Dylan

dylan bob dylan got my vote

Bob Dylan.

Lennon for me. But most of thiose are great,

frank black does not belong though, and Iggy Pop wrote like what, ten good songs in his carrer? (lyricwise) and it has been decadedes since he has written anything worth noting?

i voted for lou reed.

not because he's necessarily "the best" but because i like him better than the rest.

i know bob dylan is good & important but i just don't like his genre. really can't stand it ha ha ha.

I'm just going to pretend Leonard Cohen is on this list.

to this day I do not understand people's fascination with leonard cohen.

Iggy Pop....best of a bad bunch

I defy anyone to give me a truly great Iggy Pop lyric? I mean, something that not any 19 year old speedfreak drug head could not write.

The exclusion of Gordon Lightfoot from this thread fills me with rage.
