Favourite Artists Track 537 - The Incredible String Band - nominated by Spacepig, Voting

[Spacepig]

So this week we get to explore the wacky world of Scottish psychedelic folkies The Incredible String Band. I appear to have always had a couple of their albums in my collection. They get a spin now and then and then get put back again for another few years. Except, a few months ago, they just clicked. I went off to research what else they had done, and now I have 17 albums on various formats, and a live DVD. Still got a few to go.

There are about 8 billion solo and related releases, but they have at least 12 studio albums and countless live ones to pick from so let's stick with releases only under the ISB name. Don't listen to the purists who say there is nothing after the first four albums worth noting, every album is wonderful in its own way.

As ever, noms in by 10 pm Sunday evening, leave a link, and come back to vote next week if you can.

Happy happy happy all the time ;-)

All done then, 8 voters for the 9 noms, good going.

We have a clear winner this week. On 10 points, SussexWelsh takes the gold with Dreams Of No Return. BrassNeck and Spacepig tie on 7 points with Talking Of The End and White Bird, so the silver gets shared. TheDuke picks up a bronze with Bridge Song finishing on 6 points.

Glad to see, no wooden spoons this week.

I thought that was a wonderful playlist and every song could have been a winner. Thanks again to everyone who took part.
