Out of that list I'd say The Beatles, Lennon & MaCartney definitely the best song writers of the 20th Century. Personally I would choose The Smiths, just look at the amount of amazing songs they released in a relatively short time ( 82-87 ), Imagine how much better they could have become if they had managed to sort out their differences. Marr & Morrissey are probs only 2nd to the aforementioned pair, the only reason I would choose The Smiths over The Beatles would be for the fact that alot of The Beatles early stuff is very 'poppy' and not my taste in music. 'The Queen is Dead' is probably my favourite album of all time too.
