Equation - Kissing Crime

It's Seth Lakeman on fiddle, who's a rather well-renowned English fiddle player, where I'm concerned

Agnes Obel - Riverside
(May 27, 2011 - 17:01) | I heard this song come on and gasped in recognition. I checked and conclude I must bump it up to a 9 for its light folk vibe

New Model Army - Vagabonds
(May 25, 2011 - 09:07) | I know little of New Model Army, except that they are musical cousins of my favourite band, the Levellers...
Not surprised I like them!

Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud
(May 24, 2011 - 12:54) | I can't remember which one, but a Jethro Tull track was playing in a pub (Nice, old-fashioned place with proper timbers and snug little rooms) while on holiday with my dad. We asked the barman what the radio station was.
He told us all about Radio Paradise. Been listening ever since

Muse - Map of the Problematique

Because, looking at the ratings distribution, the "yaysayers" keep their traps shut and just listen. I mean, there's clearly more of them

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

Carbon Leaf - American Tale

"celtic"? I listen to an awful lot of modern "celtic" music and can hear no trace of the Celt in this one.
The misconception comes about because people are unable to comprehend the possibility that there can be folk music other than "celtic" (by which they mean irish)
Every country in Western Europe has its own folk tradition, related to the others one way or another.
This sort of bluegrass/folk-rock is influenced by the Scottish & English traditions, as well as of course, Irish.
English =/= Celtic

The Levellers - Too Real
(May 21, 2011 - 10:12) | mrandrew wrote: Sweet... but that voice... I cant place it but it is so clear! Richard Barone?
I think you're mistaken. 'Tis Mark Chadwick
EDIT: Although on inspection, he's not entirely dissimilar, but the Levellers' lead vocalist is Mark Chadwick. It would be quite odd for a band based in Brighton, England to include a singer from Florida

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Breakdown (Live)

Gotta love it. This song's only 2-3 minutes on the studio version. I'm glad that live they find loads of way to make it last and enjoyed longer

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Breakdown (Live)
(May 20, 2011 - 10:00) | You know, I was listening to this thinking "do I know this song? It's the one that goes doo-doo-doo-doo" Then it did this guitar thing and I convinced myself it WASN'T that song... And then it did the "doo-doo" and I nearly screamed "It's Breakdown!"
Awesome song

Tom Petty - Wildflowers
(May 20, 2011 - 04:19) | Beautiful, but I can't help hearing in my head "The Ballad of Robbie Jones" by The Levellers, if anyone knows it.
Probably the same chord used.
But I loved this song before Tom even started singing. Just amazing

It fades because the Wish You Were Here album has only the 5 tracks, and they all pretty much fade into eachother. This one fades out and then the first notes of Wish You Were Here start

Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

If you like metal, then you have probably heard of Opeth, of Sweden. Steven Wilson (lead singer of Porcupine Tree) has produced two of Opeth albums, played keyboards on one of their albums and is very good friends with the band. He also speaks highly of Katatonia and Orphaned Land, two very influential metal bands. Seen all these bands except Opeth (sigh) and they all are very good in concert.
Welcome to RP, land of musical expansion!!!
Metal and Progressive Rock are oddly connected. I suppose it's because of the experimentation and good musicianship. Both genres push boundaries and frankly show off

Shady Grove ripped off the English folk tune Matty Groves so all is well

Well he's also an amazing songwriter also. It'd be a shame to rob listeners of that. Persuasion, Farewell Farewell and Beeswing are some of the best songs I know.

I've never actually heard the original version of this song. More familiar with the live version, which I feel is quite a bit better

Sorry, RP. Stopped listening to you in order to listen to this song over and over on my pc.

Scottish? They're from Brighton, England.
They're folk/punk... It's just people think there is no English folk and automatically attribute it to Scotland or Ireland

Pink Floyd - Time

I love it when RP plays Pink Floyd. Great that it's fairly often too.
Amuses me how there are actually people who could give this a 1

It's frankly amazing and it apparently hasn't been played in years, which is a shame, since it's a perfect example of the awesomeness of Progressive Rock
Play please

A grievous lapse in judgment that is. Coming right up.

I just thought he was too... Folky.
And with the wide variety of music on here, I'm sure even with even Richard Thompson's repertoire he doesn't get played that often, relative in the scheme of things
