Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Might as well keep the trend going.... Criteria for this are that they are known for writing and singing most of the songs with which they are associated. Rock stars can be included, if they fit the criteria, of course. Art Garfunkel probably would not qualify (unless you just love all those Art Garfunkel lyrics), Elton John definitely would not. 1) Bob Dylan2) Bruce Cockburn3) Phil Ochs4) Joni Mitchell5) Warren Zevon6) Jeff Tweedy7) Frank Zappa8) Willie Dixon9) Paul Simon10) Neal Casal Edit: also, Lennon/McCartney, Townes Van Zandt, Paul Weller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
