YggsVinr, do you know the group Garolou from the 70's and 80s? It's a bit hard to define the exact style...... folk / rock / progrock.

Nope, I haven't. I just looked them up, but it seems on youtube I could only find covers of their songs rather than the band themselves performing. I listened to two songs that I found: La danse de la limonade and Belle Hirondelle. The first was quite decent, but I found the latter inserted too much of what I don't really like in many folk/rock bands, which is to say the infusion of prog's jazzy or "ethnic" elements. La Bottine Souriante add jazzy elements in some of their later music as well and I think its a real shame. That's why I enjoy bands like Le Vent du Nord (another French Canadian folk band) who really stay in keeping with French Canadian folk tradition.

I'll try to find some more songs from this band, though, as, like I said, the first song sounded promising.

I had a look, you're right. There's nothing original I could find on youtube. This site has a few of their tracks.

Not sure if it's really your taste but check out "Germaine"

Just gave it a listen, I really like the intro to Germaine (they should have kept that up!) but after that around 0:46 in it kind of ruined it for me. I liked the vocal interlude around 5:22 or so but then it proceeds as before. The solo around 4:30 was pretty cool as well I must admit. Overall the rest of the song is too progressive for my tastes, though. Thanks for bringing them up though

"Greek" music

Bono and his sanctimonious s*** really get on my nerves - `We've got to raise money for the poor in Africa, and do something to prevent global warming.`

Well, if you're so righteous, why is it that you had your favourite hat flown in by private jet?`

UB40, bunch of whiggers!
