You may have heard of Mark Kozelek and his other band, Red House Painters. If the two were in a tug of war, I'd have to side with Sun Kil Moon, personal preference. All three of these records are great. Two originals and a collection of Modest Mouse covers (Tiny Cities). Kozelek's vocal style is so laid back it contrasts his guitar playing really well, which is usually pretty intricate especially when on an acoustic. You can also see Kozelek act up a storm in movies such as Almost Famous and Shop Girl. In Shop Girl, the band he plays in is actually playing Sun Kil Moon songs from Ghosts of the Great Highway. True story.
How about Ocean Beach by the Red House Painters?
