GUEST,Spleen Cringe 'Traditional' folk/rock - meaningless? (84* d) RE: 'Traditional' folk/rock - meaningless? 22 Sep 14


You talk good sense, Mr Punkfolkrocker. I don't feel as if I'm missing much when I listen to, say, psychedelic funk from 70s Nigeria and they're not singing a word of English....

Meanwhile, I like that folk-rock is so much a broader church than the UK variety would have you think. Whether it's the scorching Creedence-inspired desert rock of Tinarawen, the droning Finnish psych-folk sounds of Kiila, the classic 60s tropicalia of Os Mutantes (convince me Bat Macumba isn't folk rock!) or the 60s-inspired Byrdsian jangle of the Young Sinclairs, it's all folk-rock. I'm too lazy to put up the links, but if you have a few idle moments, look 'em up in Youtube!
