Wow, ever is a long time. I am just going to stick with the rock era, (although no one has mentioned Gershwin) and say that although Lennon & MCCartney are probably the ones all others are measured against, My favorite is Roger Waters. Something about his lyrics touch me, and really, isn't that what music is all about?
