Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. There are tons of great folk rock bands.

my bad. I'm not a country fan except for a few songs from Cash, Willie, etc. I'm not really a big folk rock fan either, but I definitely listen to the genre more than country.

eta: well i listen to Ween 12 Golden Country Greats a ton but that shouldn't count

I don't really even think of CS&N, Buffalo Springfield and the like as being folk.

I know they technically are but when I think of folk I think of Dylan, Donovan, Woodie Guthrie, Joan Baez

Yeah that stuff is rock with folk influences.

I think of string bands/ appalachian folk when I talk about folk which I like way more than country.

Well technically folk rock falls under the folk music genre, but I get what you're saying.
