Heya Ben,

First, I would take L & M, Dylan & perhaps Springsteen and Paul Simon and make them ineligible...They were/are all freakish.

I'd have to mention Randy Newman who, over a career that began in the '60's, has offered up a wide range of not just pop, political, humorous & insightful songs, but has also successfully scored dozens of films.

Casting back, I'd go with Cole Porter. The man knew how to craft.

Satchel was right. Something is gaining on me.
