i like both of those, but I can't stand Sheath and Knife. Not over keen on Tam Lin.

having said all that, it really does depend on who is singing it. wouldn't you agree? sometimes someone can open up a song for you. Tim laycock when he was with Magic lantern opened up Long Lankin for me. And recently Brian Peters version of The House Carpenter made me like a song that i had detested for decades.
