Is this a white list?
I read it's about pop/rock songwriters... Where's Holland/Dozier/Holland, Whitfield/Strong, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Hayes/Porter, Al Green and of course many others. Those people wrote a lot of the best pop songs ever.

Any list that draws up the best songwriters but neglects to include Ray Davies simply does not deserve to exist, let alone be taken seriously.

Obviously a silly list; but they all are. And we still discuss them here, haha..
But I have to get that obligatory self-distancing in first.
To have Queen at 3 rd place is just factually wrong. Could we not say that? How did their song catalogue impact our society, our decades? "Bohemian" is the only song that is part of today's culture.
Springsteen, Floyd, Dylan,Young, Brian Wilson, Zep, P. Simon and Bowie, and of course J/R all are so much more part of our world.
And I like Freddy a lot; don't mind Queen at all.
