1	All Around My Hat (1975) more music like this by Steeleye Span The biggest selling of all Steeleye Span albums is also their hardest rocking record. They sound like would-be competitors to the Who on the opening bars of "The Wife of Usher's Well," with Bob Johnson's electric guitar grinding out power chords like nobody's business. The vocals have their usual elegance, the harmonies soaring exquisitely, but ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
2	Below the Salt (1972) more music like this by Steeleye Span The most successful of all Steeleye Span lineups, with Bob Johnson and Rick Kemp in place of Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchings, makes its debut on what could be their best album. There's not a weak note here, and all of its has a harder, more muscular sound courtesy of Kemp and Johnson, matched to impeccable vocals and uniformly excellent ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
3	Parcel of Rogues (1973) more music like this by Steeleye Span Parcel of Rogues is the group's first real rock album, featuring a sound clearly rooted in modern sensibilities, with the guitars turned up very loud for the first time. The singing is still modeled on traditional patterns, and is quite beautiful (especially "One Misty Moisty Morning" and "Allison Gross"), but the resonances and undertones of ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.65!
4	Now We Are Six (1974) more music like this by Steeleye Span With Nigel Pegrum added permanently as drummer, the group rocks out for the first time, and from the thumping tom-toms and snare on the opening track, "Thomas the Rhymer," and Bob Johnson's power chords, it's clear that this is a record with balls. Actually, Now We Are Six is still a folk-rock album, albeit with a beat. This was the first Steeleye ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $15.65!
5	Please to See the King (1971) more music like this by Steeleye Span The debut of Steeleye Span (Mark II), with Peter Knight on fiddle and Martin Carthy on guitar, is more solid in almost every area from repertory to production. The group still had its feet in both modern and traditional sounds simultaneously, so Please to See the King mixes very beautiful, distinctly archaic sounding songs such as "Boys of Bedlam" ... see all copies from $12.33! new only from $25.55!
6	Holding Up Half the Sky: Voices of Celtic Women (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.00! new only from $15.98!
7	Best of Steeleye Span [EMI] (1992) more music like this by Steeleye Span see all copies from $16.44! new only from $16.44!
8	Ten Man Mop (1971) more music like this by Steeleye Span The third Steeleye Span album, Ten Man Mop opens with possibly the most beautifully sung number of their entire history, "Gower Wassail," which also makes a very strong case for the use of electric guitars in a traditional folk setting. "Paddy Clancy's Jig/Four Nights Drunk" was the group's first great electric adaptation of traditional dance, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.00!
9	Hark! The Village Wait (1970) more music like this by Steeleye Span Originally released by British RCA, this debut album by Steeleye Span's original lineup -- Ashley Hutchings (bass), Tim Hart (electric guitar, electric dulcimer, banjo, harmonium, vocals), Maddy Prior (vocals, banjo), Terry Woods (mandola, mandolin, electric guitar, vocals), and Gay Woods (vocals, concertina, bodhran) -- barely made it out the ... see all copies from $14.91! new only from $15.98!
10	The Lark in the Morning: The Early Years (2003) more music like this by Steeleye Span Lark in the Morning: The Early Years is a mid-priced, two-disc rendering of the band's first three records. Remastered for the first time, Hark! the Village Wait, Please to See the King, and Ten Man Mop are featured in their entirety, and in their original sequence, making this an absolute necessity for fans, and a perfect entry point for the ... see all copies from $17.41! new only from $17.41!
11 view cover	Winter (2004) more music like this by Steeleye Span see all copies from $13.90! new only from $13.90!
12 view cover	Portfolio (1988) more music like this by Steeleye Span Flawed though Shanachie's Steeleye Span catalog is, it's hard to pick fault with Portfolio. A gathering of 16 tracks spanning the band's entire career so far, it features liner notes from former member Tim Hart and culls at least one song apiece from each of the band's studio albums -- the exceptions to this are two each from All Around My Hat and ... see all copies from $5.29! new only from $16.21!
13 view cover	Rocket Cottage (1976) more music like this by Steeleye Span The second of Steeleye Span's Mike Batt-produced albums was released at a time (1976) when the acceptance of British folk-rock was on a rapid downhill slide. That was unfortunate because Rocket Cottage remains one of the strongest yet most unappreciated of Steeleye's catalog. Their knack for adapting English folk songs to rock & roll has never ... see all copies from $9.99!
14 view cover	Horkstow Grange (1999) more music like this by Steeleye Span Still exploring the vein of English folk song from a rock aesthetic, this war horse of a band delivers a pleasant collection of traditional tunes (with only one original, "The Old Turf Fire"). While much of the edge has worn off their approach, becoming comically puckish on "The Tricks of London Town," there are several fine tunes here. Of ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $12.97!
15 view cover	Time (1996) more music like this by Steeleye Span Another set of solid British folk-rock from these longtime vets is loaded with soaring group harmonies, rather ambient textures, and an authentic feel and musicianship that marks all of their best work. Though these tracks don't necessarily pack the punch of the work of earlier Steeleye Span lineups, there is hardly a bad song here. The set might ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $15.65!
16 view cover	Tempted and Tried (1989) more music like this by Steeleye Span Steeleye Span's 13th studio album is a welcome departure from its limp predecessor, 1986's forgettable Back in Line. Gone is the murky production and abject delivery that marred the group's early-'80s output, replaced here on Tempted and Tried by a bright, confident set of original and traditional material. Opening with the jaunty yet gory ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
17 view cover	The Journey (2001) more music like this by Steeleye Span While Fairport Convention was busy transforming the art of reuniting former lineups into a way of life, Steeleye Span, fellow giants of the British folk-rock scene, tended to steer away from their old pals' act, preferring to continue plowing their unique furrow with as little nostalgic fanfare as possible. The one exception to this rule occurred ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $32.76!
18 view cover	Tonight's the Night, Live! (1992) more music like this by Steeleye Span Steeleye Span's live album, Tonight's the Night, Live!, recorded on their 1991 tour, is a surprisingly fulfilling work, covering new territory ("Ca the Ewes") and songs familiar from other hands ("Tam Lin," long a Fairport Convention standard), as well as a rousing version of "All Around My Hat" that is superior to the studio original. It's well ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $12.00!
19 view cover	They Called Her Babylon (2004) more music like this by Steeleye Span They Called Her Babylon marks the return of longtime vocalist Maddy Prior to the fold, resulting in Steeleye Span's most cohesive offering since 1989's Tempted and Tried. No offense to the talented Gay Woods, but Steeleye Span is like a ghost ship without Prior at the wheel, and the newly minted five piece have finally regained the confidence and ... see all copies from $12.97! new only from $12.97!
20 view cover	Stroll Through the Park (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.30! new only from $3.30!
21 view cover	Individually & Collectively (1972) more music like this by Steeleye Span Individually & Collectively features material from Please to See the King and Ten Man Mop, as well as selections from Tim Hart and Maddy Prior's excellent Summer Solstice and Folk Songs of Olde England albums. The real sell is the inclusion of "General Taylor," a previously unreleased track from the band's golden era. For those interested in ... see all copies from $30.00!
22 view cover	Back in Line (1986) more music like this by Steeleye Span Released in 1986, this marks the second of Steeleye Span's four comebacks (1980's Sails of Silver being their first). Since the mid-'80s weren't particularly sympathetic to re-formed classic bands yet, this was a surprising move for Steeleye Span. New alternative acts like the Pogues and the Men They Couldn't Hang were introducing a new generation ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
23 view cover	Troubadours of British Folk, Vol. 1: Unearthing the Tradition (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's Troubadours of British Folk series, encompassing three volumes, four decades, 49 songs, and almost as many performers, is a model genre retrospective. For those who want a representative collection of the style's highlights, it covers virtually all of the major performers and innovators of British folk, represented by their best-known (and ... see all copies from $49.30!
24 view cover	Troubadours of British Folk, Vol. 2: Folk into Rock (1995) more music like this by Various Artists All of the cuts on this volume hail from what is commonly considered the golden age of British folk-rock, 1969-75. Virtually all of the major players, including Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Roy Harper, Ralph McTell, Steeleye Span, and Richard Thompson, are represented by some of their most famous tracks. Not as renowned, but of near-equal ... see all copies from $20.82!
25 view cover	The Best Christmas Album in the World Ever [1999] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.74! new only from $20.43!
