**Frownland** · 07-27-2016, 06:00 PM

Batlord, you should just copy my votes and make them more official.

JGuy Grungeman · 07-27-2016, 06:01 PM

Who over said this would be the official decision of a real big 4? It's a game.

JGuy Grungeman · 07-27-2016, 06:05 PM

Uhhh... games have rules, dude. That's how people win them.

Hey, wait a minute. I checked that site, RYM, for Freak Folk, came across a boat load of names I never heard in my life, and at the very last page it had John Fahey as the last entry, but it didn't have any bars or whatever that means. But then again on the RYM site it has John Fahey as "Avant-Folk" & Donavan as "Psychedelic Folk." In all honesty I really don't want those artist classified as Freak Folk. But it ain't right my list gets ignored cause I deliberately pick good artists. I bet if I picked the Mumford Band you would be all over that ****.

Freak folk is a genre of folk music which uses mainly acoustic instrumentation, but introduces elements of avant-garde music and psychedelic folk, often featuring uncommon sounds, lyrical themes, and vocal styles.Wikipedea: Freak Folk

I got the feeling you were flying blind on this round, check out this article, and don't be surprised if you see some names that were on my list being name-dropped.

A: I won't turst CakeIsCollegeRock.com with genres.
B: Why do you think you know my musical tastes? I know next to nothing about Mumford.
C: You've been questioning freak folk's credibility as a genre for a while, so I don't understand why you'd lecture me on it.
D: The fact is you voted for bands that mostly didn't fit the description, and I gavenyou several websites to look for recs from back when this round started five days ago. You had plenty of time to listen to the albums and find out what freak folk sounds like, especially considering that many famous artists have partook in the style.

Ha, there is no "CakeIsCollegeRock.com." website. I googled it.

Ha, "Mumford" is a movie that came out in 1999. I can make the same claim as well cause I didn't see it either.

My ultimate goal in life is to lecture people on things I don't know about. I'm your protégé. Please don't ruin my dreams.

Oh yeah, wanna know something? Charles Manson is on that RYM Freak Folk list. You don't trust CakeIsCollegeRock.com and I am now afraid of RYM Freak Folk list, so I guess we are even.

JGuy Grungeman · 07-27-2016, 07:27 PM

I'd rather trust RYM, a website made of hardcore music fans who use democracy to decide their tags, than a website that anyone can edit.

Also, you still don't know what freak folk is. Why would you tell me whether Manson's freak folk or not?

Cause he's on the list, man. He's on RYM's Freak Folk list.

JGuy Grungeman · 07-27-2016, 07:42 PM

You used the fact that he's on the list to contradict my statement on Wikipedia?

OK, I have a very busy week and I really don't want to discuss this any further. You can vote for four bands that fit the bill, or not. You have until Friday to vote. On that RYM list, you know where to start.

Why do y'all make it compacted FOLK - and every thing under its umbrella

JAZZ- and everything under its umbrella

Lol
