10. Prince
9. Joni Mitchell
8. Elvis Costello
7. Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys)
6. Leonard Cohen
5. Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings)
4. Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan
3. Bruce Springsteen
2. Neil Young (Buffalo Sprinfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
1. Bob Dylan

The Top 10 seems fairly solid. Although I personally would argue about Prince being in such illustrious company.

Thanks for the link.

I'm not one to bitch about lists like this...but where the hell is Jim James?

[Sydneyfan]

Patty Griffin making the Top 20 was very well deserved. She gets overlooked way too often in these kinds of lists.

Jim James is far from a hippie.

i did not say he was a hippie...i said he was in kentucky smelling of marijuana and patchouli, which i have now conphirmed with a primary source

by the way, maybe he can be #56, 'cause james brown died last christmas:upyours

I'd add M.Ward to that list somewhere, and I totally agree about Jim James, Oasis, and Tool having should of been there.
