I've always been a Denver fan. Neil Diamond too. That guy can write a song that can be remade into all kinds of different types of music. UB40 covered him, the Monkeys stole from him, even Waylon covered him...WAAAAAY better performance!! I never could listen to Dylan. He had some powerful messages but blech. No voice. Another great lyricist for me was John Denver. I loved his voice AND his messages.
