Some Good Ones

1 Bob Dylan (like a rolling stone, all along the watchtower, knocking on heavens door, shelter from the storm, changing of the guards, visions of johanna) Could name 50 more Dylan songs that are just as good and/or influential.

2 Van Morrison

3 David Bowie

4 Thom Yorke

5 Ryan Adams

6 Jeff Tweedy

7 Bono

8 Roger Waters

9 Bernie Taupin/Elton John

Some Notes:

#1 is permanent. The others change by the minute.

I love the Rolling Stones because they are fun and they know how to rock and roll. They are not good songwriters.

Nobody ever tried as hard as Led Zep to sound artistic/creative/authentic, but it sounds phony. Still an awesome band though.

The Beatles are historically significant and made some good pop music. World Class songwriters? Hardly.

Hendrix? His biggest hit was written by Dylan.

Honorable Mention: Irving Berlin, Hank Willams sr., Tom Waits,
