Use the 'youtube' button - far right on top of the editor.

Great. I remember a long time ago (it was in the previous indie rock thread I think) you asked for some new music and I advised you to listen to The Magnetic Fields and 69 Love Songs in particular. Stephen Merritt is a genius. Do you know Spiritualized ? If not I suggest "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space".

Many of you already know Richard Thompson who started out in a brilliant group called Fairport Convention. Get anything you can from them.
For you Led Zeppelin heads this clip shows Robert Plant with Fairport Convention live doing Zep's Battle of Evermore. This hints at the threads of music history Jimmy Page pulled together when he married Celtic music and American Blues to hard rock.

Before being a solo performer, Richard Thompson played with his wife Linda Thompson. If you got one Richard & Linda Thompson album, then Shoot Out the Lights is a can't miss. Brilliant.
A similar band to Fairport Convention was the great band Pentangle. I grew up on their records and they wrote amazing songs. They have a good sized discography and are a legendary band too. Two of the members, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn went on to long solo careers known for their acoustic guitar work. Their lead singer Jacqui is one of the great female singers.

More unknown and really great English folk-rock bands you really should track down (they are on CD and can be heard on radio streams) are:
Amazing Blondel
Trees

Fotheringay
Fotheringay was formed by Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention. She is widely considered to be one of the finest female singers ever. You can also find solo work under her name.
