Great Song Writers - Post 1980
TrueNeutral:
Steve Harris, Mark Olivier Everett and Dave Grohl.
Hat:
Tim Freedman, and as for Dream Theater, I like Petruccis stuff, but all the DT songs that I am really in love with seem to have been written by Portnoy. Its very fucking alien to me that my favorite songwriter in a band is the drummer, all the drummers I know try to stay as far away from the actual song-writing as they can.
Joseph:
Well, many of the greatest songwriters (and a few not so great ones) have already been named. I won't go and second all the ones I agree with, since that would just be a waste of time.
New ones:
Bruce Springsteen - He kept writing quality songs well into the 80s, and his latest is filled with great songwriting.
Thom Yorke - If Chris Martin can somehow get on here, then Thom should have been here long ago.
Rivers Cuomo - If only for The Blue Album and Pinkerton. We'll ignore the rest.
Kai:
NAME DROPPING THREADS R FUNN
Storm Rider:
Portnoy's lyrics are constantly depressing. I mean, I know it's because of the crippling alcoholism he recovered from, but still.
However, The Glass Prison is badass.
