Urm not sure if you know who she is (she's Australian) but Missy Higgins!

Just a sample.......... (may be a little sappy but hey!

"The Sound Of White"

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,

What you were, what you were to me in memory.

But if I listen to the dark,

You'll embrace me like a star,

Envelope me, envelope me...

If things get real for me down here,

Promise to take me to before you went away -

If only for a day.

If things get real for me down here,

Promise to take me back to the tune

We played before you went away.

And if I listen to, the sound of white,

Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.

Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..

You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.

My silence solidifies,

Until that hollow void erases you,

Erases you so I can't feel at all.

But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness

Will end the painful dream, of you and me...

If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to

Before you went away, if only for a day.

If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to

The tune we played before you went away.

And if I listen to, the sound of white

Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.

Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white

Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.

And if I listen to, the sound of white.

I knelt before some strangers face,

I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,

But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,

And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes

I hear your smile, and breathe your light.

Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.

The sound of white,

The sound of white,

The sound of white.

I don't know if Vince Neil, Dave Mustane, and Steve Tyler would count as Singer/Songwriters.

same goes for Fruciante.

Macca is deffo one of the best songwriters ever he blows Dylan out of the water.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

McCartney is high on my list, but not ahead of Dylan. He's a better singer, but I don't think I'd put him ahead of Bob Dylan at all.

Well Mustaine IS Megadeth

He wrote every Megadeth song, and sings every Megadeth song, and plays guitar on every Megadeth song.

So i think he counts.

Plus he is fucken cool

Easy

Roger Waters

David Gilmour

Syd Barrett

Bob Dylan

Eric Clapton

B.B. King

Steven Tyler

Freddy Mercury

To name some...

I suppose Bob is in a league of his own here. Although Roger comes close imo.

Syd Barrett is very underrated. He was incredible. The rest are pretty self-explaining I guess.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And to that I would add:

Axl Rose :blink:

Izzy Stradlin :blink:

Vernon Reid

Phil Collins

Don Henley

Tori Amos

Zakk Wylde

Peter Gabriel

King Diamond (yes, I know :huh: , don't laugh :lol: )

Rob Halford

Mike Patton

Jeff Lynne

Ronnie James Dio

David Coverdale

Adam Duritz

Ok I'll stop.... :o

yeah but the music is very important in a song and Macca plays basicly all instruments himself for me that's more important than lyrics. but I can see where ya coming from.
