345. The Decemberists

Portland, Oregon, gave us the Decemberists, an American indie band that blended folk-rock and a busker feel into the rock-and-roll landscape.

Premier storytellers, the Decemberists, led by Colin Meloy, used their multi-instrumental sound to transcend time and place and echo progressive rock acts of the 1970s.  Their success helped other folk-rock adjacent acts carve out a successful musical path, and they gained a sizable audience while doing so.
