It all depends on who we've been to see live most recently.
Oysterband
Bellowhead (and some of their various parts like Spiers and Boden)
Levellers
3 Daft Monkeys
The Pogues (best version of And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda I think)
Billy Bragg
Lau
Imagined Village

Like many I could list more but those are a few off the top of my head.

Ray Price, I know, I know, but you don't have to be rude, but he's been my favorite since the mid fifties, and he still is, not bad for an 82 yr old.
