Just want to mention Nick Drake - he's not that well known, but things are gradually improving.<br><br><br><br>
Nick was born in 1948, and died from what was most likely a ancidental overdose of anti-depressants in 1974, aged 26.<br><br><br><br>
He released only 3 albums - Five Leaves Left in 1969, Bryter Layter in 1970, and finally Pink Moon in 1972.<br><br><br><br>
He was unsucessful in his own lifetime, but now 28 years later is being recognised as a hugely influential artist.<br><br><br><br>
His music is acoustic based, ranging from stark to lush string arrangements. If you've never heard of him, or put it off until now, beg, borrow or download now. It might take a few listens to get into his style and delivery, but you won't regret it.
