I'm sure somewhere upthread Joni makes an appearance,as she should. The Joan Didion of songwriters...
Saw the Triffids at The Half Moon in Herne Hill in the mid eighties I guess.. A packed pub and a terrific gig I still think about often. He was a piece of real work.
I saw them a couple of times. Last time at the Town and Country - at around the Calenture era, I think. Loved the band, even though some of the stuff was patchy. Born Sandy Devotional would probably be my desert island choice (and it would probably be thematically appropriate, too).
Sandy Denny, for Who Knows Where the Time Goes...
Jonatha Brooke
She does rightly make an appearance.
I rank her with guitarplayers also.
That is such a great album (BSD)
It still gets lots of spins around here.
No arguments about that here. He (DM) is one of my prime candidates in those late night wondering sessions about what the dead would have done if they hadn't died etc.
Ray Davies - aside from the more well-known stuff, "Arthur" is simply a masterpiece, rightly or wrongly overshadowed by the Who's "Tommy."
Did anyone say Jim Steinman? I quite possibly did, as there was no great lyricist clause, IIRC. The man knew a thing or two about EPIC - enough to garner Todd Rundgren's interest
Tim Booth (James, Booth and the Bad Angel) generally doesn't get much recognition here in the states. His lyrics are brilliant.
Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson
Liam Howlett. I first heard his music in 1991-92 (the tracks mentioned in the below article).
Kate Bush.
n.p. Hounds of Love
You know - the one singer/songwriter/guitarist that I always come back to is the amazing Franco and his TPOK Jazz. In Europe and North America you always hear about Fela Kuti being the king of African music but ask in Africa and they will probably tell you Franco. He is a legendary songwriter and incredible guitarist. I actually wanted to name my first son after him but my wife was worried that he would be associated with the Spanish fascist dictator.
Morrissey
Jon Kennedy (Tru Thoughts Recordings)
Every album he made is exactly my taste.

Also, if you haven't spotted it already, there is a box set (CD's and vinyl record plus much printed) of Quadrophenia, which includes the original album in total as the demos he played to the band. Plus material that didn't make it onto the album. It is very interesting, and unsurprisingly, superb even in the one man at home form.

@Zen210507 You right! Lol, it's an excellent set brother, I have both that set and probably the best box set/collection I ever bought: the Lifehouse Chronicles.
It is the 'Who's Next' box essentially, Lifehouse was the projects name before it collapsed under too much of Townshend's self admitted grandiose ideology.
Next to McCartney & the Beatles, Townshend to me is a close #2 or 1B. The Quadrophenia Tour of '97 reaffirmed my absolute love & dedication to music...I was thinking way too much about if I could, should, whatever with music as my career/lifes mission...I was busted and struggling, so there was a lot of the had I "made the right decision" kind of shit going through my head.
I walked out of that show and KNEW I was on to the path I was supposed to be on. Music was what I had to do. Seriously, I still feel that way...I don't give a fuck if I'm sleeping under a bridge strumming a guitar with & 3 strings for spare change. Music is my life, end of story.
Townshend's music woke my ass up in a moment of darkness and I'll forever be grateful.
As a younger man, I saw the Who play Wembley Stadium. Me and my mates were up high in the lip of the stadium, and the band were at the other end. You couldn't hear someone shout next to you! God knows how the poor blighters near the stacks got their hearing back. Loudness aside, the sheer power of many classic Who songs wowed the 80,000 plus crowd. Other acts on the bill that day AC/DC (Bon Scott era), Nils Lofgren (before he joined the E-Street band) and The Stranglers. So, not a bad day out.
A little in life I came to fully appreciate just how clever Townsend was, and how creative. I still rate the Who, at their 1970's peak, as the greatest ever rock band. And if any Stones fans are reading, I think of them as a blues band.
BTW, if you haven't read 'Who I Am' the Townsend bio, its got some great stuff. Including a quote from Daltrey, something along the lines of - "Most drummers play from left to right, or right to left. Moon played forward!"
That's a brilliant night out! Townshend's hearing loss has been worked around on stage a bit by drum plexi-baffles and a lower stage volume but both times I saw them in '97 & '99 they were still blisteringly loud & I was grateful I brought my sonics ear plugs that didn't dull the sound so much as just reduce the db level.
Entwistle was alive for those shows so the post 2002 shows with Pino Palladino might be a bit more reasonable in volume. But glory days Who (and I totally agree with @Zen210507 that from 1970 to about 74-75 the Who were THE greatest live rock n roll band) were so loud, especially with Moonie driving Townshend & Entwistle to turn up & up, it was Spinal Tap "World's Loudest Band" territory for sure.

You listen to Zammuto or DeJong solo?
nice
yep, Zammuto stays on rotation
Wish I had a shed studio like Zammuto's.
John Denver - Critics hated his music and called his songs "simple," but he sold millions of records, and of course, Barry Manilow because he "wrote the songs that made the whole world sing."
