September 4, 200619 yr Yoho mateys! Now I know all wannabe singer-songwriters want to be as creative as Bob Dylan, as popular as the Beatles, as funky as the Peppers and as handsome as me. But unfortunately, that's impossible. So if you were banned from civilised world and you were allowed the albums of only one singer-songwriter, who would it be? And if a moose on acid would chase you and it would allow you only one CD, which one would it be? Dire choices, indeed, but who knows what might happen eh? My personal favourite album would be Dylan's Best of CD. I wouldn't tell the crazy moose it's a double CD of course.

September 4, 200619 yr Close call. It's a race between: And: But I think Cohen just pips it. His songs and melodies are just so enigmatic and, where Dylan fails, his vocals are wonderful. Paul Simon is equally as brilliant, but he loses out due to his affiliation with that permy haired muppet called Garfunkel. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
September 4, 200619 yr Hmm, Graceland is amazing. One of my favorites. If I had to choose, I'd go for a Dylan one and I'd probably go for his BiographCD. It's a greatest hits CD, but it has got a lot of great live preformances and previously unreleased songs. I don't think Dylan fails on the vocals at all. In my opinion it makes the music even more special. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
September 4, 200619 yr Author Yeah, I don't get why you don' like Dylan's voice Bubs, it's not smooth or anything, but I like singer-songwriters a la Bob Dylan to be raw. Kurt Cobain's voice wasn't perfect either, yet he's one of the singers that move me most, not just because of the lyrics.

September 5, 200619 yr It just doesn't do anything for me. I know he's not exactly trying to be harmonious, but neither does Cohen, and yet his vocals appeal to me. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Wauw, an unbeliever :D I've yet to discover a song from Bob that doesn't appeal to me. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating.

September 5, 200619 yr Probably this one Jeff Buckley's vocals are so raw and emotive, it sends shivers down my spine. His lyrics, whilst not all his own, are so powerfully moving, so expressive, and cut so close to the bone for me. The album, mostly sad, has enough contrast and diversity to keep me going forever. He died too young. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
September 8, 200619 yr I agree, Paul Simon's Grace Land or Peter Gabriels So. prolly GL. hes so much more talented
September 8, 200619 yr I'd be able to survive with David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
September 12, 200619 yr Hmm, I'm going to change. I'll trade the Dylan one for Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise. Man, I just played it again, alone on my room, nobody disturbing. This album can take the greatest Atheist straight into paradise. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

Yeah, I have bought all 4 Sufjan albums recently (or are there any others apart from Seven Swans, Illinois, Michican and the Avalanche?). Have you bought his 'the Avalanche' yet?

September 12, 200619 yr I would have to say my favorite next to Dylan is Conor Oberst... :lol: I know many people consider his lyrics to be "emo" (which I don't know why) and his voice to be whiny, but both his lyrics and voice appeal to me a lot. Just a quick link if you've never heard any Bright Eyes before. As for the album I'd pick, it would either be I'm wide awake It's morning, or Digital Ash in a Digital Urn.
September 12, 200619 yr Dallas Green is my favourite singer/songwriter. His solo project is called "City and Colour" He has an absolutely amazing voice, and he is also sings in my favourite band, Alexisonfire. If I had to pick just 1 cd it would probably be something by Alexisonfire.

I have exactely 5 albums of Bright Eyes. Also the one of his side project Desaparecidos.
