It doesn't really have to be experimental for me to like it, even though that's often the case. Something about their brand of pop just doesn't really attract me anymore (I did listen to Fables of Reconstruction with my dad as a kid, maybe I just got burnt out on them). If I were to give that title to someone it would be Jack and Meg White.

YES.

PS. REM with a banjo is a vast understatement referring to how totally unoriginal Mumford & Sons are!

I don't even know who Mumford/Sons are. Sure I have the ability to learn who they are, were it not for the total lack of desire.

It's one of the lyrics to their most popular song.

If your first thought is that this is a One Republic song then don't be embarrassed, cause I thought the same thing. I'm actually surprised that they're even more ****ty and generic than I'd remembered. And no that's not the band in the video.
