Mmmh. I am relieved to note that I have certainly never bought any of those, I don't think I have ever listened to them and I am not absolutely sure who recorded some of them.

Now - early Neil Young, Randy Newman, Dylan - obviously, Paddy McAloon, Gene Clark, (some)Bruce Hornsby,... I will wager Van Morrison listens to them!
