Paste 100 Best Songwriters (FM #83)

[louielouie2000]

Aww, I'm so glad to see my boy Joseph Arthur made the list! I think besides the Mac, he's the only artist who can elicit tears in me . I guess for artists 91-100 they don't get a write up? I was hoping to hear what they said about him.

Do you mean to say that you aren't moved to tears when you listen to the Benedictus of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis?

I'm surprised that Carole King is higher (or lower? ) on the list, considering she and Gerry Goffin wrote practically every song in the world.

Lists are a challenging endeavor, but this is pretty inane (Morrissey, Dolly Parton, Public Enemy in the 50s... and no Iris Dement or Pet Shop Boys or Bernard Sumner?!?!)
