I'd support this being nominated for "Good Article" status. Megamanic 06:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't be accepted - it has no references and is much too short. - Alex valavanis 10:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

History Section needs to be condensed.
The History section needs to be condensed. It isn't the purpose of an encyclopedia article to debunk claims. Instead, it can cite references that state the claims and their debunking in other sources. This is a violation of WP:NPOV. -- J. Wong (talk) 21:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Genres
Does anyone really think this album van be characterised as folk rock or electric folk? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Folk rock, yes. --Ef80 (talk) 15:01, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Career significance
The critical appraisal seems dominated by American perspectives, with the implication that this album rescued RT from obscurity. RT had a dedicated fanbase in Britain from his Fairport Convention days, and I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight was widely regarded as a masterpiece. It's true that he then went a bit mad for a while with the Islamic thing, but the Sunnyvista and Pour Down Like Silver albums were still quite well received by fans. SOTL was received as just another Thompson album in Britain, albeit a good one. --Ef80 (talk) 15:01, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that Q chart is currently really the only UK source mentioned? Here's one from sputnik, but again US-based. Likewise Stylus Magazine. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:12, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Rumble
How is it that there's no mention of how much this song sounds like Link Wray and the Wraymen's Rumble? It's blatant. 108.27.229.29 (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If you have a WP:RS expert source that makes this comparison, by all means add it. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
