Top ten American composers/songwriters

There is a warning label on bottles of isopropyl alcohol that clearly stating that it is for disinfecting and making hand sanitizer, NOT for drinking.

But it is such a clean buzz. 

Unfortunately, Difford and Tilbrook are Brits, though I wish the US could claim them.

Warren Zevon
Michael Nesmith
Art Alexakis (Everclear)
Mike Ness (Social Distortion)
1++ Frank Zappa

And Harry Nilsson.

I can’t believe nobody mentioned Burt Bacharach. His contribution to the Greatest Hits far exceeded most of the names listed by others here! And Paul Williams went well beyond a bunch of the artists listed above and isn’t head of ASCAP for nothing!
