I heard The Crane Wife recently and I have to say that it's a nice addition to this site. Clap I'm going to try and look for The Tain next.

I've never heard of them, so i won't comment on their music. However a comment on page 1 made me think. The person said they were prog-folk, but sounded like early Fleetwood Mac, now i know for a start that FM in the early days were a blues/rock band, and def not prog-folk, anyone care to eleborate?

Prog folk of what I have heard, worthy of inclusion I think.

Dan and Cyg have been raving about them in the Velvet Rooms but I still have yet to hear a single note from them. If they get included I will make a strong effort to hunt something down soon.

They were just added!

Get The Crane Wife and after that, get Castaways and Cutouts.

sorry, I forgot to respond to how pleased I am with this addition because I had to run and review The Crane Wife. Unfortunately, in my haste, I made an error as far as italics go and hopefully it will be fixed soon (admins, could you help me out with that one Embarrassed)
 
Ha! This is a scene out of HTM-Hell Wink
Although the main page in italics is cool. Seriously, it needs a bit o' fixing Embarrassed

Very happy to see The Decemberists added. And to Prog Folk, where they belong, too!!!!

Seeing reviews for Decemberists albums on the front page made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I bet there'll be some controversy once people realize that a band that often sounds like somewhat simple indie-pop has been added, but they definitely deserve to be here. Their latest album The Crane Wife (a 5-star masterpiece btw), easily proves that.

I personally think this addition was very questionable, to say the least.... but then again, no one ever seems to agree with me, so what do I know.

Prog-related I could've somehow understood, but calling the The Decemberists a full-blown prog band baffles me to no end. There are plenty of far more creative and progressive indie bands out there imo, who now arguably deserve a spot here as well.
