I'd have to go with ole Bob Dylan. When the others are all dead and gone, and some even forgotten, Bob Dylan will still represent America in musical form better than anyone, much as Gordon epitomizes the Canadian experience in song. Dylan sings blues (America's only truly original form), jazz, rock, folk, country, soul, gospel, rap (yes, Dylan rapped in the 80s), and even a little funk here and there. Plus, I think Lightfoot is always honored when he is equated with Dylan in the press. Of course, (as if you couldnb't tell) I am a big Dylan fan.
