Rep Power: 2 | | | Greatest Songwriters Ever
I just want to get some ideas on who music lovers think was one of our greatest singer-songwriters. I've put some of my opinions on the poll but give me your opinions too please.

Rep Power: 164 | | | nice..
The question I use to stump my music loving friends is, Which is the Greatest Musical Legend: Willie Nelson or Stevie Wonder.
im a little disappointed to see Stevie off your poll, actually. Though, i fully agree with Willie's presence on there.

Or Jimmy Buffett.
Let me qualify Jimmy as a selection...
First, I love his music. Second, there are more songs in his library than the average person will hear, most of them better than the songs he's known for. Third, he has built an empire (trust me, it's an empire) using the success of one song as it's foundation.

Rep Power: 2 | | | My choice was Gram Parsons. He was an amazing song writer that never got too famous. There aren't many rock n roll or country bands that haven't covered him at some time tho. A lot of times with out even knowing it. Heck Willie even covered a song of Grams i think.

Rep Power: 37 | | | Doc Pomus is in a similar vein. Most people don't know who he is, but almost everyone has heard his work.
