So if I hate all three does that mean I hate America?

Both.
At least Paul Simon can sort of sing. Springsteen's singing is a walking advertisement for Preparation H and Bob Dylan is a walking advertisement for Dramamine. Last edited by Indy Coug; 08-13-2007 at 11:06 PM. |

Gearge Gershwin is The Great American Composer, isn't he? (I'll defer to Requiem and Farrah.) Or is it Stravinsky?
I love Rhapsody in Blue. United Airlines didn't ruin it for me.

I don't have an educated opinion on your suggestions (though I like them both), but aren't we mixing categories? I thought Mike was talking songwriters, not composers. Or, in the end, are they the same category?

I would say so but it's kind of like comparing graphic novels to literature. Yes, they are in different categories. But it's possible to make a value judgment and say that "songs" are inferior to music produced by Gershwin and Stravinsky.

With all due respect, did you read the first part of the thread? Composer v. songwriter was discussed. Requiem settled on Copeland as composer, but the thread is about songwriter.
