I'd have to agree with a number of people above (particularly those that said there's no one "best song writer"; depends on my mood and what genre I'm looking for as to who is currently my favourite). But there's one who hasn't been mentioned above, who, if you look at the acclaim they get through other folk performers covering their songs (not counting such pop artists as the Beatles and Dylan), should by all rights be on the list up there, along with Seeger, McColl, and Malvina Reynolds: Bruce "Utah" Phillips Just MHO. Cheers,
