Other nominees included Ray Davies, Andy Falkous, Jason Isbell, Joanna Newsom, Doug Martsch, Mark Sandman, Jason Molina, Prince, John Mayer, Warren Zevon, Roc Marciano, Jeff Buckley, Will Toledo, Mark Kozelek, Wayne Coyne, Isaac Brock, Ghostface Killah, Billy Bragg, Gil Scott-Heron, Smokey Robinson, PJ Harvey, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Stan Ridgway, Paul Westerberg, James Murphy, Nas, Mark E. Smith, and Kate Bush.

Doing this tournament has really opened my eyes to a lot of these artists, whom previously I had never given a fair shot. I highly recommend taking some time and giving each one a listen. Even the ones I didn't personally enjoy a whole lot were still very intriguing, and I'm glad I was pushed into trying them out.

Thanks for the participation everyone. Feel free to discuss the outcome below.

I personally prefer this top 3 to the top 3 of BEA. Thrilled with the results, all 3 thoroughly deserve the high placement. A nice game, thanks for hosting BozoTyrannus 😁

That's a pretty darn good result. Take that America.

Would've been happy with however the top 4 placed, truly, but I think this is a pretty solid ranking. Can't believe Cohen was nearly eliminated round 1. 🤣

But thanks BozoTyrannus, this was well run 😄 Appreciated the slightly different format.

Random thought: if we revisit this we should not have repeat artists and then after that maybe we have a Best Songwriter 1 v 2 contest or something?
