Lennon and McCartney wrote very few songs together, especially after 1964/65. I wouldn't count them as a duo unless you mean their very early stuff.

Jagger/Richards is one (even though I'm not much of a fan)
Lifeson/Lee/Peart (though that's three)
Who did Garcia write with? A lyricist whose name I can't remember.

 

[bdegrande]

Lennon/McCartney
Tilbrook/Difford (Squeeze)
Partridge/Moulding (XTC)

Who did Garcia write with? A lyricist whose name I can't remember.

That would be Robert Hunter.

The guys from Squeeze are good, but their catalog is too thin.

A better way to phrase the original question would have been:

"Not counting Lennon/McCartney, who are your top two songwriting duos?"

My answer would be:

Page/Plant

and

I don't know.



Some of my favorite solo writers:

Jason Mraz
John Denver

The Beatles - pick any combo you'd like.
