Thread Name: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Subject: RE: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
I don't know about stupid, but I too liked the "inane hook line" remark. A good head-banger isn't an essay with footnotes. I'd nominate the instrumental "Where the fuck's my wallet" for the title alone, only having heard of it, can't remember who did it.

   I'm only part folkie, but the folk music I grew up with involved folks, folks hanging out, with style, playing music, and talking. The folks I remember were people as comfortable discussing Goerte as subtle refinments in making fish batter. I wouldn't immediately associate electrified communications forums with folk music, anyway, but to the extent I do, it's because this forum is broader, more free-wheeling--a stone-soup get-together internet forum where even the trolls are fun. I don't have folk credentials to say so, being a modest dabbler, but I think it all goes to folk music somehow. Let other styles sit in their seats and face forward. As someone said on another thread, folk is different.
