Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
I don't know about Sringsinger's list, is he sure that the songs he lists are maintained outside of a particular generation of folkies? Perhaps they are in the US I wouldn't know, but I haven't heard half of them either in or outside folkie circles here in the UK. And I'd certainly never heard of "this land is your land" before joining Mudcat. I'm not even sure if I've ever heard anyone play it since then in fact.

As per below I was raised hearing Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles played on acoustic guitars from "Fifty Greatest Rock Songs" compendiums.
