What are yours? For the purpose of the thread, I feel that we should stick to a loose criteria at the very least.

Artists should be primarily known for writing their own material.
Artists should generally perform on their own.
Artists can only use one other instrument apart from their own voice. This does mean that electronic manipulation can be used if it's used by the artist and no one else in a live setting although all vids should be the artist performing.

First up for me:

His guitar work is very deceptive with two lines always being played. A simple chord line with embellished flourishes, yet his songs are short, lacking in self pity and upbeat.

No comment.

This mans voice treads that fine line between melancholy and subdued happiness.
