Alright 5 long years have gone by in this dreaded '2000' world. It seems like critics are SEARCHING for a new Dylan, just assuming he is one of the best songwriters ever. I've heard things about Bright Eyes (Coner Oberst), Stephen Fretwell, & even the Shins having terrific lyrics, but NONE of these speak "Dylan" to me.

So I turn to you fellows. In the past 5 years, who do you think has been at the top of their songwriting? Feel free to post particular songs which you feel have some pretty creative lyrics.
