Those are composers, not songwriters. Songs have words.


Huh?

Many of their compositions have lyrics.

Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" for example.

Regardless as to technical definition of the word "song," I do not believe anyone will eclipse them for mastery of the musical form.

It is like comparing an old masters painting to Picasso. Which is better, it is in the eye of the beholder.

Fair enough, but which required more skill: writing "Yesterday" or Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9?"

People today pretty much ignore classical music, which is a damned shame.

Skill is totally different from artistic talent and passion. It takes both to produce a masterpiece. 3D printers have amazing ability (skill) to build things. Does that mean that they are better artists than the humans that program them?

What kind of a lame weirdo sport is this. Are the prizes in hundreds of dollars? LOL

This is the kind of thing that nobody takes into account when they predict a future where we are running out of food like they did in the seventies. It was all doom and gloom and by 2000 the world was going to be starving to death. That would have been true if we had stood still and not improved our methods of growing food. Most places in the world now have an abundance of food because of technology.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
