    Bernie Taupin is GREAT.


    I think in the early days, Billy Corgan wrote some great songs.

    Have to agree with Brian Wilson. Amazing musician as well. Beach Boys were my first concert ever.

    I'll add Beck. That dude is awesome. At least, I think he does the writing for his stuff.

    #1 Bob Dylan, Mikel Jollet (Airborne Toxic Event), Jim Croce, Bob Marley, Lennon/McCartney, Elton/Taupin, and Paul Simon. No particular order except for Dylan, he is the best song writer.

    look at his whole body of work. the type of music he wrote may be passe now, but there's alot of quality songwriting there if you look at it objectively.
