Folk rock is awesome when done right, but it does seem like a lot of current bands are using the same obligatory formula, no matter the situation.

for sure, and i'm not really that close minded, i was just poking fun at the earlier generalization. although personally, folk music has just never done it for me, and i've heard plenty through various sources over the years. i can respect and appreciate the talent involved and it's not that i want to dislike it, it just doesn't do it for me. but that's why there are other styles out there and why music is such a fundamental social / cultural element straight across the globe.
