When did folk music die?--Or what's your most hated song?

The Old ManThe Old ManMember

I was watching one of those "shows" or informercial on PBS. Now a days about 50% of PBS is created content and the other half is replaying old "documentaries" about curing your brain, or more often some entertainment (usually music) that plays to a geriatrics focused demographic--like mine. So it can be soul music of the 60s or in this case about folk music hosted by John Sebastian. It's originally from 2009. So like all of these they play them with about 3 or 4 long pledge break.

So it got me thinking. (First I want to say by dead I do not mean no one on earth either listens to it or creates it, but that it is a small percentage of music sales.) So when did folk music die? In this case we have the exact date.

October 24, 1971...the day...the folk music...died.

Absolutely the worst major hit song ever released. I've hated it since day one.

As for worst song ever, American Pie can't even hold a candle to pretty much anything Air Supply ever poisoned the airwaves with. Dishonourable mentions to Journey and Paul McCartney/Stevie Wonder.

Sorry Steve, but this part belongs in TOM's upcoming "When did pop music die?" thread (although I suspect he will say that pop was dead from the start).

You could make a stronger case that it died when Dylan picked up an electric guitar, but I still wouldn't agree.

I thought about that too.

Journey of course is terrible (Kansas is too), but certainly in the panoply of horrid music Ebony and Ivory would hold a high position.

In spite of receiving lower ratings than they anticipated, cornerbacks Jaycee Haron and Patrick Surtain II are likely to return to show their value for next year's contest. Surtain said that his 75 awareness scores were 20 points lower than what he expected. "You must change that."If you want to know more about NFL,you can visit mmoexp.com/Nfl-22/Coins.html

But it wasn't all hype. Jones was able to give himself a charitable score of 66. EA giving him a good score of 70. This isn't bad for an unproven quarterback. He replied, "Okay, I'll accept that." It's fine. It isn't important where you begin It's all about the point at which you finish.
