Overrated Songwriters

Since I did them on purpose, I'd imagine it to be quite easy for me to spot them.
 
Die in a fire?

You'll have to do with overdose in the case of Nick Drake and getting stabbed in the chest in the case of Elliott.

RIP boiz. :(
 
Guy Charabers. Angels may be the most requested song at weddings and funerals regarding UK occasions but the clue is in the statement. It's both depressing and soul crushingly normal.

Roger Waters...oooohhhhh. His solo stuff generally stinks and don't pretend it doesn't. The fact that a lot of his bass work was played by Gilmour backs this up. He writes some brilliant lyrics and melodies but he has blown since 1987 let's be honest.
 
Meh, I always see the x1 shit as +1, I agree with that statement!

Which is essentially what it is. We should stick with +.

Oh and fuck off blaming the schools, it was my mum, she smoked pot whilst pregnant and dropped me on my head. Blame her. Bitch.
 
Morrisey. The Smiths were great, but some people think this guy is God. Most of what I've heard from his solo material is just meh too(I haven't heard alot but still).Alot of people think his lyrics are amazing, they're good, not amazing.
 
As someone who has a Morrissey lyric permanently on her skin, I can testify that this is indeed false, probably the only tattoo I won't regret. How is he overrated? especially with Smiths era? **** that, even now, Years of Refusal has some absolute lyrical gems IMO
 
I'm terrible at geography and math.

And history, at least concerning other countries.

My best subject? I don't really have one, I'm a dummy overall. But I'd like to think I'm decent at Anthropology as long as it's relevant to my culture and interests.
 
Kurt Cobain def. I like Nirvana a lot but I don't understand why he got critical acclaim for rhyming his stream of conciousnesses and using them as lyrics....
 
Even as a huge Genesis fan I never thought highly of him as a stand alone songwriter. It was the other merabers who made most of the songwriting contributions.

And I never thought his solo material was held in high regard.
 
I missed Isaac Brock, I should've bolded him but I didn't know it was the guy out of Modest Mouse. I really like Modest Mouse but don't know them by their individual names.
