    growing up my mum had just 3 cds..I heard them many many times..

    simon and garfunkel - greatest hits
    the beatles - cant remember which
    beach boys - 20 golden greats

    Now Im older and I have more than 3 cd's!

    The one that I liked the best was simon and garfunkel, so it would have to be Paul Simon.

    Mike Scott (of The Waterboys) for his fantastic lyrics.

    For example - just a few lines from a mad, marvellous song about the return of Jimi Hendrix:

    He stopped every clock in New York state
    And every heart that heard him
    And time itself was beaten and confused
    And fell lamb-like under the spell of his fabulous flashing fingers

    Whole song here if you are interested: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/w/waterboys,-the/145278.html

    And if California slides into the ocean
    Like the mystics and statistics say it will
    I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

    Loneliness and frustration
    We both came down with an acute case
    And when the lights came up at two
    I caught a glimpse of you
    And your face looked like something
    Death brought with him in his suitcase


    genius
