May I "third" the sentiments of Stewart and Ronald? Luckily, when I was hunting down the supposedly great works of this band many years ago, I stumbled across Heron's Smiling Men with Bad Reputations album, featuring not only the aforementioned members of the Who and Cale but the Fairport crowd ("Flowers of the Forest," with Richard Thompson, is my "worth the price of admission" cut), before finding a rare, vinyl copy of an Incredible String Band album. UNluckily, my liking of the Heron album led me to an eventual ISB purchase. It's so bad in all the ways Stewart described that I can't even enjoy it for humorous purposes, and believe me, I derive great pleasure from my collection of hippy-dippy '60s albums.
