I see they neglected to put on Billy Joel. You might’ve heard of him, you know, the piano player? Then there is James Taylor. The American duo from Fleetwood Mac and on and on.

They were waiting for David Allen Coe to die so they could make this list.

That list is an absolute joke. Not surprising, given that it’s the NYT.

Never heard most of them, but I’ll accept the list now that I’ve found Bob Dylan on it.

I advise looking at Rick Beato’s comments posted here twice
He has his comments about Jimmy Webb being left off the list.

A couple of years ago I discovered “Empire State of Mind”...on youtube.He wrote it and he and Alicia Keyes perform it. It’s really good...both the song and the video.
To: MarlonRando
No Neil Diamond. What a joke.

“I like Rick. He’s a good cat”
Rick Beato has an extensive music education besides being good at communicating what’s going on with music old and new
