When you consider that Woody Guthrie influenced virtually all the folk singer-songwriters from Bob Dylan on down, the entire Hootenanny boom of the early 60's, and contemporary folk in general, Guthrie deserves to be in the Top 5. I'd obviously put Bob Wills in the Top 5, too, but I wonder if he lost points for not being a native Oklahoman. I assume this wasn't just Oklahoma musicians, but Oklahomans in general?
