Top 100 Songwriters
Of All Time


     
Members of the International Songwriters Association Hall Of Fame were first inducted in June 1981. Uniquely, members are elected only by fellow songwriters worldwide. Here are the Top 100, chosen by songwriters from the Hall Of Fame

Top 100 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 have picked their Top 100, based on songwriting content, and that 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

Top 100 Soundtracks
Of All Time


     
Quentin Tarantio once said "I always thought my soundtracks do pretty good because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home". With that in mind, our members picked their own Top 100

Top 100 Music Movies
Of All Time


     
While 1927's "The Jazz Singer" is not entirely a "music movie" in the contemporary sense as it primarily focuses on a narrative story, still it showed the future not just of cinema but also popular music. This is our own personal Top 100

Top 100 Songwriting
Books Of All Time


     
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
