On October 13th, 2016, The Nobel committee awarded Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize for Literature. One could argue whether or not Dylan’s work, stripped of its melodies, stands up to the work of Neruda, Seamus Heaney, or T.S. Eliot, but for the purpose of this paper, I would like for you to consider one of the following artists or duos, and make the case for why they, too, deserve the Nobel Prize:
MLA Format: Performer last name, First name. “Song Title.” Website Name. URL.
Example: Cohen, Leonard. "You Want It Darker." Youtube. https://youtu.be/XQOpeJ8YHr E?si=sdYyuGXXZ3JjziFN.
For more information on how to cite song lyrics check out the Scribbr website.
Note: Most websites, like Youtube, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc., have share links where "stable" URLs are available:
OR "..." 
Please use those instead of the links at the top of the page. If no "stable" URLS are available, then use the links at the top of the page.
Please Note: There are also physical books available at the library for other artists on the list, including some of the artists below
