My first impuse numbers one through four have already been identified;
Hiatt, Thompson, Westerberg, and Crenshaw.

Number 5, however, could go a lot of ways;

Graham Parker or David Byrne or Allen Toussaint or Elvis Costello or Todd Rundgren or Karl Wallinger (World Party, The Waterboys) or August Darnell (Kid Creole) or etc., etc.....

Lots of good songwriters out there
