    • Ryan Adams

      Bob Dylan
      Elliott Smith

      fullerov @yes_ | 20 Feb '07, 21:47 | X
  • Elliott Smith

    Everyone else = irrelevant, unnecessary, etc.

    Zapsta | 20 Feb '07, 21:47 | X
    • I wasn't asking for debate,

      just confirmation.

      Thom_fa @Zapsta | 20 Feb '07, 21:47 | X
      • Sorry

        Elliott Smith.

        Zapsta @Thom_fa | 20 Feb '07, 21:49 | X
  • Simon Joyner.

    David Thomas Broughton
    & Jens Lekman

    They should form a supergroup. It'd be awesome.

    Bright Eyes, if you count him.

    TheWildSon | 20 Feb '07, 21:58 | X
    • Bright Eyes counts

      as a parasite.

      greatest solo parastite.

      Thom_fa @TheWildSon | 20 Feb '07, 21:59 | X
      • Thom

        is wrong...

        But Bright Eyes IS a band. So can't really count

        fullerov @Thom_fa | 20 Feb '07, 22:20 | X
  • PJ Harvey

    Otherwise the usual suspects: Dylan, Springsteen, Bjork...

    charliepanayi | 20 Feb '07, 22:26 | X
  • bf

    Ever?

    Scott Walker, (would have been a tie with Gene Clark, but Gene did lots of stuff with byrds/doug dillard/gosdins etc...)

    grockle | 20 Feb '07, 22:50 | X
    • I just span through my

      music collection - about 25gigs - and I never noticed how few solo artists feature. Hmmf. Vote for Elliott anyway, just to be original.

      FrancescoNoir @grockle | 20 Feb '07, 22:52 | X
      • Tom Waits

        TYYOU MORONS :D

          • i'll kathleen

            your brennan!

            just because they write songs together doesn't make him not a solo artist

            Jamie_Summers @smezzer | 21 Feb '07, 00:01 | X
            • elliott smith

              easy

              robellovich @Jamie_Summers | 21 Feb '07, 00:05 | X
              • Mr. D Bowie

                I think you'll find.

                Maybe nobody likes everything hes ever done but everybody likes something.

                the_sad_oak_hunt | 21 Feb '07, 00:28 | X
              • Björk

                yes, Björk.

                IanJ | 21 Feb '07, 00:29 | X
                • Bob Dylan

                  or David Bowie

              • You're all wrong

                Nick Drake takes this one

                dove_from_above | 21 Feb '07, 00:38 | X
                • ..

                  Aaron Dilloway.

                  • Tom Waits / Scott Walker

                    impossible to choose

                    moribund | 21 Feb '07, 08:44 | X
                  • david bowie

                  • you wanted confimation

                    that PHIL COLLINS is the best solo artist ever?

                    good luck mate.

                    Dylan, Hendrix, Morrissey, Ian Brown, Springsteen, Lou Reed...

                    I'd even take Ryan Adams.

                    but collins? nope. never.

                    ever.

                    rhiannongarthjones | 21 Feb '07, 14:45 | X
                    • AND

                      Bowie, Van Morrison, David Gray...

                      rhiannongarthjones @rhiannongarthjones | 21 Feb '07, 14:45 | X
                    • Collins is no less ludicrous than

                      Ian Brown

                      thewarn @rhiannongarthjones | 21 Feb '07, 14:47 | X
                      • i was

                        just naming better artists than phil collins.

                        soem of ian bonws stuff is pretty good. nothing like the roses obv, but better than anything phil coollins ever did!

                        rhiannongarthjones @thewarn | 21 Feb '07, 14:54 | X

                    No results. Seriously, you people suck.

                    • I love Phil Collins

                      He writes great pop music and puts on a great live show (a much better show than when I went to see Bowie).
