Even if you aren't an Elton John fan it is hard to argue too much with Bernie Taupin. I guess the question is about the past 20 years.
20 years..that takes us from between 1988 and now and it is hard to name too many song writers with a vast known body of work where people think of them as songwriters apart from any music they also play (ie Lennon and McCartney)
Then you have the question of what you mean by writing a song..the lyrics or the tune or both?
I have always thought Daryl Hall is one heck of a lyricist ..even if Hall and Oates may not be somebody's bag. However, that doesn't fit in 20 years much either.
