There is no correct answer, but imo no. He has written some classics but will they stand the test of time? how long is the test of time ?
anyway for what its worth here are my top 3 writers Bernie Taupin Lennon McCartney (counting this as one) Elvis Costello |
|
By:
If Lennon and McCartney count as one, surely Bernie Taupin counts as half, doesn't he?
|
|
By:
Over the next few months we will be told it was Amy Winehouse
|
|
By:
Taupin's a lyricist rather than a songwriter isn't he?

Ray Davis wrote some crackers and probably the best UK has produced.

The top 100 would all be American, probably the top 1000.

Let me give one small example Mikael
Willie Nelsons, You were always on my mind...this one song is greater that anything written by the Beatles in their entire career. And there are incredibly hundreds of American songsas good as, or maybe almost as good. It is a kind of miracle how many beautuful songs US artists have written. |
|
By:
There is something deeper, more honest and true about the American songwriter.There are many very talented Britisg artists, some even great...but they seem to be playing a game and lack that truth.

Carole King gotta be high up on The list
|
|
By:
Willie Nelson didn't write You Were Always On My Mind. It's no Octopus's Garden either.

Some shocking suggestions on this thread. Morrissey FFS!
|
|
By:
I tend to agree that most of the pop/rock/folk/country/soul/rhythm and blues songwriters were American or Canadian ( Cohen,Young Mitchell )
The GB ones are surely Lennon/Macartney,Ray Davies and Richard Thompson. |

By:
"Always on My Mind" is an American country music song by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson

Noel Gallagher would praise numerous bands like the smiths,nirvana,manic street preacgers,stone roses has good taste in music he went up in my estimations when he mentioned these bands as I can't abide oasis...
