Ok, I know this may not be "pop", but just like the whole revelation that was Ian Matthews, for me,
so too are the Strawbs.
I have found on vinyl and or elsewhere the following albums that have opened my eyes to the genius that is David Cousins:
Hero and Heroine - My favorite so far. Some of this is Rawk, and some sort of folk-pop?, but all very progressive,
full of hooks, great harmonies and guitar playing.
Grave New World - Great progressive songs- second best on my short list. I also hear some early Yes and Deep Purple in the mix as the distorted B-3 pops up alot for this disc.
Ghosts - Beautiful and quirky...fans of the Mellotron hook up! Tons of it here.
Bursting at The Seams - Outstanding. The 2nd record I'd heard. I thought it was a live album from the cover, but again, just good progressive rock a la early Genesis/Jethro Tull and a bit of Procol Harem.
Burning For You - Nope, no BOC, but maybe Jethro Tull...minus the flute. Great Rock album...especially the cover.
I have Nomadness, Strawbs and Sandy Denny(really looking forward to hearing this),
and Deadlines to listen to yet and still on the prowl for the first album.
Perhaps you could suggest something else, hummm?
later, joe
