I have to agree with Frank Black Francis.
I would currently add Baxter Dury as well.

The Kiss always reduces me to an emotional wreck,but in a nice way.Your lucky to have seen her.
I would've liked that.
The Kiss is just the most beautiful song.
RIP Judee
Plenty of Judee stuff on you tube now,including some footage from the Manchester gig.
Merry Christmas mate.

I fell hard for Lone Justice in 85, great live, but there's been at least 4 eras of Maria. Life is Sweet (96) and her last record from 2 years back are my favourites. "Down To The Heart Of London" off the last record is astounding songwriting.Maria McKee is maybe the most underappreciated artist of all time. The stuff she did with Lone Justice is great and they look like a great live band too.

Paul Weller spoke for me as a teenager/young adult, still does even though I am honorary FOC.
Buddy Holly the man who changed popular music. He wrote, produced and sang/performed songs that influenced so many others after his too early passing. When at a time musicians and songwriters were controlled
Lennon and McCartney as above, if not why name your band after another
Tony Hatch in the sixties I remember listening to so many of his songs on the radio, sat under my mothers ironing board, Pet Clarke Downtown for one...
Jimmy Webb wrote for Glen Cambell in the 60's produced so many wonderful songs of melody, tune and words, all endure even now
Burt Bacharach, him and Hal were a superb iconic partnership. What they gave to the world in song and melody...
Anyway, I could go on for hours and I probably will, but I would rather put some joy back in......

Tried but there's too many to list. I might just focus on underappreciated ones such as Billy Bragg.
