I don't know who this David Grahame guy is, but I do know who Emitt
Rhodes is. I'd hardly call him a "melodically bankrupt McCartney clone
-- " Unlike most of the people here, I saw him when he was in top form,
1967, and he was an original artist 100%. funny how a tag like "the new
Paulie" can stick for ever... I think it had more to do with him doing a
one man plays everything solo album rather than his song writing.

this list does champion some people who I don't have the slightest clue
about, but I don't think its worth getting wound up over.
