The Kick Inside and Never For Ever are also good. The Red Shoes has Prince on it, so that makes it interesting. If you like those, then you can move on the rest. Not saying the other albums are bad, just saying these are the best albums to begin with. Cheers!  [Edited 8/19/15 12:05pm] | |

Kate Bush has more songwriting talent in her belly button fluff than Taylor Swift will ever possess, but of course I know she isn't recognised in the states so fair enough. "I'm much too hot to be cool" | |

Any songwriters list that doesn't include Richard Thompson is automatically suspect. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Springsteen above Elvis Costello is embarrassing. | |

His music is funky as hell but riff based and for me there aren't enough hooks in the songs to justify their length. That's probably what you mean.

Lyrics in music are so meh. Unless they're exceptional I try my best to ignore them. if you want really good poetry go read a book.

'Pony St.' and 'The Other Side of Summer' are a couple of my current favorite EC tunes (but there are so many more). Check them out if you're interested. [Edited 8/20/15 7:09am] | |

McCartney is too high?! Man...agree to disagree. The man wrote 'Elanor Rigby', 'Here There & Everywhere', and 'For No One'. And that's all before 1967. His work on side 2 of Abbey Road is absolutely stunning. Fast forward to the 90's, and I'll put Flaming Pie up against pretty much any album from any one of his peers. Truly the greatest melody writer this side of Gershwin. Occupy Alphabet Street!
