Paul McCartney and ...( 4 months ago by powerslim)
Paul McCartney and Elton John have both giving verbal testamonies as to their respect for Pete Doherty as one of greatest writers alive. Sir Paul actually requested to be interviewed by Doherty. He had been so impressed to the point he wanted to arrange meeting Pete this way. There's your two greatest British lyricists and songwriters and if they respect the man's abilities .....nuff said.

The fact you think ...( 4 months ago by 219970)
The fact you think Elton John is a great british lyricist shows your complete ignorance about music. He couldn't write lyrics to save his life. That's why he brought in B. Taupin to do it - he wrote ALL the lyrics and Elton John the music. Macca? Yes, better, but he only wrote simple love songs (although v well) whereas Lennon tried to be more challenging with imagery etc (after meeting Dylan). The fact you also ignore the Smiths, Kinks, Stones, Who, Zep, Bowie, Roses etc etc is a total joke
In linguistics, " ...( 4 months ago by powerslim)
In linguistics, "and" is a grammaticle particle, a word (conjunction)lacking a strict definition but has the function of changing the relation of the parts of the sentence to one another: "lyricist and songwriter"
The fact you don't understand this pretty much renders your reply a complete time-waster (see: What A Waster). The fact that I ignored Smiths, Kinks, etc., is the collective catalogs of successful works by McCartney and Elton John are simply unequaled by those you've named.
To further vouch ...( 4 months ago by powerslim)
To further vouch for Pete Doherty's immense talent, Clash guitarist, songwriter, and producer Mick Jones also sought out Doherty on the merits of his songwriting desiring to produce his work. Mick Jones is an architect of one of the great movements of British music and he has the utmost respect for Doherty as an artist. Until you can produce credentials qualifying yourself with Sir Paul, Elton John, and Mick Jones(just to name a few)your criticisms just don't seem to carry any weight at all.
As far as your ...( 4 months ago by 219970)
As far as your fumbling attempt to educate me is concerned, "catalogue" has an "e" and "unequalled" two "ls". Your line "there is your two greatest lyricists and songwriters" - should be "there are", since "lyricistS" and "songwriterS" is plural and you use "they" at the end, which is also plural. Your argument about "successful back catalogs (sic)" makes the mistake of assuming big sales = good music. I am sure the Spice Girls outsold Mozart, but I don't think the former have the same talent.
For every good to ...( 4 months ago by 219970)
For every good to great artist, I could find examples of other artists' praise - e.g. Townsend rated the Roses' drummer as the best since Moon. Your musical taste seems limited to Elton and Paul and you justify this purely on musical sales, yet by your own logic, Doherty himself is insignificant since his album sales are relatively small. You come over as incredibly arrogant and intellectually pretentious - yet, as demonstrated below, you can't spell simple words yet erroneously lecture others.

Peter seems so depressed here, and that horrible woman just keeps shoveling away trying to bury him in negative shit. I wish he didn't do these interviews ; the press so enjoys trying to eat him alive. Just do your thing, Pete, you make great music and we love you.
