    i don't think you can say anyone person is the best. i like ed's musical choices and lyrics, but there are a lot people out there that are equally talented. Ted Leo for example . . . he doesn’t have a voice like ed, but his songs are amazing.

    I really really love Bright Eyes,I'm a huge fan.....but 'When the President Talks to God' is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.Honestly,I've never heard anything more cringe inducing,it was way worse than 'Rock around Barack'.I started supporting the war in Iraq when I heard it,that's how lame it is.

    We should always support war. It is the best form of crowd control.

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Assuming he is in this generation, and already mentioned once here, Kurt Cobain was the best. Constantly compared to a modern day Bob Dylan as far as his writing went, I think it's gotta be him. Just an opinion of course...
