Black Francis

 

[GO]

He's alright.Would'nt say he's in the same league as Ray Davies but.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Love Ray Davies as well.

I'm struggling to think of just one person. Who does it all. Constantly.

I love Jagger & Richards together, but not on their own. Same with Lennon & McCartney. And Morrissey doesn't write the music.

There's loads who have written great songs but also lots of dross Neil Young, Kate Bush, Dylan, Bowie, Prince

 

[GO]

Yeah,I was kinda trying to just focus on the non stop killers.Like yer right,Bowie has a few tunes alright,but he aint no Ray Davies.

Unfortunately not.I wonder how Ray would fair if given 12 hours to write a tune.
Actually if his last lp is anything to go by,he'd be shite.
