Who Is The Best Songwriter?

[Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789]

I love Izzy, but for him to be leading is ridiculous.

No, it isn't.

You are blinded by love!

[Spoon87]

Where's Mercury? Dylan? Springsteen?

Anyway, voted John Lennon.

[JeanGenie]

Izzy is one of the best songwriters of our generation and the way he is underrated is incredible. His solo stuff is proof of his geniality.

And John Lennon is Jesus man, if one day this planet is so polluted that we have to colonize the mars a copy of Abbey Road will lie next to Beethoven's 9th in the space ship ffs.

[Double Talkin Jive']

stradlin' from that list

[Chris Axl]

Ive picked the 10 I like the most.

Out of thos Izzy Stradlin.

But where the HELL is our best songrwiter of all time???

May I assume you're talking about W. Axl Rose?

You assume correctly

No, it isn't.

You are blinded by love!

That's right. Should we not? If we love him so much, it's because we think he is great. We can connect with his music.

Remember, it's impossible to be unbiased when it comes to music.

You are correct. The question should have been"Who is your favorite songwriter?"

Not necessarily. I like him the most out of everyone on that list. I don't really like anyone else from that list. If Izzy wasn't on the list, I would have voted for either Richard or Jagger.

[Chuckle-Bros]

Did Izzy ever write an 'I wanna be your dog' or 'Heroin'?

[Calm Like A Bomb]

Izzy leading this poll is a joke, he was talented but compared to greats like Lennon, McCartney, Dylan and Mercury he was average. It just goes to show that young kids on this forum have little time for legends.

[izzy_stradlin_sweet]

Yeah, this list is missing SO many, that I can't even name them all, imo, but I guess its just a matter of opinion... but Billie Joe Armstrong?!

[Chuckle-Bros]

Mark Hollis, from Talk Talk is an amazing song-writer

[Mr-brownstone]

I personally think that elliott smith is the greatest song writer ever.

[metallic ko]

No, he did not, but Iggy Pop & Lou Reed aren't on the list.

Has it ever occured to you that some people don't like their music?!?! I think the Beatles are a crock of shit, I don't see whats so great about Queen's music or Bob Dylan's music. I don't hate them, though.

The list is a crock of shit aswell.

you can dislike their music but if you deny their achievments you're plain ignorant.

You couldn't be more right. I may not be a fan of a band, but I can listen to them and appreciate what they did although it may not be my particular taste.

[Marky]

I respect Dylan, Mercury, Iggy etc, but I clearly stated that these were the songwriters that I like, I don't complain when theres a best drummer poll and theres someone left out etc.

I'm not denying their achivements. I just think their music is crap.

The poll question is who is the best, not who do you like best. Personally, I don't think there's any way to objectively resolve who is best, but we can determine who is most liked.

That's the same. I'm not talking about counting how many records someone has sold these are facts. I'm talking about musical appreciation. Abbey Road is a masterpiece you can't just say it's crap. you may not like it, that's ok, but you can't say "Abbey Road is crap" because than you deny their musical achievment.

[Chuckle-Bros]

Let us remember that Abbey Road has its flaws

I see you're a Stooges fan. Personally, I don't like them, but I realize the influence they had on rock and therefore I would never say their albums are crap.

[JeanGenie]

Yes, I can.

yeah you can but then you deny the musical achivement. and you said wouldn't do that.

that's what we're talking about you can't say "The Beatles are crap" and appreciating their achievments in the same time. it's impossible.

The fact of the matter is that The Beatles piss all over Guns N' Roses when it comes to talent.
