Neil Peart from Rush. The Thinking Man's Rock Band. Congrats on making it in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 (finally!!).
True Story, 99% of Rush fans are men. I am sure there is a woman that is a Rush fan, but I've never met her.
I don't know what it is, but I can't freaking stand Rush, and I don't know a single woman that likes them.0 -
Lil Wayne

however did I Forget Elliott Smith? What a talent we lost there.0

Elliott Smith, James Blunt, Jeff Buckley, Ed Sheeran (don't knock him til you've listened to his unknown stuff.. like Wake me up) Peter Gabriel (arguable)
And some newer stuff
Ben Howard
Bon Iver
Bright Eyes (First day of my life is an example)
Emeli Sande
Ally Sudol (Of A Fine Frenzy)
James Vincent McMorrow
Marcus Mumford (Of Mumford and Sons)
And whoever writes The National's songs..0 -
I agree with the list happening so far but need to add
-Ani Difranco
-Conor Oberst
-Regina Spektor
-Janis Joplin
ETA: Morrissey and Gord Downie
Oh Ani she definitely should be on there.0 -
Neil Diamond!

Trent Reznor0

I'm real partial to Van Morrison, David Bowie and Peter Gabriel.
Surprised no one has mentioned Lou Reed yet. He should be on the list.0 -

Lennon/McCartney, Laura Nyro, Carol King,Dolly Pardon,John/Taupin,Paul Simon/Neil Diamond0

Bruce Springsteen.
1st name that came to mind, but Lennon, McCartney, Simon (and Garfunkel) came to mind. I also like Taylor Swift songs, but would never recommend dating her to anyone. If she stays in a relationship longer then a year will it mark the end of her career?0 -
Willie Nelson
Mac MacAnally
ANGIE APARO
John Berry0 -
For me, best ever:
Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Lieber & Stoller, Bacharach & David, Jagger/Richards, Daltrey/Townsend, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Carole King, Rodgers/Edwards, Morrissey/Marr, Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Plant/Page, Lucinda Williams, Gram Parsons, Pink Floyd, Fagen/Becker, Leonard Cohen.
Not the best ever but really bloody good:
Kate Bush, Shawn Colvin, Neil Finn, Vedder/Pearl Jam, Suzanne Vega, Patty Griffin, Mark Hollis, Peter Gabriel, Blue Nile, Adam Duritz/Counting Crows, Kurt Cobain, John/Taupin, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Tweedy/Wilco, Brian Wilson, Emmylou Harris, Mark Lanegan, Mark E Everett, Stipe/Buck/Berry/Mills, Eric Clapton, Richard Thompson, Robert Cray, BB King, Stummer/Jones, David Sylvian, The Band, Ryan Adams, James Grant. AIC. Grant-Lee Phillips, Matt Johnson. Bob Mould, Pixies, Warren Zevon, Kristin Hersh, Neil Peart/Rush.
OK, I'm getting carried away now. No doubt I'll have missed a few important ones. I know The Beatles, U2, etc. aren't there, just my opinion.
Real solid list there. Nice call on Tweedy, Ryan Adams, Lanegan and especially Mould (some favs of mine).
I also have to give Paul Westerberg, Craig Finn, Greg Dulli, Ben Gibbard, Ian Curtis and Brian Fallon a vote.0 -

I know 2 women that love Rush. Oddly enough they are the types of girls that have more male friends than female. ILIKE Rush, but I'd never go out and buy a boxed set or anything.0 -
Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.
-Steve Earle
Big fan!0 -
I agree with the majority of those already listed. My 'best ever' changes depending on my mood. Some others I like that I haven't seen mentioned...
Ryan Montbleau
Ray Lamontagne
Howie Day
Norah Jones
