Cohen

I feel like Cohen and Mitchell have equal places in my mind/heart... If I were forced between the two, I guess Suzanne and his Hallelujah alone are worth putting Cohen first.

Still bummed Paul Simon didn't make it very far, as I'd still take him over anyone in the final 4.

Lastly I voted Carrots in lieu of Paul Simon... 🤣 .

Otherwise I think the vote would go to Nick Cave, but mostly because I've only heard an album or two for Gil Scott-Heron.

Joni Mitchell. While their songwriting peaks are basically equal, Mitchell has more of them. And while Cohen *might* be the better pure lyricist, Mitchell's lyrics work better in conversation with the other elements of the song.

thx, didn't know that.

I have to go with Joni here. But im happy that it came to these two because they're truly the best songwriters of all time. If Cohen pulls through it'll be just as fine.

The final round has come upon us, and it is exactly as painful as you would have guessed. First, here's the two who were tragically knocked out:

Gil Scott-Heron
Nick Cave

Which leaves the final matchup...

5a: Leonard Cohen vs. Joni Mitchell
