Most Talented Lyricist of out time?

[Summer1108]

Roger Waters

 

[s_is_for_skye]

John Frusciante
Chris Martyn
Anthony Kiedis

 

[Julyana]

my favorite song of his, lyrics wise, is baby britain. or between the bars.

 

[*~*Iris C*~*]

Gavin Hayes of dredg

 

[~Hartig~]

So has Snoop Dogg.

And it still doesn't change the fact that Reznor isn't that great of a lyricist at ALL.

 

[Jennifer P]

mjk > *

 

[Schmitty]

point is he did stop "poking" himself

 

[cuban star]

Dylan= /signed and I can't believe no one has tossed out Kurt Cobain yet.
Also, if Dylan is our time, Elton John as well.

 

[xclusive_4xxx_u]

Good call.
I also think Brandon Boyd, Billy Corgan, Dave Matthews, Zach De La Rocha, Andre from Outkast.......

 

[jeja_uribe]

Elton John doesn't write lyrics.

 

[Luchea]

Mike Patton...

Jizzlobber

They will sum it all up in a sentence
A verdict made by those who know
I'm ready to make a commitment
I'm willing to make love to concrete


Smiles
Bruises
Smiles
Bruises
Bars in the womb
I hide my dirty minutes under the dirty mattress and they are making me itch
My time is spilt milk


My skin is a layer of soot
I'm spending my days scrubbing
I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened(no one left to blame)
I'm trying so hard to find that fresh clean smell(no one left to blame)


Smiles
Bruises
Smiles
Bruises
Bars in the womb
I hide my dirty minutes under the dirty mattress and they are making me itch
My time is spilt milk


Cruel worRAB sleep above me
Mounting and teasing


I AM WHAT I'VE DONE
I AM WHAT I'VE DONE
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Sorry
Sorry
Sorry


Maynard James Keenan...

Reflection

I find that I can see a light at the end down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole.
Defeated I Concede and move closer. I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams.
And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.

So crucify the ego before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind

Capable of all that

 

[HannahGoregasm(=]

[we found safety]

Daryl Palumbo of GlassJAw
Brandon Boyd of Incubus
Sage Francis
Canibus
Illogic
Cedric Zavala

[zezzzell]

Though his lyrics are sometimes odd and seemingly jibberish, Thom Yorke knows what he is doing.

 

[Capt Artoro Li]

Reznor
Maynard
...cant remember more

 

[Canteen]

I'm happy that some of the guys here woke up when I mentioned Tom Waits. I had the great fortune of meeting/seeing the guy once, and also playing some of his music for a couple of years.

Two of my best frienRAB recorded Blood Money and Alice with him.

 

[SCVroker7253]

Gift of Gab from Blackalicious

 

[drinkcoasters]

Absolutely right. Correction, Bernie Taupin. I was listening to Elton John at the time and it just jumped out there.
In retrospect, though, I'm not sure I believe he's one of the greatest, but I know he's close.

 

[iluvcanadians]

Immortal Technique

 

[Smiling Costs Nothing :)]

Bob Dylan, hanRAB down.
