THROW DOWN YOUR SWORD (BUT NOT YOUR TOYS)

One of my favourite tracks from the utterly brilliant early 70's album ARGUS by the flying-V laden WISHBONE ASH. I discovered them in the mid-1970's during my 'Arthurian/Once and Future King' rock phase - Yes, Zep, Griffon, Camel. I was even in a band steeped in the stuff! Groovy man. Time was.

OK, you've converted me. I simply must listen to more by Wishbone Ash after hearing that track! That IS my kind of music ^_^

How on earth did I miss these before now?

Toadster, THE three Wishbone Ash albums to listen to are:
Argus, Wishbone Ash, Pilgrimage. If you like, New England as well.

Your music will never be the same.
