10 best singers-guitarists and songwriters

[cloud of dust]

OK, your list must include prolific singers, kick ass guitar players and those known for a history of great songwriting. No one hit wonders:

My list (it may exceed 10-the rules are loose):

Eric Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Jimi Hendrix
Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon-yes, McCartney can play lead (Maybe I'm Amazed)
David Gilmour-actually my favorite
Mark Knopfler
Jerry Garcia
Lindsay Buckingham-Fleetwood Mac
Todd Park Mohr-Big Head Todd OK-I am a homer
Eric Johnson
****y Betts

Maybe some of you younger guys can enlighten me to some more recent great ones.

Rob Halford -- vocals
Lisa Gerrard-- vocals
Glenn Tipton/KK Downing --dual leads
Tony Iommi--lead/song writer


Oldies:
Brian Wilson --individual
John Lennon/Paul McCartney --team
Chuck Berry -- lead


That covers it for me. No one else comes close in my book.

Steven Curtis Chapman

I'll mention Kurt Cobain.

Also, Eddie Vedder. More for the songwriting, but he also plays a nice guitar.

That's for the newer/more recent era.
