"This is painfully difficult, as shown by the folks who list way more than five. How does one decide? I picked the 5 whose material I never get tired of and often try to play myself:
Lennon/McCartney
Garcia/Hunter
Steve Goodman
Townes…"

"This list should also include Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan."

steviedal replied to Roscoe's discussion 'Top Five Songwritwers'
"No chance.
Much as i love The Stones , and i do really love them , Lennon/McCartney beat them hands down (as songwriters) , just compare the solo careers for a start, heard any of Jaggers solo stuff ? Even Keef says it's crap. And they've…"
Paul Wilner replied to Roscoe's discussion 'Top Five Songwritwers'
