Best of these legendary artists - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My choice is James Taylor, with Carole King coming in an incredibly close second. I think James is my favorite because along with putting out the most amount of hits over the years, he continues to put out great music today. He even won a Grammy in 1999 I believe it was. Not many artists who started in the 60's, or 70's can make that claim. My least favorite of these artists is probably Jimmy Buffet. Although he put out some very good songs like: Come Monday, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, Margaritaville, Changes In Lattitudes, Changes In Attitudes, etc., most of his music seemed to be a parody, and had the same themes, while the other artist's music seemed very diverse, with several relevant themes.

So anyway, who is your favorite of these four artists?

Well, I'm like...14 so I don't know these people very well, but I'm voting Carole King b/c she sings the Gilmore Girls theme song...yea.

I like Carole King and Carly Simon.

I voted Carly, even tho her post-1980 work has been very hit and miss, even tho I loved Coming Around Again and The Basement Tapes
