An obscure French band that only released 1 album, Joxifixations (1982), Jox has been compared to GENTLE GIANT and GRYPHON, but also show influences from progressive masters like YES and their fair share of celtic folk rock pioneers like HORSLIPS and, closer to home, TRI YANN. They play an eclectic, mostly instrumental brand of progressive folk incorporating a debonair je ne sais quoi that only the French possess.

I think it gave rise to the genre of psychedelic or psych folk and had a major impact on the development of progressive rock.
