Dave Mustaine doesn't belong in that list.
For guitar based pop its hard to look past Lennon and McCartney for many reasons, not least cultural impact.

Regina Spektor gets a special mention from me too
and (holds breath) Eminem is (lyrically) on a different level to almost anyone

Conor Oberst, as much for his lyrics as the music composition but another diverse artist.
Nick Cave because he’s Nick Cave and no one else is

Have not seen the mighty Taylor Swift or James Taylor mentioned.
I don't know enough about rap to be able to judge but would like to hear what people think of Jay Z, NWA, Snoop Dogg etc.

I'd also suggest that the accompanying music is more important than the lyrics as melodies are often the key( no pun intended)to the song.
