Carole King is one of my favourite song writers, not strictly a songwriter but more accurately a composer and performer. I saw her concert in the park a couple of years ago and boy she still has it.
Obviously Lennon & McCartney together and as solo writers.
Jon Anderson of Yes. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Roger Hodgeson of Supertramp. and many more.
I'd like to see every ones choice, please add.
George John Paul

Hmmm, been sitting here staring at a blank "write message" box for a good 5 mins, I don't think I could name one artist as a favorite - my tastes ebb and flow too much to narrow it down to one. I also find age has changed my tastes (I used to hate when I was a teen and my mum would put on John Denver or Neil Diamond, now I find them ok). But apart from the ones listed above, Bruce Springsteen, John Foxx, Deep Purple, Rick Wakeman (although more as a music writer than songwriter), Bernie Taupin (with Elton John) ... in fact, I applaud anyone who's written a song - it's not always an easy thing to do!!
Cheers
Richard
[edit] ask me next week and my list will be different

Thanks for the mention!!
Every songwriter posted so far are my favs
In my moments of narcissism away from offending other people and alone with my lack of taste a fav is listening to songs written by a private fav.
George and Ira Gershwin
Now my secret is out I hope you don’t read this. LOL
Pedr, I remember seeing Porgy and Bess at my local flee pit when I was 14. Me and my mate walked out after 10 minutes and got our money back. I appreciate Gershwin music more now but not jazzed up.
Richard. I know what you mean. I don't think I'll ever go off my previous choice, but some of the named writers would also be on my list.
Jim, I agree with all your choices, they're names I would have posted myself but I was tired at the time...
Brian. Ringo also did some crackers too. Thanks for the mention, I wasn't hinting by the way.
Grah. I admit I don't know Warren Zevon, the others aren't my bag but wouldn't it be boring if we all liked the same music?
Phill , Warren wrote Werewolves of London a song that I'm sure you have heard ,but his other songs are also terrific and sometimes different .
Grah I love that song. I'll have to make a point of looking him up. Thanks
