Dylan. Didn’t mention Dylan. I’m an idjit. A good measure of respect in the industry is the number of songs and the number of times a song is covered. On that level, Townshend and Waters don’t rack up the points, but then again The Who and Pink Floyd are pretty hard to cover, yes? I’m not familiar at all with Peart.

the Who and Pink Floyd are wannabees….they have a niche but a small one, in the end you cannot separate the lyrics from the music
