Is Dave a great Songwriter?

[sunglassesatnight]

I had to go with no on this. Is he a good songwriter? yes. But great, no. I don't think he is anywhere near the top tier of greatest songwriters of all time. He's probably not even in the top five in the last twenty years.

Flame away.

You're not wrong.

I did vote yes on this one.

I don't think I'd put Dave as being one of the greats of all time, in fact I know I wouldn't. But when I looked at this poll, I was taking a look at alot of the other artists that are still doing alot of music these days. I might be missing out on alot of wonderful artists, this is very possible, but with the sort of stuff the mainstream seems to constantly shove down my throat, I had to vote yes. Compared to alot of the stuff I've heard lately, which is mostly punk-rock or pop/dance music, Dave is a great songrwriter.

I agree with that, i think all these emo bands that are spawning over night suck ass. such as cartel, panic at the disco, say anything, ect.... my friends all listen to this shit and i cant stand it. it all sounds the same and they have such whining voices. if you compare dave to this emo crap that is so popular for some god forsaken reason, he is a god. i think kids even my age and def the younger ages dont appreciate instruments and good music all they listen to is vocals and catchy lyrics. i dont know to many people my age (19) or younger that truly appreciates classic bands and even good music today.[/b]

how come every time you come around
my londy londy bridge wanna go down
my londy londy londy
wannga go down like
londy londy londy

or....

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them I'm not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done

just made me think... this kid i was talking to in the elevator up to my dorm room was like "dmb sux" then his cell phone rang and that fergy song was his ring tone

Well that just depends on your definition of the word "great" then. Your taking great as "THE greatest," or one of.

one of the best ever? no, one of the best of my time? probably definitely up there
