another little survey/contest to get you thinking....

Whose the Greatest Complete(Music & Lyrics) Songwriter of all time?
Here's the Criteria-The Songwriter had to Write "BOTH" the "Lyrics" & the "Music" for at least 10 Brilliant Compositions,and you have to cite those 10 songs. It doesn't matter if those 10 songs were written while they were in a Band,or not. But they had to Write "ALL" 10 Songs "Completely" by "Themself". That means "NO" Assistance from Anyone, on "ANY" of the Music & Lyrics of the 10 songs. Don't waste my time with listing Artists that only wrote the "music",or Artists that only wrote the "lyrics" for the 10 Brilliant songs you're going to list. I'm making this Crystal Freakin' Clear! They had to write Both! If you're not sure if the artist you want to list has written "Both", then DON'T reply!!!Just to give you an idea. Here are 16 Songwriters you could "Possibly" choose from, that fit my criteria-John Lennon,Bob Dylan,Leonard Cohen,Cole Porter,Paul Simon,Van Morrison,Neil Young,Irving Berlin,Paul McCartney,Elvis Costello,Bruse Springsteen,Stephen Foster,Hank Williams,Woody Guthrie,Townes Van Zandt, & Tom Waits.
