seeing as rufus titty man and his sister are bunged together, why not the buckleys?

Tim and Jeff Buckley are from totally different generations, not only in terms of age, but in terms of musical styles as well; Tim is definitely more of a Bob Dylan/Nick Drake-type of singer/songwriter, whereas Jeff was very much of the contemporary 90s generation, more in common with the likes of Mark Lanegan, J Mascis, Josh Homme or Chris Cornell; he was a sorta "Grunge-Folk" type of thing, you cant possibly compare Jeff to Tim....

 

Whereas, Rufus and Martha are more-or-less exactly the same genre and are from the same generation of singer/songwriters...

Some aren't really of the s/s genre though...

Some aren't really of the s/s genre though...

Singer/sonwriter is not a genre by itself, otherwise it would be in the genre section of BJ. True, most of the artists talked about in here are of the "adult comtempory" genre but not all.

Thanks for the votes everyone keep em coming! Dunno when I'll close this btw, just wait until we go a few days without votes!
