    Which of it do you like?

    Sound like Skandi Fairport Convention to me. Folk Rock as we used to
    call it..taking traditional scales/melodies and bringing them up to date.

    See also the Corrs, Clannad, The Strawbs, and many many more.

    This lot are a bit interesting.

    Could not login. Was password protected. But both Babs and Lindfors are
    very classic!

    At that time it was more of modernized folk music. Had no idea about the
    other stuff!
