"Interference list of Top 100 lyricists"! Cast your votes, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who do you consider to be amongst the greatest lyricists of music? Let?s see if anyone can mention a name we already don?t know, and then we might, in the process, learn about someone that could change our lives the way U2 did.
My picks would include (without needing to mention Bono):
Leonard Cohen ( ?Suzanne?, ?First We Take Manhattan?, ?Closing Time?),
Elvis Costello (?Alison?, ?Everyday I Write A Book?, ?Deep, Dark Truthful Mirror?),
Neil Diamond (?Solitary Man?, ?Sweet Caroline?, ?I am I Said?),
Bob Dylan (?Like a Rolling Stone?, ? Subterranean Homesick Blues?, ?Blowin? in the Wind?),
The Bee Gees (?Stayin? Alive?, ?How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?, ?How Deep Is Your Love?)
Woody Guthrie (?This Land Is Your Land?, ?Do Re Mi?),
Mick Jagger (?Satisfaction?, ?19th Nervous Breakdown?, ?Brown Sugar?),
John Lennon (?Imagine?, ?Day in the Life?, ?Give Peace A Chance?),
Paul McCartney (?Yesterday?, ?Hey Jude?, ?Here, There, Everywhere?),
Paul Simon (?Sounds of Silence?, ?Bridge Over Troubled Water?, ?Graceland?),
Bruce Springsteen (?Born to Run?, ?Born in the USA?, ?The Rising,
Bernie Taupin ( ?Your Song?, Philadelphia Freedom, ?Candle in the Wind?),
Stevie Wonder ( ?Superstition?, ?Livin? For the City?, ?I Wish?)
