Somehow those are what I would expect /lit/ to listen to. No ambient songs, every track is an acoustic song with words, often with pretentious lyrics. I bet most of you only listen to "music" for the words, disregarding the actual musical content.

Intellectual superiority is a meme. I didn't say it's bad, just that's it's all pretty similar with almost no variation. I'd call it rock of sorts, but then you'd find me a track that's not rock, and say "see, you're wrong, it's not ALL rock!"

Imagine that the opening is accompanied by an aerial shot of the Company trickling across a desert field from top to bottom of screen. On the first chord, cut to the first shot of the kid sitting at that fire in Tennessee, the light reflecting in his eyes.

Pretty much all of the Beat stuff goes hand in hand with 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' for me, Specifically Girl From The North Country.

I'd post a link, but Dylan's Copyright Nazis have made the album version unavailable online and everyone knows the song anyway.
