I should elaborate, if you claim to know anything about singer/songwriters of the 60s/70s and don't know Tom you'll be laughed out of the room

A room full of 60s/70s singer/songwriter nerd fans is one I would be glad to escape from.

It was hypothetical, not literal you retard. Either way he's absolutely essential and the fact nobody recommends him on /mu/ but easily namedrop irrelevant and subpar poseur shit like townes proves how shitty their knowledge is

>if you don't recommend the obvious you don't know enough
classic "logic" from someone who says "poseur"
probably thinks townes is obscure too

>>70965967

cool,any recommendations on where to start with him?

jackson browne (he was really only good in the 70s)
John Phillips
Obviously Tom
Kenny Rankin
There's a lot. I made this a while ago so it's not all 70s, but definitely what I consider essential singer/songwriter

Al Pacino was a singer-songwriter???

That's Noel Gallagher you dunce

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks, Desire
Joni Mitchell - Blue, Hejira
Leonard Cohen - Love and Hate
Neil Young - Gold Rush, Harvest
Nick Drake - Bryter Later, Pink Moon
Nico - Desertshore
Van Morrison - Moondance
Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day

There's probably a ton I can't think of but that's what comes to mind, lot of them have many great albums in the 70s beyond what I listed, too.

Roy Harper - Stormcock
John Prine - self titled
Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
Randy Newman - Sail Away

Throw in Jackson C Frank (he only had one album) and this list is perfect.
