Certainly one of the greatest songwriting duos of all time: Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller. I'd say after Chuck Berry they were the most determinant songwriters of the 50s.
Key Tracks: There Goes My Baby, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, Stand By Me, Kansas City, etc.

And, of course, I won't miss criticizing Page & Plant for being the most overrated songwriters ever (one should always have in mind that although they certainly are one of the absolute greatest bands ever and their songs are bloody good, 90% of their music is ripped off from somewhere).
