A bit of an offshoot to other music thread.

Zevon would make my list too...but I think he got some critical acclaim....Lawyers Guns and Money....one of the best songs ever. Also check out the Hindu Love Gods, where Zevon is Vocalist w/ REM, minus Stipe.

Warren Zevon actually got a fair bit of critical acclaim. He just never sold a ton of records after about 1980 or so. The same could be said for Graham Parker, pretty much.

Anyhoo, we used to cover "Lawyers, Guns and Money" all the time when I was playing in Jealous Lover Targets. That song is pure brilliance.

How bout a new thread on Artists known mainly for one song to the masses...but have others that are much better....two examples are Zevon being known for "Werewolves" but LG & $ is much better and Harry Chapin being known for "Cats in the Cradle" while "Taxi" IMHO is a better song.
