I'm hoping your question about TS was rhetorical .... :) unless one is into bimbos . --== Anne … -----Original Message----- Hey, what's wrong with Taylor Swift? Surprisingly we don't see Stephen Foster or Irving Berlin there, and it's greatest songwriters "of All Time", right? What are they, chopped liver? Foster, 1826-1864, the first professional songwriter, is especially notable because people are still singing and recording some of his sings more than 150 years later. Oh! Susannah, Camptown Races, Old Folks at Home (Swanee River), My Old Kentucky Home, Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, Hard Times Come Again No More, Beautiful Dreamer. Joe Brennan Back to top

The whole thing is subjective. OK, so are we - we have a bias in favour of the Bee Gees. But their appearance at the bottom of the poll demonstrates a total lack of understanding of their music, doesn't it? --== Anne . -----Original Message----- From: words@brothersgibb.com [mailto:words@brothersgibb.com] On Behalf Of My destiny Sent: September 1, 2015 3:11 PM To: words List Member Subject: [words] Doo Dah Rolling Stone probably thinks of Fosters songs as a bunch of old foaggy Doo-dah, Doo-dah.

Sigh… >we don't see Stephen Foster or Irving Berlin there, and it's >greatest >songwriters "of All Time", right? What are they, chopped liver?
