Thought provoking list - in a totally un-hip, hip response, I'll admit I know about 60 percent, so I'm going to starting wiki-ing those. I'd like to add Tom Waits, partly b/c he shares my birthday, partly b/c of his kick-ass voice and lyrics. Also, Jeff Beck, today. He plays the most hipster guitar ever and his song "What MaMa Said" is great turned up on the radio cruising down Penn State roads - its like you're on a friggin' spaceship - HIPPPPPSTER canon material...and ultimately the guy who did "Fact or Fiction" back in the late 70s in Burlington, VT. - hipppppster_ lower case. shhhhhhhh...be cool.
