First, I'm not here to bash them. I've listened to several of their songs and I respect their musicality, but when I think of bands that get as much of a following as they've seem to have gotten, I excpect some pretty groundbreaking or an original sound and I just don't hear it.
link me some songs that will change my mind
as I said, I'm not here to bash them or their die-hard fans, but would rather be educated on them and some songs that I should know

i really dont give a shite if you like them or not. Why would i persuade you into liking them?

I don't get it personally. It seems like I should like them but I just don't.

They sound like shite

Indie folk is the popular trend right now with hipsters and they're the biggest name in that genre. They'll be playing the Varsity or Spanish Moon in a year or two after this fad dies out.

I think Sigh no More definitely was unique in the sense that, while is was essentially indie pop/rock, not many bands had that folk banjo thing going. The songs on that album were pretty similar and their creativity didn't really shine through.
I think Babel is sort of the same way, but now with bands like the Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men getting mainstream notoriety, their sound is even less unique and their musical evolution is even less noticeable or impressive.
Either way, I guess I like them well enough. I really enjoy Lover of the Light lately.

I don't dislike them, but I get annoyed when I hear them and about them all the time. I don't get the love for them either. All their songs sound the same

I just find them boring

I listened to their first album, and wasn't feeling it.

Not huge fan myself, but thier appeal seems to be live performances. I have seen several(on tv) and the crowd looks to react as their set/song builds. But to me it appears thats all they got. Which would be good for a festival for a song or 2 but not an entire set in a place like HOB. I can understand why they have a large following. looks fun if thats your thing. And...
has to be sarcasm right? no board is more pretentious and close minded than music board (food board close). "you don't like my band, you are an idiot. I don't like this band, they suck"

I enjoy Mumford. I have a few friends that enjoy them waaaaaaaaaayyy more than I do. My beef with them is the redundancy. They are really going to have to mix it up or something for their next album.

I rarely listen to the radio and am in somewhat of a rut on Sirius. Compared to most everything else that I hear that's current, these guys are pretty special. Really surprised I see the hate here that I do.

They are to folk rock what Arbor Mist is to wine.
