If Ranters are Quo then...

I carelessly refered to the High Level Ranters as the Status Quo of the Folk World, perhaps they are the Stones or perhaps more appropriately the Animals.

I enjoy folk much more than rock but rock has raw excitement and so do the Ranters. In the same spirit Is Ray Fisher Tina Turner? What does that make Matin Carthy?Is John Tamms Bruce Springstein? Is Ashley Hutchins and his Albions in some strange way related to Mark E Smith and the 47 people who have been through the Fall?

But it is about music in a kind of diagonal relationship

From: Big Al Whittle

if thats a diagonal relationship, I'm perpendicular - but only in the cubist sense.
And furthermore if Derek Brimstone is seen as a Sceaming Lord Sutch type figure, then surely Magic Lantern were more of a post David Bowie phenomenon...

No one would argue with that.....

John Kirkpatrick must be Jimmi Hendrix using this scale.........

and Ashley Hutchins is more of a David Bowie, every one knows he used to be avantgarde but now he's just chocolate fireguard...
