Joni Mitchell consigue colar 2 canciones entre las 20 primeras, y Steve Goodman 2 también, entre las 30 primeras. Por ahí aparecen The Band, The Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Joan BAez, Phil Ochs, Eric Andersen y toda la banda. Quizá la lista está un poco sesgada hacia la música norteamericana, y la británica queda con pocas representantes, pero aun así no es mala del todo. Y nos servirá para descubrir muchas cosas que no conocíamos.
