My buddy just turned me on to Sweet. I've heard these songs before, but never knew who sang them.

Having a bit of a 'Yes' morning. All early stuff, with the latest played being 'Close to the Edge'

To me the early Yes stuff was their best work.

It all became rather unforgettable after Tales from Topographic Oceans which itself was only good in parts.

Dunno about Sweet but "fox on the run" was done by Manfred Mann in the late '60s . . . (As well as the bluegrass "Country Gentlemen"!) but it isn't the same song at all! How annoying that they have the same title.

Wow, totally different. The only similarity is that they harmonize, I guess.

As a huge Cocteau Twins fan I've recently latched on to Ashen Ringlets, who as well as lovely originals have also produced some great CT covers.


Also a big fan of Mint Julep who create songs in a similar dreamy style to CT
