I think it's naturally though to glorify tragic figures more then those who stand the test of time. Hendrix, Joplin, Nirvana etc etc etc. All over rated when judged on their music catalog alone.

Yeah it is natural and I do like Drakes music but it becomes annoying when artists that are still making music nearly 40 years later (and still good) are overlooked. I am glad that John Martyn is appearing on your radar more and more. I recently got hold of his 1975 album 'Sundays Child' and all I can say is WOW. He is easily my favourite solo artist.
