  Artist   notes
1. Neil Young Neil, because you bought Lionel and you still have cooler sideburns than just about anyone in the world, you make my number one.
2. Bob Dylan The sun's not yellow, it's chicken. Brilliant. Robert Zimmerman has an incredibly vast and large collection, and few artists can make me feel at home like he can.
3. Gillian Welch It took some time for me to realize that I like Gillian so much. I had listened to
4. David Bowie let the children use it, let the children lose it, and all the children boogie
5. Nick Drake Even though his best album is under a half an hour, it contains nothing but incredible singer/songwriter music.

note: by best solo artist, i mean an artist that is incredible as a single person, and requires no band. generally, this means singer/songwriters, though several of them use bands to acheive the excellence they are capable of. possible others: broooce (not really), ben folds, regina spektor, fiona apple, sam beam (from iron & wine), Beck, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens, Michael Jackson'

3. Gillian Welch It took some time for me to realize that I like Gillian so much. I had listened to "Time (The Revelator)" over a hundred times before i realized that it, too, made me feel at home.
4. Nick Drake Even though his best album is under a half an hour, it contains nothing but incredible singer/songwriter music.
5. Regina Spektor She has something about her that makes me want to continuously listen to her (and possibly marry... who knows...)
