the greatest songwriter ever ?

[jason100x]

Barry Gibb And David Gates.

Actually Barry writes some amazing hooks. David Gates was the man in the early seventies if you wanted to win over the ladies at that time.

Tough question, need to think on this.

Having McCartney and Lennon as separate options lessens their worth IMO.


(Michael Jackson???)

[Hard Boiled HK]

wth? I'm the only one who voted for McCartney?

this is'nt the greatest human ever it is greatest songwriter ever

if jackson did do what he has been acused of then he is a prick

but simply put jackson for a period could only write classics

[MetalVomit]

Prince, my friends, is the king.

bob dylan, john lennon, a couple of my big faves.

[Dr.Depravity]

I would go with Jim Croce, Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell, Prince. (Yes Prince dude has written a ton of songs, alot of hits for other artist too.) Ice Cube Frank Black, Glen Danzig. I could go on and on.

Cantrell and Cornell...don't forget Maynard James keenan /adam jones - great music + deep lyrics
