Akxth 02.18.16	Tenhi - Kauan, very relaxing dark folk Death in June - The World That Summer, neofolk with a dark somewhat theatrical vibe Pat the Bunny - Probably Nothing Possibly Everything, lyrically-charged folk punk Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads, raw-sounding classic folk songs

Onirium 02.18.16	Patrick Watson - Wooden Arms and Adventures in Your Own Backyard (dreamy, slightly experimental indie folk) Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate and Songs of Leonard Cohen (both classic records with somber and astonishing writing)
Deathconscious 02.18.16	fuckin love 1, so whimsical and fantastical. and her voice sounds somewhere in between childish and a traveling gypsy or some shit.

Supercoolguy64 02.19.16	if you want to get into the weird shit: Jandek - Down In A Mirror
TheAristocrat96 02.19.16	Thank you guys. Got a bunch of new stuff to check out over the coming weeks now. Been on a bit of a folk kick lately. I needed some new stuff to find.
wham49 02.19.16	simon and garfunkel/ bookends, sound of silence The Freewheelin' bob dylan crosby still nash young/ deja vu
LotusFlower 02.19.16	the sky life - caves typhoon - a new kind of house the oh hellos - through the deep, dark valley sufjan stevens - all the delighted people
furyroad97 02.20.16	Surprised no one's listed Bob Dylan yet. If you're looking for some of the stuff that inspired half of these other guys, other than a few curveballs into rock, blues & roots, he's your guy.
LepreCon 02.20.16	All of Dylan up until 'Nashville Skyline' (even though it's more country it's still awesome) then skip the next few because they're shite then his best album 'Blood on the Tracks', 'The Basement Tapes' w/ The Band and 'Desire' and that's all the Bob Dylan anyone could possibly need. Then check out Joni Mitchell's first four (up until 'Blue'), Buffalo Springfield's debut then first two Crosby Stills & Nash (second one is Crosby, Stills Nash & Young's 'Deja Vu'), first four albums by The Band, first four Leonard Cohen, first six Neil Young albums, Tracy Chapman's debut and all Simon & Garfunkel. Pretty standard recs but that's because they're among the best anyway.
braspberries 02.20.16	Reeeally like everything on this list. Some recs, old and new: Songs: Ohia - The Lioness Vashti Bunyan - Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind Townes Van Zandt - Live at the Old Quarter Michael Gira - Drainland Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska James Vincent McMorrow - Post Tropical Lady Lamb - After Sea Lion - Desolate Stars Mimicking Birds - S/T Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight Saintseneca - Last The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2 The Wooden Sky - When Lost at Sea Waxahatchee - American Weekend Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen/Songs From a Room/Songs of Love and Hate Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/Blonde on Blonde
