[Wolf Boy 3,258]

Its just one magazines list, its not the gospel, not sure why some of you are having breakdowns over who isnt on it.

[MelbHawker 6,583]

[super ultra 878]

[Bellatrix 34,811]

All pressed souls in here

Relax a bit please. It's just a few peoples opinion.

[AbuHassan1992 766]

the fact that some people here get tight over BOB DYLAN being number one, and wanting Beyonce to be ont he list. Expand your musical horizons please it will do you some good

[Echo 327]

Not ya'll acting like Eminem is not a great song writer, ya'll stay bitter for no reason

[bionic 50,107]

yea about murdering and raping women and beating them up

You don't understand his ARTPOP.

Guys remember this article has no impact at all.

This does however:

 

Eminem deserves to be on that list btw.

The Contemporary Icon Award was established in 2015 to recognize songwriter-artists who attained an iconic status in pop culture.

That award has nothing to do with the quality of songwriting.

[Jjang 2,262]

Tupac, Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill and Freddie Mercury should be there.

I know ****ing right.  I grew up to the sound of his music (because my sister is obsessed with him) and I get chills just thinking about his music, let alone listening to it..

the lack of knowledge of musical history showing through many responses in this thread.

I see your being pressed and I raise you these lyrics:

I feel good, I walk alone
But then I trip over myself and I fall
I, I stand up, and then I'm okay

[Riot Poof 2,236]

No Tori Amos?!?!  What a crock.  Her style is so perplexed and whimsical, you would have to know what she was singing about through interviews or familiar with her past.  Her technique is unmatched.

Rolling Stone is always paying her dust. They never include her in any of their lists (as far as I know). 

It's nice to see another Tori Amos fan here tho.  You might be one of the few members on here to get the reference in my username.

The Contemporary Icon Award was established in 2015 to recognize songwriter-artists who attained an iconic status in pop culture.

That award has nothing to do with the quality of songwriting.

Are you going to get into the tiniest detail of a description of an award title to investigate whether it reflects Gaga's talent or not? Because everyone gets the same general impression except for you, that is this award recognizes both Gaga's iconic status in pop culture but also her song-writing ability. This award was conferred by the SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME.   The description however said "songwriter-artists who attained..." meaning that recipients of this award had to attain the status in pop culture by way of SONGWRITING.

Anyway, even if Gaga didn't get that award we all know how talented she is in writing her own music.
