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

He wrote lyrics, not songs, and while I love Rush, adore the man, and he's the most talented rock drummer I've ever heard, he's inconceivably pretentious at a level that has rarely been topped. Please refer to my Moving Pictures review (10/10) on the album review thread for more information on this remarkable paradox.
 
Nick Cave
Mark E. Smith
Joni Mitchell
Black Francis
Iggy Pop
Julian Cope

Am aware that some of the above collaborated with others in their songwriting.
 
Bacharach and David (they needed each other)
Lennon and McCartney (likewise)
Peter Gabriel
Tony Banks
Paul Simon (60's)
Dylan
Townshend until mid 70's
Paul Buchanan
Robert Plant
 
Derek W Dick
Steve Hogarth
Black Francis
Robert Smith
Phil Campbell
Buckingham/Nicks
