Best Answer

Toss up between Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.

Paul is excellent, but if you ask HIM, he will say BOB. And if you ask BOB he wont say PAUL. He will likely go with John Prine or maybe Gordon Lightfoot, and both of these, as well as 9 out of 10 of the top songwriters, including John Prine, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, Bono, McCartney and many more will all answer the same thing: BOB.

So I rest my case.

Bach's great contemporary, George Philip Telemann, has often been called the most prolific composer of all time.

The most prolific musician was Tyagarajah of South India, reputed to have composed 100,000 songs of which 30,000 (10 times more than Teleman) are known today and some are played at every major concert. Teleman today is totally forgotten.
