Great call though Sits on FF; I can't think of anyone else ploughing that furrow, let alone a chart-bothering act.

Originally posted by Jah Womble View PostNo, but Aussie jug band The Mixtures almost topped the UK charts at around the same time with The Pushbike Song. They'd previously covered In the Summertime and had aped the entire feel of Mungo Jerry's original for this single. As I'm sure one or two will vouch - many people still think that they're one and the same band.

There are certainly other artists following a not-indistinct path from that of Fleet Foxes - but not with the same level of commercial success, no.

It was a strange and eclectic era for the UK charts, so there are likely further examples.
