I didn't really comment on Nick Drake because I've only have heard snippets of him, mostly Pink Moon to be honest. I do know he had absolutely zero recognition when he was out in the early seventies. He didn't become known until decades after his death. I first heard his music in a Volkswagen commercial in the late nineties and it was about that time people started hearing about him. Would he have been popular today in the fractured genre culture we live in today? Maybe, perhaps in the folk field.
It's just a shame he couldn't get the recognition when he was alive.
