Liked that Dylanesque Album, I'd also put Brian Ferry in as a cool songwriter along with Brian Eno, this is a pretty wierd song by Roxy Music but emphasizes how innovative they were.
YouTube - Roxy Music - In Every Dream Home a Heartache
A couple more that spring to mind are Peter Gabriel and Suzanne Vega. Tom's Diner is a favourite of mine.

Nice one Noodler, I like that, nice feelgood song and that kid made a good job of his video, very literal, made me smile.
A guy I like a lot is Ryan Adams (American alt.country singer/songwriter) been listening to his album "29" recently - Strawberry Wine is a great track (not the one done by that country singer woman, which is perhaps better known).

In the same vein, it would be a crime to omit James Taylor and Harry Chapin. Jim Croce too.

Here's one of the new kids on the block Ne Yo, does Hip hop R&B etc., started off as a Songwriter written stacks of hits and for the last couple of years he's been doing his own songs, not everyones cup of tea but I like his style. This is one of my favourites. catchy

I was going to mention Paul Simon, and from an Australian perspective I think Midnight Oil and Paul Kelly have written some great lyrics.

 Saw an interview with the lead singer, he was asked what his lyrics meant his answer was nothing they're complete Bull etc. you kind of hear what you want to hear with them they are pretty cool though.
Thanks for the heads up on Josh Ritter Carol and Doug he's very good enjoyed listening to him
