I happen to think that the greatest songwriters of all- time are Jim Morrison/Ray Manzarek/Bobby Kreiger of The Doors (Dylan would be a close second). I just saw a concert today with Manzarek and Kreiger and it was awesome. I always liked The Doors music, but know I love it. They put on a hell of a show.

Anyone who would argue against John Lennon/Paul McCartney is an idiot.

 

Honestly, I would have just voted for either one of them alone, but to put them together... there is no comparison. Johnny and Paully... amazing. :cheers

 

PS, George Harrison put together 2 of the best Beatles songs ever written.... "Something" + "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Lennon/McCartney [/thread]

 

LOL

 

I was thinking we should let it be, before we have to drop a silver hammer on some people's heads, there is something in the way that Lennon/McCartney wrote that makes them #1. I don't wish to light someone's fire here, but the answer isn't blowing in the wind.

Jim, SS, care to add?

We've taken a long and winding road through all these songwriters, but when you are talking about the best you always have to get back to Lennon-McCartney. Though it's been longer than thirty years ago, today, you just have to let it be.

Shouldn't the Elton John choice really be Elton John/Bernie Taupin?

 

Most people don't realize that Elton primarily wrote the music. IIRC from an interview with him, I don't believe any lyrics were his.
