Pretty similar to other lists but I've been surprised that Frogmorton, Fairfield Parlour & Ronnie Laine haven't been mentioned. Ar Log are, essentially, the Welsh Fairport Convention & are well worth a listen if you're happy with non-English vocals.
Got to respectfully disagree with Reid. Jethro Tull have been many things & by '77 were folk rock.
It's not just you, Galactic Bulldozer, I've got all the Morris On albums as well. Great fun.
Tir Na Nog have had a mention or two. They're playing in my neck of the woods soon. Anybody seen them recently? Are they still any good?

How come they never did one called Morris On Hotel?Originally Posted by Galactic Bulldozer

No complaints, Mr. G, just my opinion. And I do fancy JT. But Pres De Paris is a wonderful 70s folk album regardless of the artist's national origin.
But talk about glasshouses, you complain about the inclusion of JT, then list a French artist.Really?
If you go down to Portobello Road you can get a bootleg of 'A Dirty Weekend at The Morris On Hotel' for a monkey.
They wouldn't have made my 20 anyway, but I didn't consider them, as I would classify that album as Rural Prog-Rock, not FolkRock, showing their Kaleidoscope antecedent.
I've got the first 2.
I have that one on CD. It's OK.

Rural prog rock? Excellent classification!
For me, Fairfield Parlour moved sufficiently far away from their Kaleidoscope sound to warrant inclusion on this thread. They're certainly one of the bands that, when I started getting bored with rock music in the late 80s, nudged me toward the folk scene which wasn't as full of chunky jumper wearing Kumbaya strummers as I'd imagined. I suppose they inhabit the same part of the Venn diagram as The Strawbs & late 70s Tull.
As an aside, I find in interesting that Prog magazine gives up a surprising amount of space to folk rock. I think it's great (and, in its early days at least, definitely progressive) but, given how narrow the opinions in the Outer Limits articles are, I'm not sure that too many other readers approve.
Just the first two. GoMO was weak so I gave it away. (or threw it out?)

So I suppose Alan Stivell's Renaissance of the Celtic Harp would also be a violation.

Not that easy anymore, since a few years ago after raids there and in Camden, traders are much more wary now of selling bootlegs.
Also, there are hardly any record shops left now in Portobello, Westbourne, Ladbroke Grove, under the Westway, Golborne.
Not to be corrective, but it's "Bullinamingvase" all one word.
As good a starting point as any I guess. I think "What Ever Happened to Jugula" with Jimmy Page is somehow his most "prog," but they're really all good and worth hearing. My first was "Work of Heart," which probably no one would call his best, but it's good and has David Gilmour as a guest, which was enough to interest me!
Their new album is EXCELLENT!
Just the first one.
Btw, I think 'Past, Present And Future' is a worth mentioning historical folk rock style album from him.
