For years, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/folk-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">folk music</a> was not popular. However, during the 2000s, the subgenre indie folk began gradually building a captive audience among music listeners. Armed with an acoustic guitar and poignant lyrics, indie folk bands seemed to rise in tandem with American hipsters' love of beards and artisan goods, while still making some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-folk-songs-2018/ranker-music" target="_blank">best folk songs</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-indie-songs-2018/ranker-music" target="_blank">best indie songs of 2018</a>.&nbsp;Indie folk music started to show up on college radio before ultimately exploding around the 2010s with groups like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver going on to become national phenomenons. Since then, these groups have managed to sell out theaters, arenas and even amphitheatres on the strength of music that would have been dismissed as too niche as recently as 10 years prior.&nbsp;So, that begs the question, who are the best indie folk bands? Well, there's no easy answer to that. For starters, if you want to measure indie folk artists based solely on popularity, then London's Mumford &amp; Sons has to be near the top of your list. Their second record, Babel, won multiple Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year back in 2013. The same goes for famous folk singer Bon Iver, who took home a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/grammy-award-for-best-new-artist-winners/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Grammy for Best New Artist</a> in 2012. However, Iceland's Of Monsters and Men, &nbsp;Los Angeles' Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and female folk singer Feist would argue that the strength of their extremely catchy songs and the constant radio play would land them as some of the best indie folk artists.This list should include every famous indie folk band. If you notice a particular artist is missing, then feel free to add them. The point of this list should be to answer the questions &quot;who are the best indie folk bands of all time?&quot; and &quot;who is the greatest indie folk musician ever?&quot; There's no right or wrong answer, but ultimately, these good indie folk artists' fate is in your hands so choose wisely!&nbsp;

Beginning in the 1960s, the genre known as folk pop emerged as folk music grew in popularity. While the earliest folk singers and folk bands would never have believed that they'd hit the mainstream. Yet, with catchy songs, big hooks and a carefully crafted persona, pop folk bands started to emerge and caught on both commercially and critically. The earliest folk pop bands helped pave the way for bands in the neo-folk movement that rose to popularity during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Thus, while pop folk hasn't soared to the heights of the hippie years, that doesn't mean it hasn't completely gone away.So, what are the best folk pop bands? Any list would be incomplete without the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, the Byrds, Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Joni Mitchell.

Rising to prominence in the 1960s, psych folk is one of the most popular subgenres of folk music. Compared to the many different forms of music to emerge during that time, psychedelic folk fused elements of the&nbsp;folk music of that time and psychedelic rock and was a new, exciting genre. Known it's atmospheric sound, psychedelic folk creates a mystical experience for listeners that was far removed from what music fans expect because they also fuse Eastern music bands and influence. Psych folk is also known as <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/avant-garde-music-bands-and-artists/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">avant garde music</a> as well.So, what are the best psych folk bands and psych folk artists?

Psychedelic folk bands like originators&nbsp;The Holy Modal Rounders,&nbsp;Red Krayola are among the most prominent names, but let's not forget psychedelic folk artists like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd fame. Barrett is one of the faces of both psychedelic folk, for his original compositions, but also psychedelic rock as one of the founders of the legendary Pink Floyd during their psychedelic years. While Pink Floyd eventually became one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-progressive-rock-bands-and-artists/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best progressive bands</a>, their roots are firmly entrenched in psychedelica.That said, it's up to you to determine what are the best psychedelic folk bands.
