Jim Steinman - absolutely nobody else wrote lyrics nor created musical narratives like he did.

Paul Buchanan - because The Blue Nile's music reduces grown men to tears and he's the Scottish Sinatra.

Can I also mention Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) because he's been going for over 30 years and has a varied, literate body of work to match anybody's?

May be a leftfield choice: Gillian Gilbert.

Because without her, New Order produced a couple of very average albums which were rather dull and plodding. And when she returned, they got their groove back!
