Music is, of course, a personal thing and is often age-related. So on behalf of the "oldies, I nominate:
Brian Wilson, musical genius
Neil Diamond, great live.
Roy Orbison, beautiful voice, didn't need to cavort on the stage
Johnny Cash, sang about life situations
Glenn Campbell, good solo singer and part-time Beach Boy

top tips shrew, and truly, is mark kozelek's "ruth marie" one of the saddest/best songs ever!? anyone ever heard john martyn react to being heckled - talk about 0-60 in seconds, very different to his song style.Shrew said:Tom Waits
Nick Cave
John Martyn
Joni Mitchell
Mark Kozelek1 -
very tough, this one, as everybody, however great, has had their dodgy periods/moments - look at the giant, van morrison, you can discount most of a 15 year chunk of his output, yet astral weeks and veedon fleece are both in my top 20 ever albums.0

Cheers shooters, Kozeleks most recent Sun Kil Moon albums are up there with the best work he's done.shootershill2tropics said:

There are some very good lists here and I would agree with Shooters about the quality of Charlton fans musical taste (with some notable exceptions!). Good to see Cohen and Waits getting mentions - part of the Holy Trinity for me of singer/songwriters/poets with Bobby as God of course!0

Yes - bearing in mind the number of people who have put down lead singers of groups who have released a couple of minor solo albums as "solo artists", NG might count with his one? Or do the High Flying Birds preclude him from the list?Joshuk87 said:Really surprised no one has had noel gallagher down!
