 * Let's see...
 * There's a bit of info in the biography that could be moved out into other sections: the part that discusses some songs in detail, and the "family life" section, which doesn't fit chronologically.
 * The extensive thematic analysis could certainly use some references — surely enough professionally-written reviews and essays can be found on someone like him, especially in print? Also, it's primarily an analysis of his songs — what about the other material? And if you're going to analyze the songs, why not go into the music in more detail as well? (Instrumentation, style, composition...)
 * In fact, create an actual list of references per style.
 * Long lists are generally not a good idea on Wikipedia. Particularly, Wikipedia is not a repository of lists of quotations. If the quote is relevant, use it to back up other text; otherwise take it away to his Wikiquote page.
 * Don't link to a word in the middle of a song title; expand on the info outside of the quotation marks.
 * Try not to phrase parenthetical asides with words like "note".
 * Clip down the external links a bit; individual YouTube clips can go. For articles containing useful information, use them as references and include them that way.
