For me the answer has always been the same. Dylan.

no way to answer without some kind of genre-specification


also, does songwriter exclude "composers" or mostly non-lyrical musicians?





edit: 

i'll take a stab here


dylan, woody guthrie, john hartford, garcia/hunter/weir, david byrne, shannon hoon, jeff buckley, honus honus, kaki king, joanna newsom, andrew bird


i really like magnolia electric co. (haven't heard all the songs: ohia stuff or molina's solo) but wouldn't consider molina to be one of the greatest song writers.  powerful, yes, often.

Yea they were just honorable mentions. They both have certain songs that are very powerful though. Elliott however was just a god.

But no im talking pure songwriting here.
