Pearl Jam is on my list as well.

Wilco is too, but I'm all about that first album Being There.

Avetts gotta be seen live before judgement.. imo. Don't know if you've seen em or not.

Fleet Foxes

I'll second Wilco and Animal Collective.

AC, to me, just sounds like a jumble of noises that hipsters collectively decided was going to be cool, even though it's garbage.

I'm convinced a lot of hipsters say they like them just because they think they'll lose hipster cred if they don't.

I'll triple AC. A lot of people that like good music like them, haven't felt it.

I'm going to have to agree here as well.

Throw in Frank Ocean and Beach House as well. Don't get it...
