Ooh, great shout on Carole King! She wrote a bunch of songs that people don't know were hers, and of course Tapestry is definitely one of the best albums from the first groove on the vinyl to the last. The entire album is a masterpiece. JT is in my little HOF for sure. [br][br]

It's pretty much impossible to argue if someone wants to put John and Paul at the top for 20th century popular music, and I guess no one in this young 21st century has knocked them out of 1st place either.

For songwriting teams, I will throw Bernie Taupin and Sir Elton John into the ring for discussion. What say you, fellows (and fellowettes)? I think they have written a lot of really enjoyable and popular songs, but I am not so sure about great.
