Her and PJ Harvey are very alike.

They're distinctly different.   :)  Yo La Tengo is shouted out in
Mexican I believe, usually in Baseball for, "I have the ball".  They are
one of the most dynamic and longest-surviving indie bands from the 80s
onwards.  

The Incredible String Band (IBS to those in the know.  :P) are a
folk-psychedelic band, and often quoted as pioneering psychedelic music
with folk.   Proponents of the band, Mike Heron and Robin Williamson
have done a tremendous job over the years.  :)

Someone has to, I suppose.  :)
