S/D: Richard Thompson

Ooof it would be tough. Some 17 or so solo albums ...

Maybe instead of “vote for your favourites”, it should be “rank all the albums you’ve heard”.

I’d be more stoked about the campaigning than the countdown tbh. I need a guide to the last 20 years.

Kind of lost track after You, Me, Us?

The Old Kit Bag has some excellent stuff on it though a bit front-loaded - I still come back to "One Door Opens." A lot of people love Mock Tudor but I remember it being spotty, it may just have been the switch back to more stripped-down production.

I prefer Semi-Detached Mock Tudor for those songs

Old Kit Bag has this one, which I think is one of the prettiest songs he's ever written:

Youtube threw this at me yesterday, a Richard & Linda TV concert from '81

I've been listening to Daring Adventures a lot. I stan for "Nearly in Love," written seemingly to get a hit.

I think he's playing a solo acoustic living room show right now ...

Dunno if that works, but his facebook page!

He's a class act, that guy.

This is a pretty funny stream.

He's always been funny whenever I've seen him in concert.

Good stuff. Reminded me a bit of when I saw him solo at New Orleans jazz fest

Robyn Hitchcock has been doing the same. He warns that his connection is slow though and to expect glitches lol

Is this the same set as posted above? Seems ten minutes shorter.

1952 Vincent Black Lightning has too much braggadocio for my liking

lol

Fair comment, i think.

I don't know how anyone could possibly claim that there is an ounce of braggadocio in this song, so I'm going to write it off as a prime example of ILX challops.

Can someone please recommend me some folk music without all that braggadocio?

Also, a salad without any radicchio?

classical sonatas without any arpeggio

Early Disney features without all that Pinocchio.

Pere Ubu without "30 Seconds Over Tokyo.'

Bohemian rhapsody without the Galileo

Belafonte without "Day-O"

If you want your folk music more violent, try "The Cruel Mother"

She took her penknife, keen and sharp
Oh, the rose and the linsie-o
She has stucked it to their hearts
Down by the greenwood sidie-o

A sandwich without carpaccio

Shakespeare without the First Folio

Janeane without Garafalo.

Cellist Ma without the Yo-Yo

Karate without the dojo

Folk music without the hey nonny no.

Naughty By Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray" without the "ho!!"

Harry Belafonte without "Day O."

Top Chef without Tom Colicchio

Star Wars without C-3PO

"12 Inches of" without the "Snow."

Doug E. Fresh without "The Show."

Margaret without the Cho.

Jeff Bridges without Beau.

(Josh, sorry but it looks like Simon beat you to it)

This thread is becoming... an imbroglio.

Hamilton without "Rochambeau."

"Orinoco" without the "Flow."

(these could be stupid Beastie Boys lyrics)

Stupid Beastie boys lyrics without "And I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh"

Beastie's "Slow and Low" without the tempo.

Si Tu Dois Partir without the need to go
