tommy shaw is beyond doubt the greatest songwriter of our generation

David Robbins said

Blue collar man
Mam in the wilderness
Renegade
High enough
Mystified
Don't you tread on me
Too much time on my hands
Love in the midnight
Snow blind
Can you count on me
Girls with guns
Reach for the bottle

I could go on and on. Best songwriter of our generation

What is "our generation"? And that's like 12 songs - only four of which would be known to the average music fan.

But that's what's fun about music. You can have wacko opinions and no-one can tell you that it's wrong. I wouldn't throw "beyond doubt" around like that, but if Tommy's your boy, go for it.
I always liked him. I think he was just barely 18 when he joined Styx (if not 17).
