I haven't read all the posts yet, but I would have to say the only other singer/songerwriter that is in the same category as Gordon Lightfoot, for me, is Willie Nelson. I'm nuts about him too. Two totally different guys, but I love them both equally. They are both icons. I would, however, have to say that I believe Gord has the better singing voice. Jim Croce is up there amongst my favorites also, and of course John Denver. One of my greatest regrets is that I never saw John Denver live in concert--may he rest in peace.
