My picks:
1. Joni Mitchell (I don’t like the Talking Heads no matter how much I try)
2. Ryan Adams (not familiar with Elliot Smith, anyway)
3. Elton John (close one)
4. Leonard Cohen
June 11, 2007 at 2:14 pm
1. David Byrne
2. Ryan Adams
3. Elvis Costello
4. This one’s really mean. I guess Leonard Cohen though.

it’ll be interesting to see if the NW-ers balance out the Dixie Dudes on the ry-ry vs. elliot debate… i’d pick ry-ry, but i think _either/or_ is better than any solo adams alb. probably belongs in my ‘best of 90s’ top 20.
nothing like a poll to reinvigorate the old blogosphere, uh?

I agree with Frank most of the time, including now.

joni
ryan- but only because of whiskeytown and heartbreaker
elvis
leonard, but I agree with Kyle- I base this decision mainly on my deep feelings for So Long, Marianne.
I didn’t think anyone else would vote for Joni!

don’t look now, but elton “sad songs say so much” john has ousted elvis costello in what’d have to be called a major upset.
welcome to le prisonship, where we pea on your college rock canon…usually to the tune of 70s album rock.

1. David Byrne (Their saturday night live performance of “take me to the river” is weird enough to get this vote)
2. Ryan Adams
3. Elton John
4. Gene Clark!!!!

I don’t know. Someone help me here. Why do the Talking Heads get on my nerves so much? Don’t be mean to me.
