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

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.
