Best Singer Songwriter indifferent genres
 

Okay guys, this isnt a poll because Im not nearly knowledgable about music. As a matter of fact, Im only going to nominate in one genre: Metal Rock.

James Maynard Keenan.

I want to hear some of the greats in this category, as well as any more you would like to bring up.

I have the bad habit of listening to what's popular in certain genres, and would like to hear some of the "greats".

In the American Folk genre, Dave Van Ronk is hugely underrated.

EDIT: yup. been saying it wrong for years.
