Well, I for one didn't really appreciate Steeleye that much until a few weeks ago.
Last year I had bought a double CD The Lark in the Morning which is all of the first 3 albums. I bought it mainly because I am a fan of Terry Woods. Until now I didn't much care for it. Dunno why, maybe it takes time. But you must give Steeleye credit for sticking to playing the traditional stuff with new instruments.
Fairport crossed over more readily into rock.
