I suppose I could start one up since no one is willing to (even though I am already running the Indie/Alternative one). I need to make a new thread, however, so I can have the original post's spot to edit and have as a schedule-setter.

Basically, the point of an album club is to discover more music and/or be able to intelligently discuss/analyze/listen to it. Also, what do you mean what makes something folk? It's a bit of a broad term to be honest... Folk has many sub-genres and can be found in different forms across the globe. It can be anywhere from the Hungarian composer, Béla Bartók, to the Scottish guitarist/songwriter, Bert Jansch. (I suppose it's a bit difficult to define). Also, a few sub-genres of folk include: folk rock, psych folk, freak folk, avant-folk, neofolk, progressive folk, folktronica, apocalyptic folk, etc. I'm not entirely sure, however, if you could consider folk-metal and folk-punk to be folk sub-genres or just sub-genres of metal and punk... If this didn't help, then there is a Wikipedia article on it (which can be found here) and a debate about it on this site here. |
