The 60's and 70's is a tie between John Lennon and Bob Dylan. The 80's is Axel Rose. The 90's to today is Dave Matthews.

Although I agree that Mustaine was amazing as well. ...Dave friggin Matthews? If his voice didnt sound like he got kicked in the junk maybe... but ever since I left yuppiesvill high wherein every damn preppy chick loved him, I cant stand it. Perhaps I am misinformed though... any songs that are a little harder or less lilting and wussy? I'd like to like him. |

Re: Best Singer Songwriter indifferent genres
I don't think he qualifies at all... I don't think he "writes" any of the music for Tool either, other then maybe the lyrics. From the few interviews I've read/heard its more of a collaborative process with them.
Ryan Adams is a great nomination. I would also nominate Jim James from My Morning Jacket, easily one of my favorites. Willie Nelson? Waylon Jennings? I'm not too sure what % of their music each wrote, but even if it was only 50% I would consider both of them along with the already mentioned Johnny Cash. |

My favorite Metallica songs are on Kill Em All and they are co-written by Dave Mustaine. I like his voice better too. Matter of taste though. The Metallica vs. Megadeath debate was huge when I was young. I agree with you assessment of Matthews, though. I can't figure out what people like about him. |
