I'd love to have a one hour song-writing session with Neil Finn (Crowded House/Split Enz).
Is Andy Partridge on any of these four pages? He orta be.
Also, Hayes/Porter killed it for many years. A lot of pulp but a lot of amazing too.
A couple more (I don't care about rules or propriety):
John Cale
Diamanda Galas
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient : all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
-1 Corinthians 6:12 (King James)
haha well I did follow the rule in my first post of this thread
Almost all my favourites on here already...so plus one for Justin Currie. Try 'What Is Love For' or 'If I Ever Loved You'
It's an obvious one, but should be mentioned for the phenomenal influence he had on the next 3 generations of songwriters: Lou Reed.
Though he's on my shortlist of all time favorite music makers, Brian Eno probably doesn't belong on a list of 'great songwriters'. That said, I just listened to Another Green World and I can't help but love the silly romanticism of the line "I'll come running to tie your shoes". It's almost proto-twee: feel like the song would get much more credit if Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening had written it! I would love to hear The Jesus and Mary Chain of 1986 cover it.
hehe it might get more credit in a 150-mile radius in the Pacific Northwest
I'm not a big fan of "Pop" Eno, but a singer/songwriter friend of mine swears by the Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy record. Prefers it to anything Eno did with Roxy Music.
Lucinda Williams
Ray Wylie Hubbard
Hays Carll
Rodney Crowell
Robert Earl Keen
Lyle Lovett
Alejandro Escovedo
and, of course, Stevie Ray Vaughan
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Oh and Scott Walker.
I like a bit of XTC - he was good in the Dukes of Stratosphere too. Used to see them around a bit in the old days.
David Bowie at his peak — exemplified by The Laughing Gnome.
@u0421793 Ha! Was just singing Mister Bowie to myself, stuck in South Austin traffic:
"...and if your homework brings you down
we'll throw it on the fire and take the car downtown...."
Doesn't look so great on paper, but just a finely constructed, sweet little song ('Kooks').
Ashes to Ashes has always been one of the most left field songs I've ever heard on the radio. Who else would release such experimental sounding music as a single?
Ah, but mate, it's a great pop song and was especially so if you put it in the context of the day/time it came out.
Totally agreed. A testament to clout and the will to use it.
I think the most left field single release (at least in the UK) has to be "Oh Superman" by Laurie Anderson. And it reached number 2 in the charts...
It's a great song too (if you count that as songwriting - hint: I do)
Viv Stanshall. There's a rumour he helped John Lennon out with a few lines in 'Lucy...' too.
O Superman For Massenet turns up quite a lot on my phone playlist.
As does also, a comparatively more novelty song, Kissing With Confidence by Will Powers (actually rock photographer Lynn Goldsmith) with some quite advanced vocoding to gender-shift her voice.
…but then again, so does Funky Town by Lipps Inc. keep turning up on my phone playlist.
I saw Nick Caves but haven't seen Tom Waits, yet.
Leonard Cohen, Joe Walsh, Roger Waters.
Mikael Åkerfeldt, Mountain Goats, Smog, Brendan Perry.
Just (finally) saw this picture from Mister Reed's last photo session (apparently). If clothes maketh the man, then lines surely maketh his face...
This thread already contains many of my favorites
Lou Reed, David Bowie, Lucinda Williams, Nick Cave, Neil Young, John Fogerty, Richard Thompson, but it is missing (unless I overlooked them) three outstanding songwriters
Gillian Welch
Tom Verlaine
and
Mr Chuck Berry
The late night men in my life:
JJ Cale
John Martyn
Arthur Russell
my fave songwriters are naturally my fave bands/musicians:
1.beatles/hendrix
2. bowie/floyd
3. roxy music/david byrne and talking heads
modern day:
ween
malkmus
tweedy
Before anyone may get the impression that only old and/or dead people can be good songwriters, I thoroughly enjoy the words of Danish artist Tina Dico.
Leonard Cohen
