I don't have the Sky package either. I have the minimum package with Virgin and it's part of that.

As a songwriter & guitarist, yes !

Somebody has to sing that song good and convincing so that people like it. So imo they are at least equal.
Bob Dylan might be a very good and talented songwriter, but his singing is not even close to elvis ' or Sinatra ' artistic abilities in terms what they can do with a song.
(Bad people even say he can't sing at all, but that is a different matter).
Or do you think if an unknown Bob Dylan would have wrote Suspicious Minds and sang it by himself ...you really think it would have gone to Nr.1?
Or would be even as good as Elvis ' interpretation?
I doubt it.
No one is putting Frank Sinatra down because he didn't wrote the songs himself.
So spare me the nonsense that songwriting is "the most important thing".
An actor also has to have the lines.....or dou you think the scriptwriter would be able to deliver an academy award performance by himself if he acts in his own written script?
This is not the Rolling Stone Magazine here.
If you really think that songwriting is "THE most important thing"you surely are at the wrong forum.
You wouldn't even think to say that Frank Sinatra was less talented as an artist than ,let's say, Mark James, or would you?
