Hello Darkness my old friend

[Catchoftheday]

So who is your favourite singer-songwriter today :smile:

 

[Hoss]

I've been intrigued by that British woman Adele. I sadly heard she's had some voice trouble lately, hopefully it'll clear up.

[Magnus_Phallus]

you mean, like, recent?

I like Citizen Cope, he's good

Iron & Vine, really nice

and Leroy Miller, quite good too

 

[Catchoftheday]

you mean, like, recent?

If that's what you like today - or back in the olden days

Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

Recent singers and songwriters... Norah Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Babs Streisand, Carly Simon, Peter Cincotti,Warren Zevon...
Not so recent... Dusty Springfield, Janis Ian, Melissa Manchester,Peter Allen, Boz Scaggs, Harry Nilsson, Crosby/Stills/Nash&Young...

I'm a huge fan of Bjork. Other greats are Chrissie Hynde and, of course Joni Mitchell.

Two of the best singer-songwriters whom most people haven't heard of are Marshal Crenshaw and Holly Vincent.

I guess I tend to prefer female vocals :redface:

Mr. Catch you always ask such tremendously difficult questions! I seem to have a new favorite every other day. Just now I can't decide between Serj Tankian and Rise to Remain. Tomorrow it'll probably be Iron Maiden again for a bit.

Eric McCusker was the guitarist for Mondo Rock - he wrote a lot of songs for the group including this one:

Mondo Rock - "State Of The Heart"

It is MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIME!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_Heart_(song)
