your favorite songwriter?
I like songwriters who write songs that are easily adaptable to any music genre. Such as:
Kris Kristofferson-Sunday Mornin Comin Down or Me and Bobby McGee
Willie Nelson-Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain or Crazy
Carole King-anything she ever wrote
Leon Russell-Superstar or Livin on Tulsa Time
How about you?

Michael Stipe. The master of cryptic, abstract, and opaque lyrics.

It's hard for me to put anyone ahead of Bob Dylan.

Anthony Kiedis. His songwriting is poetic.

Warren Zevon: poetic, dark, poignant, savage, funny.
So much more than Werewolves of London, though I do like that song.
Excitable Boy
Hasten Down the Wind
Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Desperados Under the Eaves
Splendid Isolation
Sentimental Hygiene
Keep Me In Your Heart
And many, many more.

I can see me getting slammed for it, but one of my favorites is Gordon Lightfoot. Virtually everything he wrote from about 1966 to 1976 is classic.
Agree with Carol King, though I only own a few of her albums
Stuart Murdoch from Belle & Sebastian
Gil Scott-Heron
Lou Reed
Mark E. Smith
