Thread Name: What makes it a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What makes it a Folk Song?
Hey! Hey!

THere is many a young band, and even 20s-30s age group band producing stunning original high-volume electric music with literate lyrics and great vgision and insight.

The trouble is that most of the music industry is so far up its own nose that it produces buys and sells the pap that musically reflects the endless obsession of the film business with franchises and remakes, and most of the lyrically dense music is obsessed with kiiling other niggaaaaz hos.

Heaven help us, Oasis have been lauded as intelligent. Post-punk is treated as having something still to say!

But the metal bands, the stoner bands producing soundscapes as fine as much early Floyd - totally ignored by the industry.

And probably a lot of other fine stuff ignored by the industry as well. Pink really can sing, but what about Atomic Kitten (better with the sound off I think).

There is plenty of fine modern rock music (and a lot that is rubbish too).
