+1, luv their music, timeless

Haha I didn't say that! But yes they are great. Long and Winding road = epic.

+1 on Jerry Cantrell, awesome. Listening to Jar of Flies as we speak so mellow..

Oh yeah man....I have huge regrets I missed that. The guy is like a thousand, I doubt he'll make it down here again. Interestingly, the Live in London DVD has got, apparently, the exact same banter, word for word, as he did in Auckland. Perhaps that was why the show was so fantastic - the whole thing was rehearsed down to the banter!! Even the DVD is pretty amazing.

O_O WTF??!?!?!! First I've heard this. I had to go immediately and listen to Rusty Cage. Now I feel better

Tippy toppy songwriters for me (in no particular order other than me scrolling through my iTunes library):

Frank Zappa
Brian Wilson
Bob Dylan
Billy Joel
James Taylor
Prince
Brian May/Freddie Mercury
Donald Fagan/Walter Becker
Neil Finn
Tim Finn
Steve Winwood
Billy Gibbons/Dusty Hill/Frank Beard (though I suspect - without evidence - Billy actually writes most/all of it)

And a whole bunch of older composers I don't know names of, but whose songs I have done by a wide range of singers.

And probably Lennon/McCartney as well.

Legend!

Wayne Coyne aka Flaming Lips. Excellent songs and really great arrangements

Thom Yorke
Bowie
John Lydon (esp. early PIL)
Guy Picciotto / Ian MacKaye
Robert Smith
Joe Strummer
Perry Farrell
Billy Bragg
Frank Black
Shannon Hoon
Bjork
Michael Stipe
Cohen

Cohen's imagery is incredible. I admire people who can up a picture / feeling in a single phrase.
