Watch now.
Who wrote the best Jewish pop song? Was it Bob Dylan? Or Leonard Cohen? Haim? Regina Spektor? Mel Brooks?
Watch our panel of writers and critics as they debate who made our list. And why. And be sure to tell us about all the great artists and songs we left off.
Forward executive editor Adam Langer moderates a panel featuring Alan Light, author and former editor-in-chief of Vibe and Spin; Hesta Prynn, a DJ and host on SiriusXM; Jennifer Gilmore, assistant professor at Lafayette College, novelist, and screenwriter; Forward contributing editor and author Seth Rogovoy; and contributing music critic Dan Epstein.
