Our Generation's Greatest Song Writter...

[Fried Gold]

Paul Simon is twice the song writter [sic] than Bob Dylan ever will be.

Elton was only really any good in the late 70s/early 80s. Anything after that is far too gay.

Nick Cave would urinate on all from a great height, but seems to stay under most people's radar.

Tom Waits is another magical songsmith, but has gone a bit too odd recently.

Elton John


Now shut up!

no no.
the Biz Markie COVERING Elton John is clearly a far superior choice.

[heypapajinx]

wow, didn't know he wrote his own music

yep.
just like Beyonce.
*puts hands over mouth to hold in laughter*
yeah... that's why her songs are so deep and introspective

 

[Assassin]

Man in the mirror is a great song, did he write that? I'll check when I go home.

 

[ComicChick]

yep.
just like Beyonce.
*puts hands over mouth to hold in laughter*
yeah... that's why her songs are so deep and introspective

lol
i think the only thing she's written so far that is worth anything is Listen.

i have to admit, i like Irreplacable as a fun song, but depth? a puddle has more depth than that song.

 

[Assassin]

For me its either Michael Jackson or Tupac.

 

[Fried Gold]

For me its... Tupac.

 

[Assassin]

red x?

t:
somewhere in this world Beyonce's ears are burning... maybe she'll be able to write a song about it and turn it into a #1 hit single.

 

[Assassin]

That new ludacris song is deep, the runaway one. wow i didnt expect that from him.

 

[TEDDY]

Bob Dylan.

 

[muertevilla]

scott kelly from neurosis/blood and time/ and tribes of neurot. his solo album spirit bound flesh is amazing too. he gets my vote.

Closer to my generation than Dylan:

Brent Smith of Shinedown
Corey Tayler of Slipknot and Stone Sour
Layne Staley of Alice In Chains

OF all time?

Dylan is on the list, but not first.
Clapton
Robert Johnson
George Harrison
Paul McCartney
and the greatest song writer of all time? John MOTHERF**KING Lennon.
