With 12 people everyone gets 10 nominations and 8 people get 11. Just go ahead and do your 10 for now and if one more person pops in and says they want to join they can have the remaining eight nominations. If no one does then we will figure that out later.
I'm not starting this until Sunday (possible Sat.) but I want everyone to get their nominations in and everything ironed out before this weekend so we don't get off to a late start.
If your wondering if a song is Folk or not, these links will help you:
List of Folk Singers (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_folk_musicians)
Article on Folk Music (http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~haydent/folk/folk.html)
Or you can look it up on Wiki or ask in this thread for our opinion.
You can post your nominations when your ready. :) Try to have them in by Friday.

Right, I'm a little hazy on what exactly constitutes folk music, so I'm more or less going strictly by what Wikipedia tells me is. Let me know if you have any objections to these.
Andrew Bird - Oh No (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z2vsAoQ5esQ)
Bob Dylan - Song to Woody (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rrxUQjOHB6E)
Bon Iver - Skinny Love (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ssdgFoHLwnk)
Cat Stevens - Father and Son (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vdMPuMeTxzY)
Donovan - Catch the Wind (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ir6LAaQNPE)
Nickel Creek - Reasons Why (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0-IClR_N-oA)
Sarah Jarosz - Ring Them Bells (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t1DE9kOjtN0)
Sara Watkins - You & Me (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8a1z99OZByo)
Dave Van Ronk - Green, Green Rocky Road (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq-BS_FfMZc)
Punch Brothers - No Concern of Yours (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmmn87GMkG4)
Oscar Isaac - The Death of Queen Jane (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvYRbv5hEs)
Cricket's list is really Rock/Pop or Folk Rock as is a few of gbgoodies' but I think that's going to be par for the course. Once you electrify or have more than 3 or 4 chords to a song you start moving away from what's considered Folk IMHO.

That's why I posted my list before taking the time to find the links. I looked at a whole bunch of lists of folk music, and picked the songs that I like from those lists, so all of my songs came from folk music lists online. But I want to make sure that they're okayed here as well.
Once I know that all the songs are okayed, I'll add the links.

I'm not too familiar with Folk music, so I looked up some songs on some folk web sites. Are these songs okay?
If yes, I'll add the links ASAP.
City of New Orleans - Steve Goodman
Puff The Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul and Mary
Teach Your Children - Crosby, Stills Nash & Young
Can The Circle Be Unbroken - Carter Family
Turn, Turn, Turn - The Byrds (Pete Seeger)
Alice’s Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
Where Have All The Flowers Gone - The Kingston Trio
Blowin’ in the Wind - Bob Dylan
Mr. Bojangles - Jerry Jeff Walker
Most of those are really folksy, so cool. The only one I was iffy on was Mr. BoJangles, but I looked it up and it's classified as folk. Plus the more I think about it the more folksy it becomes to me. Plus I love that song. So yeah, you're good.

It's quite alright; there's another 3 songs that I can only find live versions to, and I don't want to do that, so I'll just find a couple more.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropkick_Murphys It said Folk rock and the original song was written by Woody guthrie a Folk Singer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_Shipping_Up_to_Boston so I guess it's eligible
It's written by a folk singer and preformed by a band that sometimes preforms folkish type music but that particular song isn't listed as folk.
Everybody knows that song. What is everyone else's opinion about it? It's pretty hard to be folk to me but I'll take everyone's else's opinion into consideration.
Oh wait, we get ten noms! I'm stupid.

I've nominated an indie folk song (my cowboy junkies one) I want to have a lot of different type of folk so I'm fine with it.
I'm happy I did this tournament. I think just about everyone has nominated a song I really love.
What is everyone else's opinion about it? It's pretty hard to be folk to me but I'll take everyone's else's opinion into consideration.
It's got folk instruments in it, has an Irish folk quality but it's also performed more as Punk. Punk Folk I'd call it.

I'm really hoping to get that 13th person to take eight nominations. That will take away the risk of running into a tie every round.
I'm finishing my noms tomorrow. I'm off to bed.

I really didn't recognize anything, though. I recognized a lot of stuff people had already nominated, but by then it was too late to nominate it myself. I'm not much of a music person, despite the several Song Tournament wins I've had.

09-11-14, 03:41 PM
here's mine.
Amália Rodrigues Fado Português (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YriVM8sC7M)
example of Portuguese Fado music - tradtionally melancholic haunting songs of loss, sung by one of the most famous singers
Great Voices of Bulgaria Womens Choir - Pilentze Pee (http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5v3piS-mScI)
I heard these women on tv a while back and their voices stopped me in my tracks. I think it's beautiful, not sure what you'll think but gonna give it a chance!
The next two are songs from my home town Liverpool, sung by the sailors a lot in pubs. You always used to get them sung at closing time :)
The Spinners - the Leaving of Liverpool (http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tGGAS9lKbLI)
The Spinners - Maggie May (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wc4GITm7PfY)
The Dubliners and the Pogues - Irish Rover (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=au30c9ZMIPg)
Thought I'd put up this live version where you can actually see Shane MacGowan standing up looking relatively normal!
Rapalje - Raggle Taggle Gipsy (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uOoaNi4xvv0)
this one's a real multinational one - a Scottish song sung by a Dutch Celtic band.
Billy Bragg and Kirsty McColl - New England (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-v4a6NaU5Rg)
Billy Bragg wrote this, but I like this version with the much missed Kirsty McColl singing with him.
Suo Gan - Charlotte Church (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-F9hKsw-KI)
Traditional Welsh lullaby sung by the young Charlotte Church
The Strawbs - Part of the Union (http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KdOCWUgwiWs)
very reminiscent of the 70s folk rock sound
Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger - Sweet Thames Flow Softly (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zmn5pOxb2iM)
Ewan McColl is the dad of the above Kirsty
I've added a sea shanty
Johnny Collins - Leave Her Johnny (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVQwzv5Qfc)
Anyone need a song? Here's a good one and it's even live.

09-11-14, 09:46 PM
That's a good pick then:up:
I think Folk Rock can be a fuzzy area and a host of music that can't be defined by other genres gets thrown into it. It's also not really Folk. It's like how Hard Rock, Prog Rock, etc. isn't Rock and Roll. They share a name because because one branched out from another but they're separate genres.

I know what you're saying VFN, but I don't know that there's much to do about it. A lot of people who grew up listening to Elvis didn't think The Stones were Rock 'N' Roll. Music just evolves. New country doesn't sound anything like old country either. I don't have a clue personally how to classify it; that's why I looked up all my songs.
of course I did ! it's listed as Irish Folks
I know Van Morrison is Irish but I can't see Moondance being described as Irish Folk. I may be wrong but I see it as a fusion of Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Pop, Folk and more I suppose but it's not Folk or Irish Folk.

Yeah, I understand. I'm not sure how Folk is even really defined though a lot of what's been submitted is really in the overarching Rock/Popular category.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondance
Yeah, the album Moondance may have Irish Folk influences or a song/s that can be deemed Irish Folk in some fashion, but the song Moondance is not Irish Folk. At least. not that i can see. I think Christine said she knows Irish Folk so maybe she can chime in.

09-12-14, 12:10 AM
No, Moondance isn't Irish folk; it's not even close but it sounds close enough to the 70's type of folk.
There are songs that are probably just the other side of folk being nominated but as long as there not so far off as to be ridiculous, I'm not going to be that hard about it.
I would rather a few iffy songs get in than to suck the fun out of this by nitpicking. As long as the majority is really folksy, I'm happy.
This is Godoggo's tournament. Let her decide. If she wants anyone's opinion she'll ask for it.

So I guess we are just waiting for R.P to nominate his, JJ to add his links and me to finish mine which were almost done but apparently I screwed up and lost most of my nominations.
It doesn't look like we are getting another player, so I need three people to volunteer to only get ten noms. sexy already said he didn't want eleven so I'm counting him.
Theo already accidentally nominated 11 and this is his first tournament so I'll let him go with 11.

Tom Waits is definitely considered a folk artist, Swan...among other things, but "folk" is listed on his wikipedia page.

I've listened to all the songs once now, but a couple of them I need to listen to because I can't make up my mind.
I actually liked the Charlotte Church song too, watched some more of hers, she's good. But, she was against Tom Waits, and well, it's Tom Waits.

You didn't like the Islaja song, Vicky? I'm shocked. ;)
Wow. So many good songs. Felt like I just listened to a jam-packed amazing album. A shame I have to make choices.
1. I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You -- Really like this song. Suo Gan was a bit too operatic and not my tongue.
2. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Really liked this too.
3. I Often Dream of Trains -Unfair fight here ultimately as Trains has vastly better production. A shame.
4. Mr.Tambourine Man - Grudgingly as it removes some great verses from the original.
5. White Winter Hymnal - A dreamy, hypnotic atmosphere.
6. City of New Orleans- A classic, neatly written.
7. I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore - The Monkees song was co-written by Carole King btw.
8. Amazing Grace - What is it about this song that resonates so strongly? A version with music may've won this thing.
Thanks for all the great music. Too bad some will not move on.

I don't think she has a good voice (at least not in this song), I felt it was weak lyrically and just generally hard to listen to. Seemed to me that it was experimental and different just for the sake of being different and weird. The entire song and accompanying video was just...uncomfortable. Maybe that's intentional though, I don't know. Maybe I'm just not "hip" anymore haha

Maybe it's a country music vs. folk music thing, because I didn't really like that song either.

I don't consider myself hip at all, I just like the music that I do. Also, I don't think that song/video is a great representation of most of her music. I bought all her albums today and, most of her older stuff is very folky.

good songs all round. Hard choices some of them
1. Suo Gan - Charlotte Church vs Tom Waits- I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You
Looks like Tom doesn't need my help so I'll have to vote for my own song. I'm not a huge fan of the operatic quality but the lullaby is just beautiful. Did you remember it was the song the young Christian Bale sang in Empire of the Sun? Maybe I should've used that version! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yyf059psVew
I'm a big fan of Tom Waits tho so I'm happy with him going through

I avoid looking at who nominated what, and I try not to look at who voted for what until after I vote because I don't want it to subconsciously affect my voting.
And for this tournament, I can't even remember what I nominated. I had to look back at my list when someone, (I think it was Swan), asked who nominated a John Denver song yesterday.

That is definitely reminiscent of her typical stuff. S U U, her recent album featuring Skeleton Walk, is her only English album. Since she is not a native English speaker, that's probably why her voice sounds strange on it.

Youtube Blowin' In the WInd is not Bob Dylan. I don't know who he is, but he's an imitator and several commentors knew it as well.

1. Phil Ochs - I Ain’t Marching Anymore (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gv1KEF8Uw2k) Nothing like a good ol' protest song
2. Donovan - Colors (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GX3AnhefltM) Tough call but I really love this song and I feel like it's an underrated classic
3. Simon & Garkunfel - Mrs.Robinson (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9C1BCAgu2I8) The other song was decent but unfortunately for it, it was up against a giant
4. Bob Dylan - Knockin on Heaven's Door (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gazW7MOqHzQ) Voting for the real Dylan song, not the video that was on the link
5. Fire and Rain-James Taylor (http://tinyurl.com/lebm7s3) A serious contender for the win in this tourney
6. Down By the River-Neil Young (http://tinyurl.com/mj6737a) One of my favorite Neil Young songs
7. Leonard Cohen - Suzanne (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=otJY2HvW3Bw) The Bulldog Swagger song was catchy but just can't stand up to this song
8. The Poppy Family-Of Cities and Escapes (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3-Lwpu2QM) Not only my nom but a hidden gem that I love. For any hip hop heads, this song was also sampled by Deltron 3030 on his track "Madness"

No problem. This is actually a good time to plug Grooveshark for the upcoming three strikes and your out tournament. That one is going to have to be more obscure stuff and you can find a lot more variety and better versions on Grooveshark than you can youtube. I always go to YouTube out of habit, but Grooveshark is better, I think. I hardly ever have a problem finding anything.

7. Phranc - Bulldagger Swagger vs Leonard Cohen - Suzanne figures that Phranc is up against such a heavyweight. Still Phranc rocks and she deserves at least one vote.
8. Cat Stevens - Oh Very Young vs The Poppy Family-Of Cities and Escapes
Oh no, I'm forced to make choices again. So many good songs and lyrics some quite cryptic.
1. Bon Iver - Creature Fear
Really tough as Ochs' lyrics are tight but Fear's mystical, captivating, quality got me.
2. Bob Dylan - Blowin’ in the Wind
Not the fake Youtube version. "Yes, how many times must a man turn his head pretending he just doesn't see?" Probably the greatest protest song ever written.
3. Simon & Garkunfel - Mrs.Robinson
Unfair fight. A hit song. Has there ever been a better melody writer than Simon besides McCartney?
4. Bob Dylan - Knockin on Heaven's Door
I respect Baez and like Diamonds and Rust but her voice just turns me off basically. I find it soulless. When I hear it I get a craving for mayonnaise on white bread.
5. Woody Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land
Unfair fight, but I'm going with Woodrow cause he's the man.
http://jeffzittrain.com/This_Machine_Kills_Fascists.gif
6. Grizzly Bear - On a Neck, On a Spit
Fell asleep for a few and this song was still playing! Like the Enoesque quality in parts. Neil Young's song is too long itself and everyone's heard it. Went for the underdog.
7. Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
Not even close. Phranc's song is a nice strummer, but Suzanne is mesmerizing, the lyrics transporting. Wow.
8. Cat Stevens - Oh Very Young
This was a really hard one too, a real toss up. Of Cities really grew on me as I listened and was gritty and spoke a truth, but Cat Steven is a musical genius whose voice I love so....
Glad people are liking Creature Fear, it's one of my favorite Bon Iver songs.

That link didn't sound like Bob Dylan, so I tried to find one, but I couldn't find a studio version of Bob Dylan singing this song, so I found a live version (with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty) and used this version for voting instead. I hope that's okay.

I like the song "Suzanne", but I didn't care for that version. I prefer Neil Diamond's version of "Suzanne".

That is not Bob Dylan. Looks like he makes it hard to access his original songs on Youtube? I'm voting for the original Bob Dylan song.
I didn't think it sounded like Bob Dylan, but I'm not an expert of his music so I wasn't sure. I just know that his voice usually sounds kind of nasal, but that one didn't.

2. Bob Dylan - Blowin’ in the Wind vs Donovan - Colors
Dylan is my all time favourite so it'd have to be some great song for me to vote against him. This isn't one of my favourite songs tho specially when it's not sung by him!

4. Bob Dylan - Knockin on Heaven's Door vs Joan Baez - 500 Miles

I love the James Taylor song but the Woody Guthrie is so evocative of the time
6. Down By the River-Neil Young vs Grizzly Bear - On a Neck, On a Spit

7. Phranc - Bulldagger Swagger vs Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
wasn't keen on Phranc but I'm not a big fan of Cohen really either
8. Cat Stevens - Oh Very Young vs The Poppy Family-Of Cities and Escapes
Loved Cat Stevens when I was growing up. His apparently simple songs have great power to move you

I'm not surprised at all. In fact, I'd expect that. Most people find Dylan a bit unrefined, a tad too unpolished, let us say, for their tastes.

4. Nick Drake - Day is Done vs Joanna Newsom - Inflammatory Writ (breaks my f*cking heart to vote against Newsom, I like her just as much as Drake, but comparing the songs Day is Done is Drake's masterpiece, a work of genius, and as I said, he is really the lord of folk. Inflammatory Writ, while a great song, is not Newsom's masterwork.)

Your link for The Spinners in the first match didn't work for me. I found a link but I can't link it without it embedding.
Hmmm So how do you link to a Youtube vid without it being embedded?
