I forgot about Fairport Convention. I only know of them because of their Jethro Tull connection (Dave Pegg) but apparently they're a fantastic folk band.
Pentangle were quite popular as well years ago, although I personally think they're fucking shite.

That's good stuff, but definitely "folk-rock."

Let's try to keep our folk pure here, okay, Judas Dylan??

One of my favourite bands, especially albums with Sandy Denny

The Pentangle album I had/have (dont even know if I still have it) isn't folk-rock. It's folk-shit.
Are Fairport quite rocky then? I'll have to check them out. Something similar to Songs From The Wood-era Jethro Tull would be right up my back passage.

 

[Procella]

Yes, FC is quite rocky. Check out their album "Liege & Lief", especially their version of "Tam Lin"!

 

[Dee Snarl]

Check out Richard Thompson's (ex-FC guitarist and founding member) stuff with then-wife Linda.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight is supposed to be quite good; I only know Shoot Out The Lights, which is awesome.


Fairport Convention is conventionally understood to have invented British "folk-rock."

Maybe, but Dave Pegg always said that Tull did it so much better, which kinda put me off FC.

I wouldn't peg Tull as "folk-rock" per se.

I can hear the folk influence, but I thought they were more on their own trip....

Yeah I agree, but Songs From the Wood and Heavy Horses are pretty folky. They been all sorts over the years, impossible to pigeon hole.

 

[Dee Snarl]

Yeah, including "hard rock/heavy metal" in '88.

Not sure if Lars would agree with that.

How come Finntroll and Ensiferum hasn't been mentioned yet? They're great.
