I am not drawn to folk music. I don't know much about it so maybe if i knew more about it, i would appreciate it more. Or maybe afer knowing more, i would come to the conclusion that its not my cup of tea after all, just as i thought before I knew much about it.
I am not sufficiently interested in folk music to go and make a big research but i thought those of you who love it might be interested in bringing others around to your persuasion. So here's your chance. Tell me what's so good about folk music in such a way that i feel like i've learnt something about it.
If in your opinion there varieties of folk music, i expect you would talk about the type of folk music you love and not get bogged down in side issues.
Please tell me something about folk music that you think I (and others who know nil about it) should know in order to appreciate it as good music/music that i should be interested in as a person who has good taste in music.
It would help me if you could please list three of your favourite folk songs. Or just list the songs and don't bother with the questions above but instead if you prefer, you could say why these songs are so worthy of your appreciation.
It occurs to me that the way some of you feel about pop music is the same as I feel about folk music. Maybe its just a lack of knowledge/awareness of the good stuff so I thought I might as well give it a chance but only if any of you could be bothered to help educate me. I'd be happy to do the same for any of you re pop music in a thread dedicated to pop music if you wanted. It's in that vein that I ask.
