tsuj and I had an intense... discussion about the songs of folk artist Martin Sexton.
She had not heard my favorite - Angeline - and I had not heard hers - Diner. We were unable to come to agreement. So now, my loyal readers, it is up to you. Which song is the best?
One has crowd noise, the other has an unrelated TV show as the picture, so I think it evens out.
[Poll #1388167]
Clearly, I'm starting to need an icon for folk music. Anybody? Bueller?
ETA: Also clearly, I forgot to include an important poll option, "Gosh, LadyA, I'm so impressed you posted two embedded videos and a poll in one post!" I am, in fact, a little proud of myself for doing that.

I think both songs are fabulous. And comparing this is rather like comparing apples and oranges. I love them both, but for such different reasons. "Diner" is fast-paced, flyin', dancin' fun. "Angeline" was a darker, richer sound... but they're both great.
Ironically, I found the Scrubs clip affected my opinion adversely since I remember, suddenly, the awful clip-show episode that was from.
