My top 100 solo male artists by Moondance

In this chart I offer my top solo male artists.
In doing so, there are 3 key things to know about my choices:
1. Being Australian, I am very familiar with artist from Australia & New Zealand and feel they don't get the recognition they deserve on the BEA site. So I unashamedly have a natural bias towards them;
2. I am a songwriter and my tendency/preference is towards those male artists who are also singer/songwriters;
3. Being born in the mid 1950's, my musical preferences & most influential singer/songwriter artists were those in the 1970's - so this chart will reflect that particular bias.
This chart will list the male artists in alphabetic order - so there is no inherent rating between the male artists.
