Thread Name: 100 Essential Folk Songs (Folk Alley poll)
Subject: RE: 100 most Important Folk Songs

They're all pretty good songs, the argument is probably how many qualify as folk songs.

'Blue Moon of Kentucky' is surely one of the 100 greatest WALTZES ever written, I'm not sure that mentioning a borderline Southern state in the title makes it a folk song.

By the way, the tile of no. 4 is 'The Hammer Song'.
