Who is your greatest singer songwriter?

I’m going Mr John Lennon with strong support form Mr Paul McCartney.

I could have listed hundreds, but I think Lennon & McCartney are very strong contenders. Their music & especially Lennons, ‘Imagine’, ‘Instant Karma’.. No doubt many different opinions will be shared, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bob Marley... to name but a few..

I just read in Sound Pictures, a biography of George Martin by Kenneth Womack (2018), about the creation and recording of "Strawberry Fields Forever". Sir Paul was the much more creative Beatle but John Lennon gets my vote!

Jacques Brel (1929 — 1978), the greatest singer-songwriter since François Villon (1431 — 1463).

@InquisitiveMind You'll probably know the song "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks ("We had joy we had fun...")? That's a trivialized version of a Jacques Brel song ("Le moribond"). Brel's songs are in French, he is Belgian.

Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. Their harmonies will always stand as the greatest.

@uncalled4 Totally agree with Paul Simon! One of my all time favourites, especially with Art as well.
