Post White Album and Abbey Road, that showed there was an sizable paying audience for music that ventured beyond a standard formate of song compisition, but equally enjoyed a good back beat. University life, pub life and tv/radio all contributed to people willing to listen to something more complicted. So the music business responded by loaning a load of jean clad hippies to openly experiment with music, fashion, culture and life style.<br /><br />This list reflects such experimentation. But how interesting that those voting in 2013 lean to the more conservative side and stick with the big names. Of course, as always with such a small poll it is foolish to conclude a trend with such little data. And probably like me, some of this stuff I haven't heard (for me, I've not heard Mainhorse, Fly or Bell and Arc). Although of all Henry's recent polls this is a poll where I heard and even own the majority of the music here. The mid table here and albums a regularly listen to and enjoy, from Strawbs down to Colin Scott. I highly recommend Colin Scott being given a listen to if you haven't, From the Witchwood has a classic and unique sound, and Madman Across the Water is the better side of Elton, IMO.<br /><br />SteveStevenoreply@blogger.com
