An exercise in opinions...

[Nightvision]

First things first, this is not an awards thread, so don't throw things at me!

I'm just curious as to what everyone's opinion is on which songwriters are good - what sort of song you like, that sort of thing - then maybe we'll all learn something about one another... :)

User whose lyrics you feel are technically the best: Uh... Zep's are pretty good, but Disco Dragon gets this from me.
User whose lyrics you enjoy reading the most: I think it's A_Perfect_Sonnet, although theredwonder is frigging good, too.
Best critter: Morrissey, for sheer volume and quantity of crits - how you find the time, I'll never know.
Best song on these boards: erk. The only one that really springs to mind without trawling back through the boards is 'The Globe' by APS, I reckon. Man, that song was good.
