^^^It's so strange that I am coming across artists I haven't encountered till I came to this forum. I learn from others' posts or while searching for music on YouTube. Of course, I've been through a long stretch in my life in which I couldn't experiment musically due to financial reasons plus, I suppose, severe ill-health. I continued to purchase music by favorites but had to pass up checking out anything else. So, you really can learn something new every day=} I'm still amazed that I got through the Sixties and budding H.P. Lovecraft love without encountering the group named in his honor! I stumbled across them on YouTube, much to my delight.
As for reading "Jane Eyre", I did that in my early teens, didn't quite "get" it then reread it in college. *click* "Wuthering Heights" was the same experience. Some books might need the right time in our lives to connect with us.
Yeah, I keep coming back for much the same reason. I don't see much point in putting up "Satisfaction" or "The House of the Rising Sun" unless you can add some interesting bit about it as well. Something a little off the interstate is a better choice, I think. Anyway, I enjoy seeing what others choose in their turns, and also plotting to seize upcoming letters with choices of my own. But I kind of maybe still like Kurt Suzuki more than Pat Suzuki.

So Bob Dylan isn't really very "out there", but this song from 1963 is not one you'll hear too often on your local Classic Rock station, and I think it's interesting to see the reflections of it in Marianne Faithfull's 1966 album North Country Maid where she covers Scarborough Fair as well of course as in Simon & Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair/Canticle later that same year. All three of them it turns out were derived from the same arrangement of an old British ballad done by a guy named Martin Carthy who never got any credit for any of it until 2000 when Paul Simon pulled him up on stage to do a duet of it.
That's one that pops up at some reenactment events, as some artists select even "pop folk" songs, knowing that people attending might not know the difference. I'm very familiar with that one, but it doesn't show up often. He did a good job of copying ballad style.
