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.
