Members Porkchop Posted November 20, 2005 Members Share Posted November 20, 2005 This post is for song writers, not jerk offs, pill poppers or has-beens. I mean Syd Barrett? Give me a break... My Grandmother could write better songs than him and she's been dead for thirty years. (Syd's been dead for more than that!) Why not list that {censored}er who wrote the coke commercial "I'd like to teach the world to sing" or the "Pastabilities" jingle? Let's rock!Here's a one-up for the women writers. I want you all to check out PATTY GRIFFIN, and report back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baron85 Posted November 30, 2005 Members Share Posted November 30, 2005 let's see . . . I'll try to keep this down to who has actually influenced my own songwriting, instead of those artists who I just enjoy (Beck, Thom Yorke) Bob Dylan, of course Tom Petty John Fogerty Ronnie Van Zandt - there was a good songwriter hidden beneath that Confederate flag Warren Zevon Springsteen Mick Jagger - underrated in my book David Bowie Jon Foreman Ben Folds Paul Westerberg Rivers Cuomo - first two cds Skip James Willie Dixon ...and so many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lone eskimo Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 Only 2 nods to Joni Mitchell? So many great songwriters put her in a league of her own (David Crosby, Prince, Shawn Colvin...) Just put on "Blue" for starters and get back to me.

Members gypsy Posted December 2, 2005 Members Share Posted December 2, 2005 Love Bob Schneider. Going to see him in Portland next week. Not really into country music, but LUCINDA WILLIAMS is out of this world as a songwriter. Best writer I've heard in years. Of course I love all the oldies like Collective Soul, Chrissie Hynde, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Crowded House, John Hiatt, Shawn Colvin, we could go on all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
