Jukkin Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I posted this really as an opportunity to place Page/Plant in the rankings of great rock songwriting partnerships. I'm thinking it may be a bit of an interesting discussion point. My choices in descending order: Lennon/McCartney Page/Plant Jagger/Richards (placed third because after listening to nothing but Zeppelin boots for the last six months, seriously, I can state that no matter how many times you hear a song, it never gets old.) Elton John/Taupin Rossi/Frost (Older Brits especially will relate to these but I just think they penned a lot of classic rock songs. Status Quo are not well known in the USA but are practically a British institution) Bear in mind all of these composers wrote alone too but are best known for their songwriting partnerships. Page/Plant are probably the most interesting as Jimmy's affinity with hard rock/blues complemented Roberts more.......mythic tastes, so a blend of those two sources have given us a number of nearly perfect classic rock songs. I only put them at #2 because I feel I would have to commit seppuku if Lennon/Mac was not placed at #1. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The BeeGee's could write a cracking good song. They wrote for other artists too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
