1)Bob Dylan
2)Jan Allain
3)Jagger-Richards
4)John Prine
5)Joni Mitchell
6)Hank Williams
7)David Bowie
8)Lou Reed
10)Tom Waits

Lennon - McCartney is an obvious omission from those previously mentioned

*********************************

Jagger / Richards
Lennon / McCartney
Donovan

I kind of thought J/R, L/McC, Dylan were taken fro granted.
Maybe even Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springsteen

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Paul Simon

Kriss Krisstofferson

Pete Townshend

Justin Currie (Del Amitri)

dylan
jagger richards
ryan adams

Noel Gallagher needs to learn the meaning of the word 'dynamics'. Add the monoaural sound of Liam's vocals.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Jagger - Richards
Robert Johnson
Hank Williams
Smokey Robinson
Leiber - Stoller.......



ROCKMAN

Martin L Gore

In no special order: Nick Cave, Scott Walker, Roger Waters, Roy Harper, Jagger/Richards, David Bowie.

A few of these are my favourite lyricists but not necessarily favourite vocalists if that make sense.

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

Marc Bolan
Ray Davies
Jimi Hendrix
David Bowie
and of course Bobby Dylan

1. Bob Dylan
2. Townes van Zandt
3. Van Morrison
4. Hank Williams
5. Johnny Cash
6. Dan Penn
7. Richard Thompson
8. Curtis Mayfield
9. Scott Walker
10.Lee 'Scratch' Perry

Can't help but thinking about Hank Williams.He died 29 y.o and left so many classic hits!-seems as unbelievable as in Buddy Holly's case(he died 22 y.o.).
Townes Van Zandt is stunning also:"I've got two girls-one in heaven,one below..."Deeply touching!

Are J/R and L/McC to be considered typical singer/songwriters? To me S/S are artists who can do a whole show with just an (acoustic) guitar or piano accompanying their vocals.

So for me (in no particular order and incomplete)

Waits
Hiatt
Dylan
Guthrie
Springsteen
Lucinda
Oldham

Tom Waits
John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats):


Neil Young
Sufjan Stevens:


Bob Dylan
Horace Andy:
Elliott Smith:


Johnny Cash
Paul Simon
Ryan Adams

I always thought that singer/songwriters were people that sang and wrote songs...?


McCartney does about a third of his show with just him and an acoustic guitar / piano these days.
