Definitely more great instrument players than there are great songwriters. This guy, Jay Farrar is one of them:

This is an idiotic thread.
There is no such thing as a “best songwriter”.
If you like a song, it’s a well-written song. Period.
I mean, what if a person actively dislikes the songs of a celebrated songwriter like Gordon Lightfoot? Is he a good songwriter to that guy?
P.S. The new trend to praise Prince as the best at everything is absolutely cringeworthy.
Prince was a thing for my generation. His success predominantly is the result of perhaps four songs off one or two albums.
First it was him performing a good guitar solo on a bandwagon YouTube video, from which every know-nothing yelps, He’s the greatest guitarist ever!
Now it’s spilled over to include him as the best EVERYTHING of all time.
-
I don't think you can name just one... several are tied for number one hits like Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson,
I like Gordon but I think Neil Diamond wrote more hits and bigger hits.
Bee Gees seemed like they could write a hit at the drop of a hat.
McCartney/Lennon has to be mentioned in any songwriting discussion.
Brian Wilson, Springsteen, Paul Simon etc... so many great writers.

Desmond Child has quite a catalog

Their early stuff was also a lot of covers from people like The Isley Brothers and Chuck Berry,Little Richard,etc etc.

I recall watching a documentary on them years ago and the number of hit songs they'd written and produced for other artists was impressive.

it's my fav of hers
love this verse
When the jazzman is signifyin', and the band is windin' low
It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near
late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
my darkness comes out when i want to touture evil fucks very dark indeed but they deserve it ;)

Beside Steve Harris et all
I'd have to say the two best song writers would be Tonetta and Reh Dogg
Tonetta - Let me be your Drain Tonight
Reh Dogg - Why must i cry
Bonus
Vennu Mallesh - It's My Life Whatever I Wanna Do
Juelz Santana - Black Republican

I like the original question no matter how it was phrased. We seem to all agree there is no "best Song writer". The internet lists Dylan as "The best" I disagree only because I am me. While I acknowledge him as a good song writer, and well respected, an example of stellar song writing is Joan Baez' Diamonds and Rust, pointing out Dylan was a user. And does volume or quality make the best song writer. For example, Janis Ian who wrote a phenomenal song that resonated with a decade of people (At Seventeen) and won a grammy for it, was inspired by Don McLeans "Vincent" a masterpiece in and of itself. Either of these singer songwriters could easily be in the mix save their number of hits... It's a fascinating discussion... But I think the best answer to "Who is the best songwriter?" is
There isn't a best and that translates into a great thing for us
-
Stevie Wonder was mentioned but yes.
Barring hits, the list, this thread... I'd love to hear your favorite Singer/songwriters

Was about to go to sleep and Rocket Man came on.. and It got me thinking.. How could I have missed Taupin/John? So I am adding them to the mix
The fact Bernie sends his lyrics to Elton with no notes, and Elton interprets them into the hits they are, is pretty phenomenal.

They are back together again and working on a new album.

Most were mentioned in this thread. If I were in the entertainment industry I would would want to only write songs, not perform them. Let someone else go on world tours and wear their asses out while I sit at home and write. Same with the movie industry.

Barry Manilow. He writes the songs that makes the young girls cry. He writes the songs, he writes the songs.
;D

Billy Joe Shaver was telling a story once.He was in Nashville and he found out where Hank Cochran lived so he road his motorcycle to Hanks house and drove right up into the yard and he got off and started yelling Cochran Cochran! So Hank comes to the door and Billy Joe yells “Some say you’re the greatest country songwriter some say I am. I say you come out here and we will settle this man to man!”
Well Hank says “I got a better idea how bout you come inside and we’ll drink some whiskey “
Billy Joe said “Ok”
And they were friends from them on.

Barry Manilow. He writes the songs that makes the young girls cry. He writes the songs, he writes the songs.
Ironically, of all the hits Barry Manilow wrote, I think this one was written by a member of the Beach Boys

It's Ice Cube.
Nobody has come close to this level of genius:
Eight o'clock on the dot, nigga's hot
Dick hard as a rock
Straight on a solo creep
Can't wait till her little boy go to sleep
So you can seduce the G
Bust a nut and make an excuse to leave
You got her worked out 'cause you the man
But the bitch got different plans
She said "Take off your clothes, jump in the bed"
While she powder her nose
You get butt naked, 'cause you ready to wreck it!
'Cause you's a motherfuckin' pro, next thing you know
The door flies open with a blast
With four niggas in ski masks
Pointin' a gun at the pimp
You're scared as a guy and Jimmy done went limp
They beat you down just a taste
Take ya to your house and make ya open up the safe
Drove you far, tied up in the trunk of your own fuckin' car
Take you out and pop the cap
I told you the bitch was a trap
Don't trust 'em!
