hiu

To be honest that's not a very good starter kit or list at all. I'll be nice and add a few for you.

Phil Ochs - Power And The Glory
Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Woody Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land

I like this band. Probably because they took alot of their sound from Wire.

riseagainstrocks

Melodic Death Metal
1. At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
2. In Flames - The Jester Race
3. Carcass - Heartwork
4. Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer
5. Amon Amarth - The Crusher
6. Arsis - A Celibration Of Guilt

8. Death - The Sound Of Perserverance
9. Kalmah - Swampsong
10. In Flames - Subterranean

I said extreme since speed is considered a genre or somthing. Ill fix the title.

littleknowitall

im reeeeally not very good at this, selecting out particular songs to define a genre but i thought i'd give reggae a go. if i **** this up one of you better salvage it good.

misty in roots - how long jah
bob marley - iron lion zion
black uhuru - sponji reggae
justin hinds and the dominoes - carry go bring home
king tubby - king of king in dub
john browns body - jah works
black uhuru - every dreadlocks
garnett silk - 21
cornell campbell - they cant get me out
prince far i - right way.

You're going to start people who don't listen to folk with Woody Guthrie? If the production doesn't put them off, then his voice will. Look my list was created so that people who were into vastly diffrent music could have an easy time getting in. I didn't create it so you could dive headlong into the snobbery conversations, and furthermore, I put Bruce's version of the song on there because they get the general idea without having to get by superficial hold-ups.

In this regard, I think my list is very good. Next time maybe more Ashlee Simpson.

And bungalo, yeah im pretty sure he covered it. But covers aren't off the mark here, I mean as i've already said, Springsteen is covering Guthrie. its less aout artists and more about the actual music.

Ashlee Simpson isn't a folk artist TheBig3KilledMyRainDog.

TheBig3

well it depends what vocal track shes lip-syching to, but would you say with my original intention it was a good list?

Yes, it's pretty good. Maybe the addition of some bands like Against Me or similar bands in that folk punk vein.

TheBig3

Well right, I'd love to have added more. But alas, the world has only so long to live.
