Being a little controversial, but one artist who I currently love is Joni Mitchell. I honestly think that musically and lyrically she is better than Bob Dylan.
Please, don't think I am belittling Dylan - I appreciate he is one of the most important musicians of the 20th Century, even though I am not a fan of him. I love his songs when they are sung by other people! His influence though is undeniable. He is a genius, but I just don't like him singing :(
I just think Joni Mitchell's arrangements and voice are just sublime. Songs like Free Man In Paris, In France They Kiss On Main Street, Help Me, Coyote, Hejira etc - the lyrics, the bass, the production. Just wow. I wish I could write songs like that, or even be close to playing them! Never mind the lyrics. I honestly think I could just read the lyrics to Woodstock as a poem, just beautiful.
I do think when she passes on, a lot of people will realise what an unbelievable musician/poet she was. She has never truly got the accolades she deserves in my opinion and should be regarded as one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time.

That Sonja Christna was very tasty, I had a bit of a crush.It's a few Cd's of stuff I grew up with, and re-visit from time to time. A couple of others I have are Genesis Live from 1973, Selling England By The Pound and a Curved Air anthology called Retrospective.
