Fleet Foxes/folk music

I like Fleet Foxes, but most indie folk is garbage, so your best bet would be to take in some of the stuff Robin himself would have been influenced by rather than his contemporaries (though there are still good ones like Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan).

Obviously for the harmonies, Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys would interest you. In terms of the folk stuff, check out the classic guys like Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt and Nick Drake. Some of the less obvious stuff like Bert Jansch/Pentangle, John Fahey, Robbie Basho or Fairport Convention might interest you too. I you really want to get to the base of this stuff you can listen to the anthology of american folks music or Fahey's delta blues compilations. Basically just find some shit you like and then listen to the shit they liked and so on.

Came here to post this.

Would add Crosby Stills & Nash to that list as well

And also Wilco, though they're much more alt-rock they give me similar feels, not to mention Jeff Tweedy is a criminally underrated songwriter

Thanks, yeah this is what I was looking for. I thought I hated folk because all I heard was like Bon Iver type shit, and wasnt really into it. But, I realized listening to Fleet Foxes that I dismissed a whole genre.

I just listened to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and I love this guy.
I guess its not really folk rock, like you said, but thanks.
