Excuse me, I am not a dickhead!! Regarding songwriting, Hart > Mould and Cale > Reed imo. The others I have mild feelings about but I do genuinely prefer those two.
Dickhead. I am so sure!

I do think I like this Benjamin Orr album better than any of Ocasek’s solo stuff tbh

I prefer Dan Bajar to AC Newman
i don't think this is that controversial?

i don't think any of these are that controversial AND y'all called me a dickhead!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 13 September 2019 19:18 (four years ago) link
and dan bejar is pretty far from non-celebrated. actually probably currently the more zeitgeisty of the two surely?

Wow - I really shouldn't start polls after drinking.
Signed,A dickhead

My rationalization for some of these comparisons is output. Like Bejar only writes about 2 songs per NP album, right?
Oh man - I totally forgot Robert Pollard/Tobin Sprout.

ah, i suppose if you mean "strictly within the confines of the band in which they collaborate i prefer x to y" then it would be a different kettle of fish potentially

Several of those non-celebrated songwriters are super-celebrated, and "contrarian" is up there with "pretentious" and "elitist" in the "words only a buffoon would use with a straight face" stakes

John Cale famously ignored by the critics

My contrarian position is that I have no idea who half these people are and I'm not that interested in finding out.

I've never heard of Dan Bajar or AC Newman tbh.
