Best Song Writer
Singers are one thing, but if the song is lousy who wants to listen? I'd rather hear a competent singer sing a great song than listen to the world’s best singer sing rubbish! Don't agree with the list? Place your vote or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on.
“he shows that songs can be more than just entertainment...cause his songs has great meanings and messages that did influenced people positively and helped so many people as well,he was trying to make a change for the better...that’s who writing songs should be.SO HE IS THE BEST SONG WRITER.”

John Lennon
“And George Martin himself said in an online interview I found around 2002 said that he has worked with many different music artists but that he has never known or worked with anyone as brilliant as The Beatles!
He says in his biography All You Need Is Ears refutes that he was the one who had most to do with The Beatles music. He admits most of the ideas came from them.
And if anyone ever reads the excellent book,The Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn which is a very detailed music diary of of every recording session in their amazing only 8 year career, which has interviews with their recording engineers,tape operators,George Martin quotes,and a very good interview with Paul in the beginning,they would see how truly creative,and innovative especially John and Paul were in the recording studio and that most of these great musicial ideas came from them.
George Martin was also once inerviewed on a rock station Beatles program and he said what is clearly obvious and true, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were incredibly talented people(and he said it like he still couldn’t belive it.), they both were extrodinarily talented song composers and great singers.And notice how Ringo working with George Martin for 8 years didn’t turn him into a brilliant song writer like John and Paul,and George Martin has produced many other music artists but non of them have had as much critical acclaim,success or popularity as The Beatles!”
“the beatles generally did good on lyrics, lennon was a bit better with words, briliant in across the universe, and hapiness is a warm gun.”
“THE BEST! I LOVEE HIMM!
