Willie Dixon came up with more than a few corkers on his time.
Finally, because he has never got the credit he deserves as a writer, musician or producer, all three of which he excelled at, Roy Wood.
But I don't listen to most of those artists. I don't listen to music thinking how good the songwriting is, or isn't. I just listen to stuff I like. And I guess I like it because I like those songs better than I like other people's songs, but that doesn't mean I regard them as the "best" songs.

Add Ray Davies to the list..Brilliant Lyricist..Nick Lowe could pen a good tune..I think Jake Burns from Stiff Little Fingers was underrated..I can't listen to Abba they are so melancholy somehow..There is a darkness there,,maybe the lack of blues..I acknowledge their songwriting prowess,,those chords are nicely put together..Peter Sinfield was a good lyricist..Shame he ended up writing for Bucks Fizz..There are so many I could never pick 10 never mind one..
