I think that the twentieth century has produced only three major singer-songwriters:
Is Roy Harper a British Bob Dylan? Why is Tom Waits (“clearly one of the most important figures of the modern pop era") such ahugely underrated genius? What to you think? Let me know and I'll post your opinions here! YOUR OPINIONS are posted with the most recent at the top: Leonard Cohen would be at the top of my list of any number of writer, singers and entertainers, I have over the past 38 years been listening to his words and have created more works than I can count dedicated to his words. Many of my titles are founded on his lyrics. I seem to see my world better when I have a song of his playing. Yes these three artists are truly the top of any list of singer songwriters. Joni Mitchell saved my life – for a long time I just couldn't get through a day without listening to 'People's Parties' at least once. I expect rock legends to be on drugs – but not helium. [Dylan's] voice is shot! Leonard Cohen's voice, by contrast, just gets better and better. Listening again to his first albums recently, I noticed that his voice is getting fuller – unless that's due to improving studio techniques… What about Tom Waits? His lyrics are as deep and beguiling as Dylan's, but he's just not as well known. Two thinds of your major singer-songwriters are Canadian – is this just coincidence?
