Bands and singers. Just like Allhallowsday, no jazz or classical. (Even though RC put a jazz singer in his list. If I added one, It'd be Louis Armstrong).

Tom Waits
Johnny Cash
Bob Dylan
The Beatles
Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys
Lightnin' Hopkins
The Pogues
Andrew Bird
Neil Young (& Crazy Horse)
Pink Floyd

This bunch are overwhelmingly dead or retired.

BOSTON

BOSTON was a great band.  BLONDIE was another cut I had to make.   THE WHO recorded one of the greatest records anybody recorded: Who's Next... interesting choices.

Yes he did, and hardly the one I'd pick and yet somehow CHET BAKER is perfect...
