- Tori Amos (duh, she's awesome)
- Dave Matthews (damn good)

- John Mayer (great guitar skills)
- Vanessa Carlton (although, her stuff isn't really that thought-provoking, I love it as it is)

Avril and britney are the same when it comes to writing in my opinion. People write britney's songs, people writes avrils. Britney adds a few words and changes things, and so does avril. Avril's songs are just more deep in some sick little way

Fiona Apple is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. She writes all her own stuff, plays the instruments. God she deserves so much more credit than what she gets. When The Pawn.. is one of my absolute fave cds ever.
Michelle Branch is pretty good too. I have mad respect for this girl. Her cd is one of my top ones.
Kurt Cobain has to go down as one of the best songwriters ever in my book. He had a mad genius.
Brandon Boyd(of Incubus). HE is so damn creative. Well The whole band is too. Their music has evolved so much. I love them.
Tupac..Well I don't need to explain that one.
Craig David-Loved his first cd. Gosh that was a good one.
