I did two female singer-songwriter type polls and here's a male one with 27 names. Here's a playlist I made with one track from each artist Feel free to vote with very limited familiarity, and please vote for up to three of these, but only once per artist please. Actually, you can vote for as many as you like, I just suggest three or less to make that tootin' rootin' poll votin' trigger finger perhaps a little less taxed. I know some who like limitations and some like to live life without limits. And feel free to mention anything else that is applicable that you like. I like to share that which I like and appreciate those that share what they like.

A lot of great picks to choose from, but I ultimately went with Nick Drake, David Bowie, and Peter Gabriel -- with Nick Drake as my #1. He may have only had 3 albums, but they're all absolutely top-tier folk records ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

As for full body of work, maybe three of the five first listed (Bowie and Cohen are certain): David Bowie |

| This is too hard... David Sylvian, Tim Smith, Peter Hammill, Sufjan Stevens, Robert Wyatt, Michael Gira, William D. Drake. I'll vote for three of these but not tell you which. Several others are also great (Battiato! Tim Buckley! Nick Drake! Bowie!). |

If I disregard the purely prog artists on the list that I love (Hammill, Wyatt, Gabriel), the choice narrows down to: 1) Tim Buckley, who for me has written a sequence of masterpieces in 3-4 years that nobody can boast of (from Goodbye and Hello to Starsailor) 2) Nick Cave, who in my opinion is one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, with lyrics worthy of a gothic novelist and dramatic and anguished atmospheres of a rare intensity and then as third place, I could put Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake or Cat Stevens. 3) I voted for Cohen, having to choose. However, there are some authors I dont know or know little. ------------- Gaza: One year of Genocide with the complicity of the West |
