Top 200 Songwriters Of All Time

Top 200 Albums Of All Time
Although RCA Victor could claim to have invented the "record album" in 1933, Columbia issued the first LP in 1949. Members were asked to choose their Top 200 based on songwriting content which means the occasional compilation!
Top 100 Musicals Of All Time
The world's first stage musical is widely considered to be "The Black Crook" which premiered in New York City on September, 1866. Even we don't remember that! Instead, we asked ISA members to nominate their own Top 100

Surprisingly few songwriters writers have penned autobiographies, while books about the art of songwriting are rare enough. However exceptional tomes exist, if you know where to look. ISA members list their Top 100 books of all time
