Also, Tomas Kalnoky from Catch 22, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution and Streetlight Manifesto deserves to be mentioned here.

James Taylor is awesome, so are Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Last Resort by the Eagles is the best song ever written in my opinion

I like Don Henley for some reasons. Him and the rest of the guys from the Eagles. Most of their songs said something.
