READERS POLL SELECTIONS - Singer/Songwriters

VA - Singer Songwriters, Readers Poll Selections Vol. 1 - 15 (A Butterboy Compilation) (15 x CD's) + Bonus

Its been 3 weeks since the last Readers Poll suggestions for greatest singer/songwriters tricked through. I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone who contributed to this list. There are some wonderful tracks here.  There are 365 tracks identified (one for each day of the year). Every track you suggested will be included, with exception for multiple tracks, in the compilations that support this readers Poll choices.

It took some time to decide the best way to compile these tracks. I have settled on compiling them in the following manner.  Year written and  Artist (alphabetically , and Title alphabetical if more than one track by an artist in a given year).

When you hear some of the tracks put forward you will probably not be too surprised but I assure you that when you listen to the compilations created you will not be disappointed. The mix is terrific and anyone interested in music will enjoy these; your selections. I hope I have not omitted any of your choices, If I have please forgive me and please drop me a comment and I will generate a bonus CD accordingly.

Even though some artists were previously included in the two sets of Butterboy compilations all of your suggestions will be included in these new compilations. Where the same tracks were identified several times it will only be included once. (Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" was suggested 6 times...).

In whatever the order these appear they are all wonderful tracks that will enriched our listening pleasure. And what Gems they are. If you haven't heard a particular track, be prepared to hear something beautiful and rewarding.  Again thank all for you support and contribution.


The following 15 x 25 track compilations + I Bonus CD,  Readers Poll Selections represent your selections. Enjoy!

Note: The Contributing Artist description in the tagged files actually refers to the Songwriter. and the Artist is the performing artist. 

A special mention to Aging Child, who came up with the initial idea. Thanks my friend. It was worth it.

  5. Butter, you've really outdone yourself this time - what a tremendous amount of dedicated work and determined focus you've put into this! (Thank you for the shout-out... but I only floated an idea, like the bloke who suggested to Michelangelo that maybe he put a couple Biblical images up on that big ceiling.) Beyond the great writers and singers themselves, great credit goes to you for reining in and perfectly arranging the great herd of wide-ranging, awesome and lovely cats; and heaps of credit especially to all of your knowledgeable, songster-loving team! This is going to be a great and very-educational many-hour listen.

    1. Thanks Aging Child for your thoughtful and generous comments.
      I thank you for the initial suggestion as it has given me an opportunity to listen to many tracks I haven't listened to in a while. I am sure the contributors also enjoyed trying to pick their favorite singer/songwriters as opposed to just a great song. There is a real wealth of tunes here, thanks to all who contributed. I have enjoyed do it and I hope it shows in the final product... Now get cracking and listen to these great tracks.

      Cheers.

  7. Butterboy I do not have enough words to thank you. I was wondering why you have not started to do it earlier as I imagined you would go in batches. Epic work my friend. Maybe we need to do it once a year to celebrate.Thank God there are tons of music to pick from!

  10. Hi Butterboy,
    Absolutely brilliant. What a wonderful amount of music collected here!!! There are probably many memories behind each song in the life of the reader who selected the song. It's a wonderful work, an incredible gift you give to all of us. So, thanks, thanks thanks for the enormous efort.
    Enjoy the reduction of the restrictions and stay safe

    1. Hi Il Commendatore,
      That is a very good observation you make. The memories around each song may be different for all of us but the person who named the track do so with the love they have for that song or artist.
      Thank you for your generous and kind words too.

      Cheers

  11. Glad to have put Bashung in the list but see myself as a betrayal to my country as i forgot Gainsbourg. Nevermind this is so nice to have this for the we. I really appreciate your what u do so thx again.

    1. Hi ppp.
      Stop Bashung yourself up. I am sure Serge is still regarded highly, around the world. He may turn up in future compilation. Hope you enjoy these choices even though it doesn't have Gainsbourg.

  21. I sat on the sidelines as this intriguing list was compiled. I did that because my own 'greatest songs list' would have skewed heavily towards the works of Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, the Gershwins, all the way back to Gilbert and Sullivan patter songs (not to mention Orlando Gibbons' Silver Swan). Thank you for sharing this project.

    1. Hi Eric,
      Your choices would have still fit in perfectly. All music styles are important. Maybe in the next round. Sometimes it is good to just watch, like in sport, the outcomes still generally satisfy. Enjoy the music.

  22. Butterboy - Wonderful labor of love! Somehow I wasn't listed as a contributor, but four out of five of my song selections were, so that's what's important. Looking forward to listening to these.

    If you feel like doing another 30 volumes, I've already got my next five picked out.

    1. Hi Lee,
      I don't know why you name wasn't listed (Probably my Fat Typing fingers which often make little mistakes.) Apologies. I will fix that soon. I am glad your choices were included though. Completing another 30 volumes would be great so keep your list you never know when that may happen.
