My favorite by far was Crosby, Stills, and Nash: Young later on. I could sing nearly all harmonies (though an octive lower in the case of Nash). My brother and I would often sit and sing duos. Cat Stevens, know how to play nearly every song on every album up to and including "Catch A Bull At Four". Favor the early one "Mona Bone Jakon". I suck at most of them mind you but I know the chords for all. Lately I have been unsing the capo to get some of them more in my range. The baritone guitar is perfect for Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die". That song is played on the 7th fret so the baritone tuned to a B instead of E is in the right key. It makes the song much darker. Play about half a dozen Elton John Songs from his first album to but not including Yellow Brick Road. That album and all after suck. Eagles, the first three albums.
As for Young, I have a hand full of favorites from CSNY to On the Beach. Lately, I've been working on "The Old Laughing Lady" in a double drop D. Love that song as well as "Don't Let It Bring You Down and "Oh Lonsome Me".
Dylan, a few. Favorites are Knocking on Heavens Door, Times are a changing, Ring Them Bells, Blowin in the Wind.
Couple Fleetwood Mac. ELP, Traffic (Try "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" on acoustic even 12 string)
Pink Floyd- a few songs, Try "Wish You Were Here" on acoustic. Need a 2nd or third person for leads.
Then there is a guy named John Prine (RIP). His songs are not bout the instrument or music. They are about the poetry, much like Dylan.
I just wish I could post these without he fear of being sued.
I disagree with you on Clapton. There are others that are far better. Just different genre.
