The Stranger, by Billy Joel is way too low at #73 | ||

No Neil Diamond? The guy just had a #1 album. Bob Dylan with #1 spot is accurate. Form there, it's not based on much. | ||

I would say that placing Carly Simon's "No Secrets" at 22 with James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James" at 26 is clearly wrong. I would say he needs to be top 10. I also would say "Anticipation" is as representative of Carly as "No Secrets" but it was not as commercially successful. The most glaring omission to me is no Bob Seger. Hello, "Night Moves"? It's hard to argue with obvious choices like Mitchell, King, Dylan, etc. (Message edited by classicyesfan on March 07, 2009) | ||

Whoever put this list together didn't research it very well. "Pieces of the Sky" by Emmylou Harris is one of my favorite recordings There are 10 songs on it. Emmy co-wrote one; the remaining nine tunes were written by others. How can it be a great singer/songwriter album if the singer played such a small part in the songwriting? | ||

I think they're trying to sell CD's. | ||

I like some of the artists listed, but I don't think I could pick one album by them since they have good songs on multiple albums. quote: It can't. I guess they don't know how to read liner notes, though I thought it was common knowledge that Emmy didn't write much. | ||

Lou Reed's "Transformer," huh? Oh shut the fuck up. An absolutely hilarious entry, even though I kind of like that record. And, of fucking course, a Leonard Cohen record. One of the main ways that I know I am, like, definitely not hip or cool or, y'know, anything at all is that I have never bowed & scraped at the altar of Leonard Cohen. | ||

the top 10 aren't too bad, the omissions are glaring: Gordon Lightfoot - Summertime Dream, Don Quixote, etc. Michael Nesmith - any of the first national band albums Nick Lowe Some Todd Rundgren shoulda been there so many of the included folk (i won't mention names) write lyrics like they have a cliche generator on their computer. At least when Warren Zevon uses a cliche, it is clearly for a sense of irony |
