The nautical themes continued on Portland Oregegon's The Decemberists third release. These are modern folk songs that are equally historical and contemporary - it doesn't feel like a re-enactment. Each song is a mini-epic, an excercise in story-telling as much lyrical device. Any one of The Decemberists albums may have made this list, Picaresque is included due to its marginal consistency in finding the hidden gold.Highlights:
