OMFG I HATE J00 HAUALGBHAULGHBG

Never mind. I never watch MTV, by the way.


SO ABOUT THOSE POST-1980s SONGWRITERS, HMM?

sp2:
As far as actual good songwriting goes, I'd say Soundgarden wrote some damned good tunes.  I mean, certainly they wrote a lot of trash, but they also wrote a lot of really well-put-together songs.

I'd say the Weakerthans do the same thing, too.  They have some bad songs, but they're damned good lyrically and they write good hooks and have good song structure as well.

Arguments could be made convincingly for Pearl Jam, although I'll leave those arguments for someone else to make.

Your less-than-threes are eating my screen!

sjbrot:
How do we define songwriters? Caribou writes great songs. Buck 65 writes great songs. But would either of them qualify as "songwriters" in this thread?

It seems alot of the people being sugested here are white guys with guitars. Is that the definition of a songwriter? I think the term itself is redundant for anyone who makes music.
