Pete Doherty: Greatest Songwriter of His Generation?

The Golden Miller

Was never a huge Doherty, Libertines or Babyshambles fan, quite the opposite, overlooked them for years. Heard most of the albums and was never blown away. Then came across a Babyshambles b-side, "Beg, Steal or Borrow" and the lyrics sort of struck me. Went back through alot of his back catalogue, and purely from a lyrics point of view, this guy is amazing. Strip a song back, give him an acoustic guitar, put him up against any other songwriter and tell them to come up with an original song, and he'll best them imo. It's a shame his talent has been overlooked in favour of a mutilated media personality. The guy is a genius

Elton John is one of the greatest lyricists ever. Even if you don't like his music which I think was great especially in the early 80's, he is one artist who when he sings I pay attention to the lyrics where otherwise I'd ordinarily pay more attention to the melody, which is the most important part of course.

Lost art of murder is a great acoustic track I remember from him.

Shotter's Nation is a genuinely good album.

I haven't really kept up with his career though, he seemed to fade into obscurity in recent yrs.
