Re: Songwriter/s
Otis Blackwell. Yeah, I know you've never heard of him but I bet you've heard the songs he's written - Don't Be Cruel, All Shook Up, Return To Sender, Fever, Great Balls Of Fire and more. A largely unsung hero of popular music who sadly passed away on May 6th, 2002.

Re: Songwriter/s
For the younger members I would submit XTC`s Andy Partridge. Ignore the singles and try the album tracks No Language In Our Lungs, Book Are Burning, Dear God and Your Dictionary. Standout albums are Nonsuch, Skylarking and Wsap Star

Re: Songwriter/s
I like the Neil Young song "Mansion on the Hill!" which I only heard in year 2000 for the first time when a BOC fan from USA sent me a tape!
 Now "Mack the Knife" is a song and a half but there are so many great tunes,different ones for all seasons and moods.Last edited by kestrelx; 26-08-2004 at 15:24. |

Re: Songwriter/s
Neil Young's 'Rust never sleeps' album is a great L.P.
On hearing of the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, he instantly dedicatated the opening song 'My My, Hey Hey' to his memory. The lyrics 'A king is gone but not forgotten' best discribing the situation. |

Re: Songwriter/s
Mmm maybe Neil Youngs lyrics should have been "a tramp has gone but not forgotten!" I mean no way would Kurt C have seen himself as a King!Elvis yeh but this guy ? I don't think so! But then again ?

Re: Songwriter/s
That should be Jon Anderson. He dropped the "h" when he left Accy. I think he recorded a few things with Vangelis but certainly didn't feature on "Chariots of Fire".

Re: Songwriter/s
Greatest "songwriter" of all time!! Wolfgang Amadaus Mozart. Boy could he knock up a tune on the way home from the pub.
