Planxty.  Merveilleux

Dylan, did, however write original lyrics that were epic stories (Highway 61 Revisited song and LP included)...and he did turn the acoustic folk world on it's ear at Newport.

FP didn't write the lyrics to Matty Groves...but they sure did a wonderful rendition of it and changed the way it had been done forever.

You can see the lineage for both with the long ballad format...interesting discussion this has been.

For the time that it came in, YES, it is progressive. There was nothing like it around at the time.

Same thing for Highway 61.

However, when listening to it, with TODAY'S ears, nothing is anything that we think it should be because its fires and importance has gone out. You may think of it all as crap, but the insults and quantity of stuff that Bob put up with when he started using an electric guitar in the sacred folk churches, was downright abusive ... and guess what is remembered today? None of the idiots that complained about an electric guitar.

I really, would like to see some of us, look at these albums with different eyes and ears ... the album is VERY progressive, considering how un-conventional at least 3 or 4 of the songs were, which would make it more than half the album. But, since we do not seem to appreciate the talent and differences of the time and place, now we rate it as cheap crap and some gawd-awful designation that is not even close as to what the music, AND the BAND, were about.

We, really need to improve on that folks ... please re-evaluate your thoughts on some of these albums. Gawd, at least someone is not listing Stravinsky as psychedelic anymore!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

One has to be deaf to deny the importance of Dylan's work during the mid 60's on the evolution of rock music but I am not a music historian and I surely won't go into a progressive vs. prog discussion.

Two great, highly enjoyable records. That is what matters.

Pas encore, Ken Assez peu familier avec le matériel solo des membres de Planxty a part quelques Christy en concert et la collaboration Sinead/Donal sur l'excellent Sean-nos nua. Je vais y jeter un oeil lors d'une future commande. Merci.

(new Planxty release 2018 - One night in Bremen 79) Cheers!
