Classic songwriters

Since i've been a fan of The Who for 45 years now, that's my vote but I don't deny the talent of the others.

Jagger/Richards for me..I have no use for the Beatles or The Who..

But you've also pointed out the basic flaw in the original post of Classic Songwriting TEAMS. So let's blame Uncle Sax on this one. BURN HIM!! BURN THE WITCH!!!

I always assumed Daltrey had more of a hand in the lyrics, but I am no expert. I was more going for Britain's Big 3 kinda angle.

Aerosmith were waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more metal - than The Who -
Did The Eagles collaberate with one another - or was that seperate credits ?
I always thought they put together some quality lps over the years -

For your penance, say 3 Hail Marys and listen to Pretty Boy Floyd's Leather Boys With Electric Toys all the way through. And don't let it happen again.

I already do that most days [one of my fav albums]. Make me listen to GNR or watch a documentary on the Nuge. That would be f'in torture.

I just wanted you to feel a little remorse for your mistake. I wasn't advocating crucifixion.

Thx MG. I really AM a decent guy. Going to the PBF section directly.

There really isn't a "team" when you're talking about The Who, it's primarily Pete Townsend and an occasional song by John Entwhistle.  Daltry was "the singer".  

Exactly. That's why I'm a bit confused about this thread. I love the Who and own all their studio albums, and I know Daltrey only wrote like four songs or so, maybe one or two of those with Townsend, so if this is about songwriting team in a band, I'm kind of scratching my head here because they were never a team like Lennon/McCartney of Jagger/Richards. Uncle Saxon please clarify.

Don Henley and Glenn Frey were the main songwriters for the Eagles, but they weren't a team in the Lennon/McCartney or Jagger/Richards sense as they often wrote songs together with both other band members and outsiders - Jackson Browne and JD Souther were frequent collaborators.

I just made a false assumption that Daltrey was/is more involved in the songwriting.

Only in here would you get chastised, most people don't know and end up voting for their favorite group.
