GUEST,Gene Burton	Who's the best songwriter? (164* d)	RE: Who's the best songwriter?	27 Sep 04
In all likelihood, the best songwriter is some guy unheard-of outside his home town, whose music none of us will ever get to hear. Sorry if this sounds unduly pessimistic, but it's a fact that (due to the vagaries of chance, luck and capitalism) many of the best songs never even get recorded, let alone commercially released. That said, of all the songwriters who've had the good fortune to be widely heard of; these are in my view deserving of particular attention:- Bob Dylan Leadbelly Bert Jansch Richard Thompson Cyril Tawney Bill Monroe Morrissey (yeah, seriously!) Nick Drake Jackson C. Frank
