Gene Burton	What is Acoustic Rock? (149* d)	RE: What is Acoustic Rock?	20 Feb 08
"..oversentimentalised, self-indulgent, mawkish drivel." Oh, OK- sorry I misunderstood you. I quite agree. The main problem with the glut of sad songs by blokes with acoustic guitars in the charts today, I think, is the fact that most are totally unmemorable, unhummable and lyrically banal. Not the fact that they ARE sad songs by blokes etc., etc. per se. I still think if a songwriter uses melodies and /or instrumental styles which draw very heavily on traditional folk, there IS a case for the application of the "F" word, though. (just waiting for somebody to pipe up with "F Off"...)
