When Mariah has the same age as most of people in the list?

I'm not on about Mariah I'm on about other talented writers of our generation .. so you're telling me taylor is the only person in the world of our generation who deserves to be here

[Achilles.]

I haven't made it past Kanye yet (80s) but I'm feeling like this list will be the typical ageist, sexist, rock music elitist trite that RS usually puts out.


Taylor making it in spite of these facts just goes to show how respected She is as an artist.

Predictable

Kanye at 84 when he barely wrote anything in his lifetime. The Jesus walks reference...

By the way, RS has always been ****** so I don't get why you give it so much credit.

[MasterOfMuppets]

For the 100 Greatest Songwriters Of All Time it largely is very comprehensible and realistic. Its not the newcomer or 2015 pop or pop girl list. So i dont see it ageist or sexist or something like that.

Ffff where is Nas

Rolling Stone must stop their deliberate snubbing of the chanteuse. So transparent.

Rolling stone is so biased though they include the same artists every single issue and never give credit to new artists it's a joke

I mean congrats on everyone making the list but seriously no mariah? Her song writing is incredible

I personally think Rolling stone is ageist

Why would they put new artists on an all-time list though?

Ooooh and where is Amy W

PLEASE, are the likes of Kate Bush considered pop girls or newcomers? The list is extremely sexist, but the industry is sexist so...

JAY Z - 68



The 2nd Highest Rapper After Biggie! SALUTE

No hip-hop artist has reached the Billboard Top Ten more times than Jay Z, and none has done more to shape both the culture and music around him. His most indelible songs — "Izzo (Hova)," "99 Problems," "Big Pimpin'" — mix diamond-sharp rhymes with unshakable hooks. As he notes himself, in the late Nineties and early 2000s, it wasn't summer without a Jay Z hit blasting out of every car window. Recent highpoints like the Kanye West collaboration "Otis" and 2013's "Picasso Baby" show that no number of lunches with Warren Buffet or late-night diaper-duty emergency calls can slow down his de Vinci flow and Sinatra roll. He began writing as a childhood hobby — authoring, as he later recalled, "100,000 songs before I had as record deal." Over the years, his recording-booth ability to conjure intricate verses out of thin air has become legend, but he's a also master of fitting the right lyric to the right musical mood: "I try to feel the emotion of the track and try to feel what the track is talking about, let that dictate the subject matter," he has said. "The melody comes second, and then the words."

I think it's tragic that Kate Bush isn't on the list, but to call the list sexist???

Joni Mitchell? Carole King? Dolly Parton? Stevie Nicks? Madonna? Chrissie Hynde? Patti Smith? Loretty Lynn? Lucinda Williams? Björk? Valerie Simpson? Cynthia Weill? Missy Elliott? Taylor Swift?
They're female!

I miss Kate Bush, Alanis Morissette, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Amy Winehouse too... but this list isn't sexist!

I didn't say the list is perfect. Kate Bush clearly is missing, I fully agree. And there are other artists who should be on it. But thats not a reason to call it sexist imo.

[Monster Boy]

Where's Mariah?

[Marq]

Kate Bush and Fiona Apple aren't on here?

[ArtForFreedom]

Queen of Pop yes
