I concur! Jimmy is a very very very very talented writer and I miss his presence on Blondie albums so much. It's a shame all that **** went down :/

As well as those same three,
Patti Smith
Christine McVie
David Bowie

Finally...I was wondering when His Bobness would get a mention. He's the best damn songwriter ever. He can create pictures in your head with his words and I've never heard anyone who even comes close.

Let me through in a couple of expert word-wielders: Elvis Costello & Rickie Lee Jones.

Also, don't forget a very clever & satiric writer, who was a friend of the FM people: Warren Zevon.
