Alexander Smith
It's obviously this guy.
Dominic Stewart
Geezer Butler originally
Elijah Harris
Paul was a goddamn dick, and he ran out good songs very early on. Repeated a lot of the same progressions and beat the same harmonic devices to death.
George was the best Beatle and had the best solo songs.
My money is in Brian Wilson or Nick Drake.
Jonathan Wood
>the raindrops (x46)
Evan Nelson
>George was the best Beatle and had the best solo songs.
Sure thing, Pajeet.
Xavier Jackson
Nigger, I'm the other type of Indian- the red kind.
George's Indian training helped him move from the blues and tin pan alley cliches that the Beatles were stewed in. Paul might've been a goddamn Mozart, if he had proper training.
Jose Rivera
For me, it's this slippery jew.
Austin Williams
>Complains about repetition
>Praises Nick Drake
Hmm
Camden Hill
In each song, sure, especially on "Pink Moon", but across the span of his entire catalog? Little to none. U r dum dum
Xavier Harris
Harrison was the best Beatle by far, especially when it came to his solo career. His Indian influences made his music really unique and My Sweet Lord is one of the best spiritual songs out there
Dominic Ross
Hell yeah, user. Y'got a discord?
Jonathan Cruz
Justin Warfield
Dude ghost wrote for a shit ton of rappers and rock bands in the 90s.
Blake Allen
Bob Dylan is really overrated imo . Probably Brian Wilson or Leonard Cohen
Colton Smith
And somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed thru the canyon like
The disappearing dreams of yesterday
Brayden Watson
-there are two categories of songwriters-
1. good at writing songs for the masses
2. good at writing songs that push art forward

this motherfucker is from sweden and he wrote 22 billboard number 1s, starting with britney spears' "baby one more time"; his net worth is 250mil
pop songwriting is actually hard as SHIT, you're balancing between sounding familiar enough so that people dont change their radio station but different enough so that u dont sound like corny pop trash. a lot of his success probably DOES have to do with the fact that he has connections or whatever but you can tell he crafted an extremely good formula for making hits that he followed and modified throughout the years
if it was really that easy to write pop songs anyone would do it and make millions

this guy got sick and ran into a cabin in the woods and randomly released an album as an unknown with little to no publicity that kept circulating around and every songwriter realized how good he was and now he's made it (modern day nick drake)
Sebastian Gutierrez
Gotta go with the man himself
Brandon Collins
I just recently started to understand piano improvisation, and tonight I felt what I am guessing is inspiration. Does a song generally start with a melody, lyrics, or a mental "frame"?
Liam Cruz
You've reminded me of this video hooktube.com
Samuel Ramirez
John was the only one worth remembering but go ahead and cock worship a guy just because he's the richest musician you could think of.
Adrian King
Well the prince of rock, Buddy Holly
Brandon Diaz
It depends on the person, but melody almost always comes first.
Adrian Morris
unlike paul, these two kids actually wrote good music.
Evan Stewart
Brian Wilson is a genius and even Paul McCartney admits it
