mspart Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I can see Dylan and Jackson. They wrote most of their stuff. I don't think Elvis wrote much, but I could be wrong. Same for Nelson. Now I must say I don't care for Dylan and really don't care for Jackson. But they did have immense talent. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did have immense talent. mspart As I posted in the rough "guidelines" in the original post, the criteria is multi-faceted, and songwriting would only be one criterion. I chose Elvis myself knowing that he was not a songwriter, but if you use the other criteria of influence on music, society, etc, it's almost impossible to ignore him to me. And, I'm NOT a fan of his. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

List of songs written by Willie Nelson - Wikipedia Ever heard of Patsy Cline's "Crazy"? It was written by Willie. There's a pretty interesting story about that one, in particular. I don't regularly listen to Dylan, Jackson, or Elvis. But that doesn't get in the way of my attempt at unbiased perspective. It is, after all, not about my favorites. Being worldwide celebrities, changing what music and musical performance is for future generations, etc. These are the things that weighed heavily on my choices.

For someone who posts quite a lot, you seem to have an occasional strange "anti-social" bent. No judgement on my part, just an observation. I generally like our banter.
