I'm seconding the lot of 'em and adding Carl Newman. More for his solo stuff than for The New Pornographers.

[edit] Fuck you quote tags

And does Blackmore count as post-1980? If not, then I'll second him.

Well, Blackmore's still churning out pretty damn decent folk rock as Blackmore's Night. So maybe Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night? I think it definitely counts if they're still making new stuff.

--- End quote ---


Hell damn yes. They make me proud to have lived in Melbourne. Particularly Lisa Gerrard - while I appreciate Perry's skill, I can't connect with his stuff on the same level as I can with Lisa's.

I mean, I challenge anyone to watch the rubbish-dump scene in Baraka, with The Host of Seraphim playing in the background, and not be moved.

I'm going to piss Khar and sp2 right off and say Maynard James Keenan. Also, Adam Duritz - you may not like the way Counting Crows have gone recently (I don't), but August And Everything After is lyrically beautiful.

EDIT: Ooh! Ooh! How could I forget the Aussie contingent? Nick Cave, Paul Kelly, and Daniel Johns. 'nuff said.

TheCourtJester:
Paul Simon (yes, he wrote after 1980)
Seal
Oberst
Sting
Daron Malakian
Danny Elfman (I think he's already been mentioned...)

StrikeThePostman:
Second (or third, or whatever) John Darnielle and Jeff Mangum.  Also, Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens.
