Fiona Apple



absolutely correct, incredibly original, unique song writer.
bottom line she is a poet and what sets her apart are her arrangements (with help from people like Jon Brion), not like any typical pop chick songs, plus her phrasing and rhyming style of her words are not like the typical pop female vocalist.
basically what sets her apart: originality and passion



joni mitchell, second

LOL at Joni Mitchell 2nd to Fiona Apple

LOL, wow, I didn't notice that one. Different opinions are part of what make the world such an interesting place, but Joni Mitchell second to Fiona Apple... lol. Joni Mitchell's music is incredible. I'll put Coyote (especially the Last Waltz version) up against anything Fiona Apple (or any other songwriter for that matter) ever wrote.

If any woman can give Carole King a run for the money, it's Joni Mitchell. I'm sorry, but I just can't see Fiona Apple as even being in the same league as two songwriters like Carole King and Joni Mitchell.
