Sting is great. Dunno how you guys can laugh at a man who has written 'Fields of Gold', 'Roxanne', 'Message in a Bottle'.....

Who else has written a classic pop song about an affair between a schoolgirl and a teacher?? ;D

"her friends are, so jealous, you know how bad girls get
sometimes it's not so easy, to be the teacher's pet
temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry
wet bus stop, she's waiting... his car is warm and dry...

don't stand, don't stand so close to me"

Make your money with exploitation
Make it holy illumination
Say a prayer at every station
Don't forget to ask for mercy
Make your money with a pretty face
Make it easy with product placement
Make it charged with controversy
I'm straight, I'm queer, I'm bi

for me its noel but you could write pages of great songwriters. it also depends what the lyrics mean to you personally. i don't like radiohead's sound but the meaning is there. it also depends whether you want you music tinged with happiness,sadness,irony,a political message etc etc A lot of people go on about the political messages from bands like U2 and Coldplay. but IMO there best songs have been love songs (U2 With or Without You/Coldplay Yellow,Shiver)

Ok, people seem to question a few things regarding the choices so let me explain a few things

The Beatles aren't a choice simply because I thought that cause the voting to be a landslide and I wanted it to be a bit more even.

Sting is on there because of his work with The Police and his earler solo work.

Dylan isn't on there simply because I wanted it to focus more so on English songwriters. My fault for not explaining that.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
