Difficult one, but the late Neil Peart of the group RUSH is by far the greatest songwriter of all time...

Ok, this one will be controversial but after hearing Folklore, Evermore and Midgnights I'd like to throw Taylor Swift's name into the ring. Im convinced that if she was a man she would be lauded for her song writing.

Brill - and original too - I can’t imagine many others putting Neil’s Tennant and Young in there together- though I agree both are excellent.

Hippies and poets make lousy songwriters. Neil Young is great because he was never a hippie.
