Seems like a good idea to consider this vital area of musicianship, so I'll kick in a couple, in no particular order. These are the ones that occur to me at the moment. Tag teams (eg Strummer-Jones, Difford-Tilbrook etc) are legit, too, of course.

-Bob Dylan
-Tom Waits
-Frank Zappa, from Freak Out through to We're Only In It For The Money. After that, the focus seemed, to me, to shift away from songwriting, not that Frank ever stopped being a genius or anything.
-Don Walker, the real secret weapon in the arsenal of Australian legends Cold Chisel
-Neil Finn - Crowded House
-Mick Thomas, from my favourite ever Australian band, the still sadly missed Weddings Parties Anything
-Steve Messer - a bloke I know from Drouin, Gippsland, Victoria.
-Ray Davies
-Pete Townshend
-Graham Parker, though I haven't heard anything since the Real Macaw

also, i was listening to this song by broken social scene called "lover's spit" which talks about lovers drinking each other's spit, which is both so disgusting and beautiful at the same time, that I just loved pitting the gross against the beautiful and showing how the line is often blurred...
