this is almost too difficult to be worth discussing!, would you include/omit collectors? Child, Sharp, Lomax, Ritchie, etc. or just performers? trad or folk stylists? it raises all the long-thread arguments about authenticity, personal preference,etc.

i.e. what is a real mount rushmore anyway?

and then we'd get into the early or late Elvis discussion as to how to portray them

young Dylan? vs cheesy Slim WHitman mustache Dylan?

etc. I give up

abandon all hope ye who enter this thread!

no, really, give up, back out, check out something else!

no, really, don't get caught in this maelstrom!

aahhhhhh, too late............
