So many great artists. Hard to pin down even the top ten, I do think that Chuck Berry deserves to be very high on the list. Mostly overlooked, for some unknown reason.

Impossible question, but it has to be Joni Mitchell. She got me through my teenage angst, just, with "Blue", my all time favourite LP and I'm 71 now. That's an awful lot of years.
For those folk who think Jimi Hendrix wasn't a good lyricist or a great guitar player or?..and his Strat didn't sound good! All I can say was he was a genius in all areas of music...period. IMHO...and apparently in most others as well!
