Thread Name: What's your favourite Steeleye Span song?
Subject: RE: What's your favourite Steeleye Span song?
Steeleye were my no. 1 favourite band from about 1970 until they broke up in 1978. All my mates at school thought I was mad. I probably was. Never quite got back into them as much after they reformed in the 80's - thrill is gone, I suppose.

For me:

'Dark Eyed Sailor'
'All Things Are Quite Silent'
'Hills of Greenmore'
'Lowlands of Holland'
'The King'
'Lark In the Morning'
'Female Drummer'
'Cold, Haily, Windy Night'
'Lovely On The Water'
'Fisherman's Wife'
'When I Was On Horseback'
'Four Nights Drunk' and all the tune sets from 'Ten Man Mop'
'Rosebud In June'
'Sheepcrook'
'Royal Forester'
'King Henry'
'Saucy Sailor'
'Robbery With Violins' (the full, live version with 'Duffy the   Dancer' and 'Lucy Campbell'
'Weaver and the Factory Maid'
'Parcel Of Rogues'
'Drink Down The Moon'
'Thomas the Rhymer'
'Demon Lover'
'Cadgwith Anthem'
'Usher's Well'
'Dance With Me'
'Bachelor's Hall'
'Sir James The Rose'
'Fighting for Strangers'
'Awake, Awake'
'The Victory'
'The Wife of the Soldier'
'Galtee Farmer (live version with Martin Carthy)'
'Boar's Head Carol (anyone remember 'Jim'll Fix It?')'
'Some Rival'
'Maid And The Palmer'
'Bonnets So Blue'
'Montrose'
'Hunting the Wren''
'False Knight On The Road (Live)'

Well, that's my list but God knows, the last thing the world needs is another Steeleye compilation.

If I NEVER hear 'Gaudete' and 'All Around My Hat' again it will be a damn sight too soon.
