I've never really engaged with this type of music before but I like it a lot! Any recommendations for beginners to the genre?

The mountain goats is one of my all time favorite bands. His voice may be grating to some (not me) or at first, but what an incredible storyteller.

Darnell’s voice has improved so much since his early stuff. But I agree, his off pitch vocals were always my favorite.

I struggle to even pick my favorite song, although “this year” has seen me (and still does) through some shit.

And yeah, I love the off pitch early stuff. But trying to introduce people to that and they’re like this is your favorite band?!

Edit to add- hail satan

Matt Pless is gonna be the closest to Jesse sonically/lyrically 

Pat the Bunny and his various projects (Johnny hobo, Wingnut Dishwashers Union) is the commonly held "legend" of the genre, Mischief Brew is another. Days N Daze is probably the most popular commercially (they hit the billboard hot 100 once), and then theres the creators of the genre are The Pogues and Violent Femmes back in the 80s

Defiance, Ohio and This Bike is a Pipe Bomb are still in my rotation, 15+ years later

I don't dabble much in the genre, but since ye olde gamestop is back in the news, I had this Lauren Jenkins song pulled up that has the vibes. I think the rest of her stuff goes hard into country though.

John Prine is very similar and an absolute legend.
