The article main body is a sort of random presentation list of things that Ben has done or achieved (pretty poorly put together), and while I don't doubt some of the accolades, some solid sourcing would do a world of good to improve this article, especially the awards that are claimed he has won. Some time periods need to be added as well, it's not good enough to simply state things such as "Then Ben moved to New York where he lives, since then." Furthermore, there is a long list of non notable albums by non notable artists and absolutely no sources for any of them. There is no question that Ben is an outstanding musician who has accomplished a great deal, so I have not deleted this long discography, but it would do the article good (and certainly keep it in line with WIKI standards) to source all of these non notable albums. WIKI, afterall, is not a list of everything under the sun. Tjcam (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
