2018’s Songwriters Hall of Fame Stars and Songs

This past week we learned that John Mellencamp was a member of the upcoming 2018 class of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. When you think back at the songs John wrote in the 80s and 90s, it makes perfect sense to enshrine John into the Hall. Who are a few other songwriters that distinguished themselves as exceptional? Take a look at our list…

‘Lennon and McCartney’ (“Yesterday”)
‘Brian Wilson’ (“God Only Knows”)
‘Peter Gabriel’ (“In Your Eyes”)
‘Bob Dylan’ (“Like a Rolling Stone”)
‘Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ (“Satisfaction”)
‘Bruce Springsteen’ (“Born to Run”)
‘Sly Stone’ (“Dance to the Music”)
‘Sting’ (“Every Breath You Take”)
‘Don Henley and Glenn Frey’ (“Hotel California”)

Observations: This list represents the greatest songwriters of our time, and every one of these stars are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame – with the exception of two writers. Can you name them? Answer – (Peter Gabriel and Sly Stone).
