| 1950-2000: The Top 25 Singer/Songwriters Paul McCartney’s solo career, taken as a whole, has served mostly to severely diminish, not enhance, his overall reputation as a songwriter. Both John Lennon’s and, for that matter, George Harrison’s, solo efforts were, in most cases, much better ... | |
| 1950-2000: The Top 25 Singer/Songwriters Waltersalas,Considering that our man George gets the songwriting credit for such classics as "The Window Up Above," "Don't Stop the Music," and "Just One More", I think that he qualifies as a pretty good songwriter.By the way, I really should have... | |

| 1950-2000: The Top 25 Singer/Songwriters Why they didn’t make the cut:Jagger/Richards, Lennon /McCartney, and Elton John /Bernie Taupin are songwriting teams. They do not properly belong on a list of individual singer/songwriters. Moreover, the solo careers of these guys are not up to th... | |

| Nick Cave fans? Phasecorrect,The film to which you are refering is the Wim Wenders directed "Wings of Desire." This film was later remade in the US as "City of Angels," starring Nicolas Cage. Alas, Nick Cave was apparently not invited to do a cameo in the Hollywo... | |

| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Phasecorrect & Waltersalas,Once again, you are both bang on! Most of the rock stars for whom a death cult has emerged were in a severe creative decline by the time of their departure. More often than not, we find that rockers who do in fact li... | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Phasecorrect,I am in total agreement with, say nine and a half, of your 10 points. I too have been disappointed by the folks that you mentioned, especially the squandered, or perhaps dried-up, talents of Rod Stewart. However, I do think that some ... | |
