March 24, 200916 yr Nick Drake is excellent. I haven't heard too much of his stuff, but I have heard Pink Moon and it is fabulous. I love Been Smoking Too Long as well.

March 24, 200916 yr somehow he passed me by..... i either heard him and disliked him or i just have no concept of his work at all... and tbh im not bothered! Agreed. To be honest I have never heard of him, and I don't think I will bother now after listening to the vids above :unsure:
March 29, 200916 yr A great artist who died too young. I first heard of him in the early '90s. My favourite songs of his "One Of These Things First", "Road" and "Northern Sky". His sister was in Crossroads by the way!
