6. Stephen Foster
I believe in going WAY back, lol.

Foster for the 19th century, Dylan for the 20th.

8. Snooks Eaglin and Hasil Adkins (tie)

Snooks who? You heard me.

And the Haze?

OK, if the question is one of influence, Snooks and Haze are out. Just mad geniuses in worlds by themselves. But seriously, I think a case can be made for Hank Williams, and wonder why he's not on the poll.
