2005 was the year of the singer-song writer?
Well according to this BBC article it was http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4546988.stm .
It is funny, while we here at DS are still rapped up about the crazy frog and all the rubbish rappers out there, we forget about the people who have really made the money. James Blunt can probably retire now since he must be mega rich by now. After all song writers make more money then mimers. Girls Aloud aren't loaded, by any stretch! |

I recall one week in 2005 when the Top 5 albums in the official chart were all by British singer-songwriters. I don't remember that ever happening before. Blunt, Tunstall, Melua, Gray, Cullum.

![]() I agree with you on all of them except KT Tunstall. And I couldn't possibly disagree more strongly about her! She's outstanding. And so is Ryan Adams. And furthermore, so are Devendra Banhart, M. Ward, Patty Griffin, Rachael Yamagata and Alex Parks. Year of the criminally neglected singer-songwriter, if you ask me. |
