Recommended Posts

No particular order...

Tyler / Perry

Rose / Stradlin

Mercury / May

Morrison

Plant / Page

Jagger / Richards

Dylan (can't stand him, but credit where it's due)

Lennon / McCartney

Chris & Rich Robinson

Astbury / Duffy

Ah, screw it...can't pick just 10.

Springsteen

Wilson

Berry

Brian Setzer (I'm biased - but the guy writes rockabilly and swing as good as the originals did.)

Noel Gallagher

No particular order:

1. Chuck Berry

2. Buddy Holly

3. Angus/Malcolm Young (can't really separate them since they've always written collectively)

4. Keith Richards

5. Mick Jagger

6. Neil Peart

7. David Bowie

8. Pete Townshend

9. Axl Rose

10. Freddie Mercury

I didn't include any metal, because that could be a list of its own.

  1. Tyler/Perry
  2. Jagger/Richards
  3. Rose
  4. Sixx
  5. Sixx/Ashba/Michael
  6. Simmons/Stanley
  7. Lennon
  8. Young
  9. John/Taupin

Nikki Sixx is that good he gets listed twice?

Lennon and no Macca?

Is that Neil Young or George, Angus or Malcolm?

Are you stoned?

Nikki Sixx gets listed twice, once for stuff he does on his own (motley crue) and the stuff he writes with james michael and dj ashba. number 8 is neil young, angus and malcom are terrible :thumbsdown:

and yah, no paul. his solo stuff is laughable and the beatles are atrocious.

:rofl-lol::rofl-lol: :vomit:

I didn't include Bon since the Youngs still collaborated after his death - he didn't have a hand in writing everything the way Angus and Malcolm did, for obvious reasons.
