I love Sally Timms -- especially the "Cowgirl Sally..." disc.  "Dreamin' Cowboy" is one of my favorite recordings ever.

Glad to see mention of Brian Wilson and Julie London.
Unless I missed it, I'm surprised to see no mention of Ms. Ella Fitzgerald.
I can't stick with just 10, so I'll duck out. Just had to give Ella some love.

Dylan's voice gives life to his compositons perfectly.

[Wicked Lester]

Dylan's voice gives life to his compositons perfectly.

Sorry,I disagree. I think Dylan is over rated and would get the axe on American Idol. Not that I watch it hardly ever. Just saying.

I will so agree with you on that!!!! Dylan is F**#*#G OVERRATED 

[Paul L]

Never say never. I dissed Dylan for years. He's not a "favorite", but I enjoy him now.

I do a mean Dylan impersonation. Of course, I'm aided immensely by my remarkable lack of singing talent.
