During my reply to the bass thread, I realized that this could be a good topic.
My top songwriters (in some kind of order):
McCartney
Lennon
Townshend
Marley (obviously Bob)
Dylan
Richards/Jagger
Page/Plant
I didn't separate the Stones and Zepplin guys b/c one guy wrote lyrics and one guy wrote the music (generally).
Lots of others to consider...
Edit: I misspelled "reply" in the original.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Axl Rose
No particular order:
Jagger/Richards
Lennon/McCartney
Waters/Gilmour
Dylan
I leave those guys together just because they're from the same band.

As for lyricist Neal Peart wins
so I guess that would be Peart, Lee Lifeson
Some of the greatest song writers ever are:
Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland Motown baby. They probably have more hits than lennon and Mcarthy.
Think Michael Jackon had to be on the list too.

You have no frame of reference, Donny. You're like a child who walks into the middle of a movie...
