Nice list! All "what is there not to love" artists for me. I wish Woven Hand and Ptarmigan would get a little more attention from PA readers.

I'm really just trying to provoke people into expanding their horizons a bit, if you know what I mean.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Chicago Sun-Times praised The Decemberist's The Crane Wife's progressive rock influences with the tongue-in-cheek description "the best Jethro Tull album since Heavy Horses."

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

That's quite a collection, Paul! I'm really impressed with how well you've reached out beyond the traditions of your homeland! 

Thanks! I've not only heard of those listed artists - I like them all too. Thumbs Up
 
Harmonium also sounds familiar, but I didn't realise they were American. I thought they were French. 

Québecois! (Which makes them North AmericanWink)
