tom petty for me. dude kept it real without ever being a pain in the ass. he was kinda the getter_done of 4/5 chord songwriters.

All have there majic. Pettys aweaome but song after song and im over the dob dylan 'esque vocals. Rip.

When power ballads needed,the boss springsteens reigns supreme.melloncamps similar in that he was pretty blue collar but not near as big as springsteen but both kept it real.

Paul simon...never listended to more then a song or two.
Habit is powerfull and custom can Kill.

Niceness FTW.

this is a pretty solid take.

bruce def had the most "to say" as far as real talk goes out of the 4.

still take petty. seems like he'd be the most fun to have a beer/write a song with

Yeah, might give Petty the edge for this. But Paul Simon has done a lot of stuff beyond that...thinking Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. I don't think those albums sound like anything done by the other 3 on your list.
