Greatest Songwriter of all time
I was reading the Dylan post and it got me thinking. There are many great songwriters that come to mind, my expertise/knowledge is primarily with rock music. If you could only pick three, what would they be? My vote for best lyrics goes to:
Jim Morrison
Bruce Springsteen
Elvis Costello
Best music goes to:
Mark Knopfler
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Frank Zappa
