An argument for the continued existence of great songwriting in the new millennium:
Magnetic Fields - "All My Little Words"

And it isn't too far under the surface of the mainstream that you have to dig. These guys regularly sell out 1500-seat venues.

And this song from 1995, which was a HUGE hit in the UK:
Pulp - "Common People"

Neither one may be your "thing", but I do think that the craft and skill are undeniable in both. And both can be easily translated by other artists and into other genres. Isn't that the real mark of a great SONG?
