This is an addendum to my ABC's of Rock and Roll. These are ratings; so yes I think Buddy Holly
is the best and I think Housemartins is the 19th greatest etc.. I am sure I have forgotten someone and I hope you can point it out to me.
How about the great   Peter Hammill   ( formerly of   Van Der Graaf Generator ).
My favourite PH/VDGG albums are:
Typical (a double-album)
Peter Hammill recorded live and solo, on accoustic guitar and piano.  
This is when his power and voice and lyrics and songs can all be heard and appreciated at their best. Great liner notes (believe me!).
Pawn Hearts
Extraordinary: the most dramatic music one could ever hope to imagine. From the haunting opening of "Lemmings", the chilling tale of schizophrenic good and evil of "Man-Erg" (great lyrics), to the sweeping "Plague of Lighthouse Keepers".
Still Life
Very different from Pawn Hearts and more mature, but the screeching power of "La Rossa" and the themes within "Still Life" (immortality) and "Childlike Faith in Childhood's End" (existentialism) are just as dramatic and bone-chilling.
