The Final Verdict: Rock Mostly Dead; U2 Struggles On
In the sixties--Rock's heyday--some bands such as the Beatles and the Who wrote and played both kinds of music. Other variations, such as Soul and R&B, and the Folk Rock of Bob Dylan, also developed. But during the seventies,
Crispian St. Peters - You Were On My Mind 1965
Peters, and a new folk-rock sound. His first two singles, an uptempo, harmonium-driven ballad called "At This Moment," and the loud, retro-sounding love song "No No No," failed to attract any attention from the public or the press.
Prog Music Lounge : Symphonic Progressive Rock Appreciation Thread
This is a tasteful album that blends symphonic prog, folk and classical in a pleasant way. My rating: 3,5 stars. I hope you like it. Later I will review the Banco 1980 DVD and the Delirium Live CD
In shops tomorrow: 12/3
Folk-rock's almost supergroup Pentangle have been heavily re-evaluated since earnest young fingerpickers re-emerged a few years ago, although we're guessing casual fans might want to start elsewhere given The Time Has Come is a 4 CD set

Given the explosion of the alternative rock scene in France in the 1980's however, Hadji-Lazaro would soon begin moving in a different musical direction altogether. Leaving folk music behind, he went on to experiment with a more
BUSH, KATE - Never For Ever 1980 [rated 3/5 by akin]
Kate Bush always made a blend of folk, rock, jazz, pop and some classical influences, but never made anything complex as symphonic prog, for example, but her music can be agreeable for those who like something less complex and more pop
Rock & Roll Feature: Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
Bringing it All Back Home was Dylan's first real foray into electric roots rock and there was a considerable backlash with a flurry of boos from concert venues and negative press from his folk music following that would grow musica+folk+rock: musica+folk+rock
