Lol, I wouldn't know I've never heard either.

Pete Seeger isn't on this list, I call shenanigans.

The list is all wrong.
It has the right songwriters, but all in the wrong order.
Typical best ever list.

^ If you think that's a predictable comment, it's because Magazine lists always are. This is the first thing that always enters my head when I see one like this.

...Ochs is dead. Seeger however is just a very old man.

and sometimes when Billy Bragg falls asleep, who also happens to deserve to be on this list.

Edit: Lou Barlow is like my favorite songwriter period. Now I completely understand why he isn't on some magazine list but it deserve mention that this guy is better than Sufjan and Sam Bean.

And Lyle Lovett? are they serious or was that just for a laugh.

That's better than some lists I've seen, even if it is a bit one dimensional. And I love how U2 is a songwriter.

Bowie should be higher IMO, and Steven Wilson should be in the top ten.

Were they trying to be funny with Michael Jackson ad Public Enemy? Public Enemy is amazing, but the Bomb Squad just about wrote their songs(Musically, not lyrically), and Michael Jackson? Try Quincy Jones.
