Talk:The Incredible String Band

message: If they're THE Incredible String Band and not "the Incredible String Band" and you eejits understand so little grammar to know what an "article" is, then why isn't the acronym "TISB"? Get a clue. You've infected enough of the world already. Be gone.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.255.61.7 (talk • contribs) 10:03, 6 July 2011

message: "In 1994 Rose Simpson, a former member of the band, became Lady Mayoress of Aberystwyth.[citation needed]"
Is there any reason this is still here? Even if there was a source cited, it would still have nothing to do with the band's musical legacy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.70.70.27 (talk) 14:23, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  About the Legacy  

message: " Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin said his group found their way by playing Hangman's and following the instructions. " - instructions? What is being referred to here?  I have a lot of material on ISB and Led Zeppelin, and both Page and Plant have stated the ISB's influence on them (among many others), but this quote/statement needs some more detail.  It reads as if the group got their vision from Hangman's, which of course is not true. My copy of that album - purchased in 1970 - is thick, heavy vinyl and pasted cardboard so it's a first pressing - and it didn't come with any "instructions." ??

replies: text: Ok, this comes from the ISB 1997 documentary "Retying the Knot," and listening to Mark Ellen in context, I understand now what the members of Zep meant.  Like, cosmic, man!  :-)  Anyway, at least we have a cite, now. HammerFilmFan (talk) 04:23, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Robert Plant quote

message: The article says that the two albums following '5000 Spirits' were the ISB's 'most celebrated'.  From my very distant memory of the time, when I was a teenager, I'm not sure about that.  I thought 5000 Spirits was the undisputed masterpiece, while the next two were controversial, with many people finding them self-indulgent and relatively tuneless.  I must give them another listen.86.183.206.188 (talk) 10:04, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: My memories are that 5000 Spirits and Hangman's were seen at the time as their masterpieces - preferences between them varied, though I'd vote for Hangman's - and Wee Tam and the Big Huge was seen as somewhat indulgent - though I've seen at least one review more recently that sees WT&BH as their masterpiece.  But, we need to go with what reliable sources say.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:58, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
