28. James Taylor would be my favorite as well.

I used to play in metal bands back in the 80s. It was pretty funny how many shredder guitarists loved James Taylor as well. I'm going to add Jim Croce to this since no one else has named him yet. I had most of his songs memorized as a kid. I had his greatest hits album in the early seventies.
