If I abstract from classical composers, then it has to be Peter Hammill.

I chose the "any other" option:
Mike Rutherford from Genesis. IMO, his contributions on "...And Then There Were Three..." and "Duke" are brilliant. ("Deep in the Motherload" and "Man of Our Times", respectively)

They are certainly superb composers, specially Yupanqui; also a great lyricist. From the list, McCartney is the man.
