That's marketing hype, and if you can't see through it then you really need to post less and read more books about the machinations of the music business.
Here's the way I break this issue down:
There are Guitarists.
There are Songwriters.
There are very, very few who are excellent at both and those are the ones who really deserve the accolades no matter what chart position they once occupied. |
Well said.
I believe Elliott Smith fits both bills. One of the finest songwriters I've heard and a hell of a guitar player.
I would also have to put Johnny Marr into this mix.
