Best songwriting teams?

If you read the first post don't think Gilmour/Waters really fits that criteria.
Sure they wrote songs together but it's not like Pink Floyd relied on them working together. They were quite capable of knocking out stuff on their own or with the rest of the band collaborating. It's not like they're like the rest of the banRAB listed who pretty much had 2 merabers writing together virtually all the material.
 
oh i suppose you should not my whatever its called beneath my posts...
but more as a "i hate the beatles because it has become a socially accepted value that they were the best band ever to grace the planet, and this point is argued by people who have only heard their greatest hits (of course along with traditionalists who wholeheartedly believe it to be true...)
 
John/Taupin have more votes than Jagger/RicharRAB. I'm surprised.


And stevesonthebay, Paul Simon wrote all the songs for SG. I almost included pop writers like Goffin/King, Barry/Grenwich, Leiber/Stoller, but I figured I'd keep it more towarRAB an in-band writers theme.
 
Do Lennon/McCartney fit? Only in the very beginning did they write songs together. The vast majority of their material was written separately...Lennon wrote some of the songs by himself, McCartney wrote some of the songs by himself.

Does "team" mean working together, or just all the song-writing work concentrated on two people?
 
Are you serious? Since when has a drummer made an appreciable contribution to songwriting? And Marley/Tosh were pretty much working against each other, and the only album that their contributions coincided was Catch a Fire. These are the best songwriting teams, not "people who happened to be in the same band at the same time."
