You'd probably have been better off asking this in "Rock & Pop", as there are quite a few Folk-Rock fans in there, and 'Folk' is very different to 'Country'...





Anyway... British pov on this :~



I have a lot of traditional Scottish Folk and Irish Folk music, with a tiny amount of English Folk. But this is pretty much balanced out by my Folk-Rock collections {British and Irish bands / artists}. Although I have a greater range of acts in the Folk-Rock section, I have an equal amount of Scottish / Irish Folk, as those bands have a larger output.



I love both, and overall I think I listen to both about the same amount, in amongst all the other genres I have!

they are very closly related and both work very well, check out some of the greats



ANDY IRVINE,

DICK GAUGHAN,

MICK HANLY,

CHRISTY MOORE,



and pretty much anything where Donal Lunny appears as musician or producer, even the old irish band Planxty, ( the black album )



more modern names like

KAREN CASEY, ( FROM SOLAS )

CARA DILLON



MOST IRISH BASED BUT WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT THE NAMES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A PLAYER AND SINGER YOURSELF



ENJOY

What is this question even about? Why does it matter what we like? Would that change your taste? Doubtful. Another waste of a question.
