The failing New York Times published an unranked list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters. Includes Young Thug & Bad Bunny but no Ye or even Eminem. (archive.is)

Are Sting, Peter Gabriel, Sam Harris and Seal dead or is this more selective millennial/zoomer zeitgeist listings?

And of course, actual talented song writers such as Jökull Júlíusson get no mention.

Also, Smokey Robinson is still alive? Kind of shocked at that one.

At least Willie Nelson made the list.

Sting? Isn't he British? It's just Americans, eh?

Ah okay... that would make sense. I thought they meant writing songs for American markets or produced in America, since Bad Bunny is on the list. Is he even actually American?

Puerto Rico is a territory of the US.

Isn't he from Puerto Rico? If so, that counts as American, like Guam eh? It's an American territory or protectorate.

Someone else also mentioned he's from Puerto Rico; I have no idea, as I'm only familiar with him through headlines that appear when I open a browser, and it's always something about him engaging in some kind of anti-American faggotry.

However, if he is from Puerto Rico or an American-owned island... then I guess it's fair enough for him to be included in the list.
