You can base it on your personal preference, whether by song writing or by most popular songs or whatever. In no particular order:

Paul Simon
Phil Collins
Elton John
James Taylor
Bob Dylan
Paul McCartney
Billy Joel
John Lennon

Billy Joel and James Taylor I hate

Paul Simon has always been the epitome of the pretentious phony Dylan imitator to me. Some of his lyrics ("You with your Emily Dickinson, and I my Robert Frost") actually make me LOL. I can tolerate a few things of his ("Mrs Robinson").

Phil Collins is too meh to hate. His voice range is so limited it has to be double tracked, flanged, and otherwise modified.

I like a handful of Elton John tracks ("Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting"), but mostly meh.

Dylan, Lennon, and McCartney are awesome

Lennon/McCartney (and to a lesser extent Dylan) tower over all the others

Not bad, but I would flipflop Simon/McCartney and Collins/Taylor.

I'd group Lennon, McCartney & Dylan together as the three that stand way atop this crowd...

I'd then have the next three of Simon, John and Joel (much to most of my friends dismay)

Finally, I dont have much time for Collins and Taylor...

I understand ranking him lower for not writing his own songs but he has so many classics I don't understand how you can think he's meh

a bicephalic entity?

We´re ranking as INDIVIDUAL artists.

Melvin, who said Elton John doen´t write his music? He doesn´t write the lyrics.
