How is Music Chosen?

I don't really like Strawbs that much either....I don't get how they are here and Fairport Convention isn't! And yes, I have seen The Strawbs before. Aren't they "folk"????? Just like Fairport?

But I digress.....I love the variety of non-prog and prog-art-rock that is here. Make this place quite interesting..

The cool thing about the Strawbs is they took that English folk background and moved into a progressive direction. There are some great tunes on Hero and Heroine and Ghosts. They then wrestled with some pop tendencies due to some personnel changes. This is when they went into a tailspin. Dave Cousins is a great lyricist and has a very distinctive voice. Some time ago I requested something from Blue Angel and thought is sounded horrible. So, in summary, I'm glad there is a lot of room under the AM tent!
