Bright Eyes fans! The anticipated release of Indie-novel 'Cassadaga' by Joshua Daniel Bligh is fast approaching! Add Joshua on myspace or become a fan on facebook. Bookstore tour with Conor Oberst coming this summer. Come read chapter one on my space!
@jimmychauv Yay, you spellchecked me, good for you! The thing is that it doesn't matter if I name any better song writers, 'cuz you won't agree with me anyway. But I could mention a few, just for the sake of it I guess. Glen Hansard (The Frames, Swell Season) and Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) are both better song writers, and that is for the sheer fact that they're actually original, while Conor Oberst only writes a bunch of Bob Dylan rip-offs. But like I said before, he's talanted.
@breakfastroute There is no such thing as originality in rock. Some artists just hide it better than others. The songwriters you mentioned are both influenced by Dylan anyway. I'm not trying to start an argument. I just wanted to discover some new music. Can't really argue something so subjective.
@jimmychauv I'm not trying to start an argument either. The only thing i'm arguing against is that Conor Oberst is the best songwriter of this generation, and that is mostly because you can't say that anyone is. Like you said, it's subjective.
my friend and i just saw a band play here in chicago called Tin Tin Can. We're both huge Conor/Bright Eyes fans and we both fell in love with Tin Tin Can. Thought I'd spread some love for a well-deserving band. Search them here by typing "tin tin can" (include the quote marks or you won't find them). They're on myspace too. FYI. Rock.On.
To download, look up Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band (I've seen it on LimeWire, but I'm sure it's on others.) If you simply want to hear it, look them up on MySpace or Project Playlist (once again, the whole band name.)
he has beautiful eyes, too...

I don't know if I would say the single best song writer of this generation, but he certainly is one of the best.

@terriblydecent Everything he wrights sounds like something else, so he's not the best songwriter of this generation. He's talanted, but unoriginal.
