Many years ago on this site I asked which members of the Beatles were the equivalent of which members of Monty Python. As you might expect, I got a full response, even unto the associated characters with each group.

Here’s a long overdue question of a similar nature. If it could be argued that Richard Thompson is the British Neil Young – great guitar sound, marmite voice, emerged from a famous band (Buffalo Springfield/Fairport Convention*), what do you think would be the equivalent songs in the Thompson canon to such Young classics as ‘Like A Hurricane’, After the Goldrush’, ‘F*!#in’ Up’, etc?

Any answers eagerly received. I might even start listening to the Vincent Black Lightning-riding, beret wearer.
