Not a fan of The Decemberists like many are, but I love Ray Lamontagne, Feist, and Glen Hansard/Marketa Irglova (specifically the Swell Season). Oh and don't forget the greats like Dylan who got the prog /indie /folk genre started. Sent from my (*) using Tapafux.

I'm here, I was just eating some popcorn. Seriously though, I have been so busy with work that I haven't really been following the discussion, and honestly, it's a bit over my head. I am not a designer, and I haven't heard enough hi-fi systems to judge subjectively, and haven't studied enough...

I didn't see a thread up for this genre, although a good deal of progressive rock would fit into this category. This thread should take into consideration production value, sq, and fidelity. To get the list started, some of my favorites are: Damien Rice - 0,but not so much of 9. David Gray...

I'd like to add: Tool - Reflection, amazing track, enough said. Florence and the Machine - Blinding, lots of soundstage and various background sounds that are all over the place (spatially). Lucy - any track from Wordplay for Working Bees. The Swell Season - The Moon and The Swell Season ...
