Best songwriters... EVER

[Loui]

Well another thread has provoked me to make this un'

So who do you think is the best songwriters ever...

I'ma post mine when I decide k.

[Thrilled]

Well first off, there's a difference between Best Songwriters and Best Lyricists. For example Axl Rose was a great songwriter, just not a very good lyricist. So don't get mixed up people. My top 5 songwriters of all time:

1. John Lennon/Paul McCartney - (The Beatles)
2. Mick Jagger/Keith Richards - (Rolling Stones)
3. Bob Dylan
4. Pete Townshend - (The Who)
5. Brian Wilson - (Beach Boys)

Yuss I was also thinking along the lines of Lennon & McCartney

[Code]

Hmm, Lennon- Imagine'd be one. Young/Young/Scott were good (AC/DC).

Yeah.

here are my thoughts:

1.Haydn- trumpet concerto in EFlat Major
2.Bach - Tocatto in D Minor
3.Goff Richards- Celtic knots
4. Beethoven - fur Elise

John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Cornell had the best work. Chris Cornell's lyrics I love, because many songs are like stories.

Brandon Boyd
Zack De La Rocha
Anthony Kiedis

Bob Dylan/John Lennon/Kurt Cobain

[Not-Thrilled]

Brandon Boyd
Zack De La Rocha

Zack and Brandon were great lyricists, not too greater songwriters Imo. Cobain was a great songwriter but there are lots better than him.
