Very, very nice-with a very intelligent, moving, message-Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, The Indigo Girls, Alison Krause, the Wilkersons and The Rippingtons immediately come to mind (if not Pete Seeger, dammit :P ).
fall far and well Pilots!

I do like some of their music... to me The Tain and The Hazards of Love are excellent...along with a few other songs, The Infanta immediately comes to mind, but still a little too pop-y for me at times, though I do highly admire their lyrical stylings
"Speak to me of summer,
long winters longer
than time can remember"

"I still remember the talks by the water
the proud sons and daughters
that knew the knowledge of the land
spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways"
