User:Koala Tea Of Mercy/List of best songwriters

In 2015 Rolling Stone magazine published a list of the best 100 songwriters (including song writing teams).

In 2016 The Daily Telegraph published an alternate list of the best 100 songwriters not on the prior list.

I thought it might be interesting to see which if these 200+ people/groups do not have articles on Wikipedia so I made wikilinks out of the list and now lets see how many are redlinks that need either better redirects or possibly new articles...
