Let's criticize this ranking of songwriters

So is an irate worse than an irk?

We all know who voted for the Matt Bellamy one don't we!

Yes, I think so. Irk is just like irritate. Irate is to cause ire.

The perils of letting a foreigner write freely as if he knew the language...

well that list is just funny... did quincy jones even get in it?... dolly parton? diane warren?... holy moly

[Timeblue]

You do know that when Eloneen and BSJ and the rest of the crazy yanks read these comments,they will get a little tetchy don't you think?.....

The better! Can't wait for that to happen!


 

Can't picture eloneen getting too tetchy though, but you never know, maybe this list wakes up the wild dragon inside her. If, on the contrary, she votes for option #6, then I will have failed.

I know country music get bashed a lot, particularly by the British, by I do have some respect for Dolly Parton.

Anyway, each one's entitled to his own opinion, so on cutting heads! (by the way remember you can lay your vote or votes -up to 2-, dillwyn)

Like I said,it's an American themed list for an American publication BUT.... Jeff has been well known and successful in the states for 40+ years now so the non inclusion of him is really baffling.

[Helmut83]

Not just that: there's a lot of British and Irish on the list. I mean, it's not All-American, so Jeff could formally have been considered.

[Timeblue]

The Clash and The Who guys are to be expected but Elvis Costello in the 20's? noooooooooo......

[Timeblue]

Lennon and Mcartney,Jagger and Richards are shoe horns for the list but theres not that many more British songwriters on there...

[eloneen]

Wasted that little taunt there, Timeblue ! This list does not really interest me that much for me to be offended by your comment about it! That list might make for interesting reading if I decided to go through it, but I'm not really tempted. Sorry. 

But now on to the real offense:  You've decided to "start something" while BSJ is away. I have not been formally deputized, but consider this your one and only warning. I'm sure she'd approve. Don't mess with us!
