hey rick

yeah i like springsteen as well ,my problem with these lists is that i like different music at different times for different reasons so i never think so and so is the best ever but if i was forced to come up with a top ten songwriters i would include bruce springsteen and probably include lou reed as well if it included canadians i would add j.r. robertson and gordon lightfoot but as for others i would take way to long to think about it to write it in one day i mean i like townes van zandt and missippi john hurt and some other folks mentioned above so who do you leave out? and why leave anyone out? to hell with top ten lists as paul simon wrote one mans cieling is another mans floor ....
