I don't know how it happened, but this thread lead me to this:so gay

I'm disappointed at the lack of Steven Tyler and Chris Martin being mentioned
Malek ended this thread already.
Rivers CuomoAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Roger Waters Exhibit A:QuoteTicking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be herejavascript:void(0);
YouTube when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
That's some of the realest shit ever put down on paper.
Why is Bowie so unbelievably ugly?because he's not of this world.
Song for song, David Bowie tops Lennon.
nick drake is quite good. not the BEST EVAR but quite good.
i like how songwriting now means 'writing lyrics' apparentlyNot to me.
I'm assuming that songwriting includes musical composition. If that's the case, it's not Dylan, it's Lennon.If it were based solely on lyrics, I'd pick Dylan.
Pete Townshed.Is this because I didn't add "Lady Madonna" to my Rock Band set list? The Beatles, though they had a short recording career, have a fairly large catalog, so I was bound to miss a song or two.
Malek stfu, you know nothing about the Beatles.
Didn't he do Yesterday, Let It Be, Hey Jude and The Long and Winding Road? Those are some of the best songs ever.
Yesterday was pretty great, but the rest... :yuck
WTF? You would have kept Hetfield on this list even after St. Anger, but you take him off because of Death Magnetic? I don't even know what to call that. Not cognitive dissonance. Critical dissonance maybe?

Dylan sucks, real talk
My vote goes to David B.spoiler (click to show/hide)Byrne! Gotcha![close]
Alright.
also, i'd like to introduce a shocking new entry into the list of great songwriters: patrick wolf. yes, yes, he's young and he's only really made two albums (let's just forget about the third one, ok?). but he's a brilliant songwriter in every regard and in every sense of the word. amazingly written, produced and arranged songs with great lyrics.
Also, I'm kinda surprised by the Bowie mentions. He's one of my favorite pop musicians, but I don't think he stands up all that well as a songwriter. Often even in his best songs, you're faced with ??? lyrics. Bowie, much like Madonna, at his height seemed to be adept at knowing what trends to follow and what collaborators to work with. Good musician, yes; good songwriter, he has some major weak points.
