Long list and I'm sure there are many more I can't think of...
Many have listed some great soft pop artists that didn't hit Top 40
status in the USA or anywhere else. Craig, Stewart and others hit
some of my favs.
I'll add more that I didn't see or I just missed them:
Nirvana, Nino Tempo and April Stevens, Lee Hazlewood (Some Velvet
Morning), Scott Walker, Chuck and Mary Perrin, Margo Guryan, The
Hobbits (a few tracks anyway), Pearls Before Swine, The Critters (a
few tracks), Maury Muehleisen, Thomas and Richard Frost, Honeybus
and so on.
Best,
Steve D
