As for Buddy Holly.
it's all subjective, but I consider Springsteen and Leonard Cohen way above Roger Waters and Bob Marley. As a matter of fact both have records, books, movies and countless articles about their songwriting and poetry, while Roger Waters is just OK (and I'm a huge PF fan!) and Bob Marley is meh, he says interesting things in a few songs but not exactly a poet, more like a social narrator. Hey, there are many rap artists that are 10 times better on the same style
