Default Fairport Convention

any thoughts on the band that perhaps invented folk-rock? were they better with or without sandy denny? i think richard thompson was one hell of a talent.

Good evening i unzipped my skin
thankfully unscrewed my head
exactly as i always do when i prepare myself for bed
and while i slept this co-co came as naked as could be
he put on the skin and screwed on the head
that once belonged to me

This is quite possibly the worst name for a band ever, I hate these type of intangible names, similar to division of laura lee.

I can't put my finger on it, it just makes me angry.

I bought a Fairport Convention album after a recommendation from someone at the time I was sort of involved with, but haven't listened to it properly yet

I also bought a Richard Thompson album 'Action Packed', and had a few tracks from the 'You? Me? Us?' album sent to me, and although I can enjoy his music a lot of the time, it leaves me feeling quite bitter and resentful (not sure why exactly), and I think too much about what he is singing, so I've stayed away from it lately.
