I was reading the Dylan post and it got me thinking. There are many great songwriters that come to mind, my expertise/knowledge is primarily with rock music. If you could only pick three, what would they be? My vote for best lyrics goes to:

Jim Morrison
Bruce Springsteen
Elvis Costello

Best music goes to:

Mark Knopfler
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Frank Zappa

LAURIE ANDERSON has best lyrics I've ever heard.

There is no best music at all -- there is the only music.
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention 2 other best rock-poets:
David Byrne, Pete Sienfield.
