I didn't know that we were putting them in order! Eeek!  Also, I'd be remiss to not mention: Andy Partridge Paul Weller Lennon and McCartney and Danny Elfman (More for music than lyrics, although he did manage an occasional excellent piece of urban poetry. He strictly writes film scores now.) I'll stop. For now. |

I just had to dredge up this old thread to put in my 2 cents for the wonderful Mr. Neil Innes...

I met Neil once, along with Eric Idle. They were both incredibly high. It was . . . interesting.

I keep finding cool threads here and there on this board. My top five are easy:
1. Bob Dylan
2. Ray Davies
3. Neil Young
4. Joni Mitchell
5. (Tie) Lennon/McCartney and Jagger/Richards
Confession: I didn't want to leave either of the last two off, though I was tempted to include Van the Man Morrison instead, so I opted to have a 'tie'.
