Thanks folks, most of the responses were favorite songwriters. It's impossible to call some "The Best", but that's what my question was all about. You can't truely call someone "the best". Here's what I'm using so far. I may have to narrow it down further. Genre doesn't matter. A song writer is a song writer. I'm looking at 109 years of songwriting.
This is based on longevity and number of hit songs written. This list isn't in any particular order.
Dylan
Paul Simon
Lennon & MCcartney
Cole Porter
Bacharach & David
Irving Berlin
Hoagy Carmichael
Gordon Lightfoot
Harlan Howard
Johnny Mercer
George Gershwin/ Oscar Levant (not mentioned)
Leiber & Stoller
Jimmy Webb
Guy Clark
Rodgers & Hammerstein
Rogers & Hart (not mentioned)
John Phillip Sousa (not mentioned)

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
