Overall, including all their best known albums, they are an alternative rock band and you can't seriously with a straight face tell me there's a fucking consensus that they're the best POST PUNK band can you? Do we also consider the Bee Gees to be the best folk-psych band??

>>72586719
There are so many subgenres of folk that arent discussed or even very popular anymore, makes it hard to answer that question.

Dylan would certainly be the chief of dylanesque folk and all of the shitty numale indie folk we have today because of it.

Folk rock would probably be CSY or CSNY

Absolutely. Justice are second.

>>72586579
Meme rap

>>72586828
Exactly. Eg. a lot of people don't realize that bluegrass/appalaichan is actually a subgenre of folk and has very little to do with country music (nashville post-1980 turned into shit and started lumping every 'redneck' genre together after they started down the beer-trucks-girls road)

A lot of Gram Parsons' work is inspired by pre-dylan folk (Journeymen, Kingston Trio, Peter/Paul/Mary, etc) which comes out in a many of his lyrics.
