Tyler8Durden, thanks for giving me a good laugh. But before I begin speaking, I suggest you learn how to spell. It'll save your life someday.

Now, let's start with "This is not becasue I'm homophobic or i don't like ignorant, repulsive people!" You do realize that you're placing yourself in our direct line of fire, don't you? It's sort of radiating with irony; so much for music creating a more accepting environment. And while we're on the topic, the word "homophobe" is intended to be insulting, and I hardly doubt someone like you would have half the wit to give reverse psychology a thought.

Also, you don't seem to have any more reason than muzyc does. If you're going to say Elton John sucks, at least say Elton John sucks with a little intelligence. I know the audience would appreciate it, at the least.

As for your well-thought and well-planned arguments, yes, he is a songwriter, and yes, he is a brilliant pianist as well. Your sarcasm does wonders. In case you didn't know, he can also do both at the same time, like a ****ing puppet. It's not safe in the real world to try and insult those that pay for your burial.

Oh, and check your math. "You list 9 songwriters (7 of which i agree with) 2 are Ok, and then you put 'Elton John' at the bottom." :)

Better luck next time, eh?

I completely agree, i dont see why so much hate is coming to staind for going "soft" they have changed granted, but arron lewis writes some of the deepest lyrics, which i dont find whiny, but rather, the sad truth.
 
Aaron Lewis writing deep lyrics? Its pathetic whiny and generic. If you're going to make a post praising a mediocre artist expect a negative reply.
 
Let me go on the record and blatantly point this out...YOU GOT SERVED! ....-Coughs.- Well, he did!

Anyyyyyway.

Dez Fafara (Ex-Coal Charaber; Devildriver)
Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth)
John Henry (Darkest Hour)
Tommy Decker/Johnny Santons (Spineshank and Ex-Spineshank)
Mark Hunter (Chimaira)
Corey Tayor (Slipknot)
Trent Reznor (Nine INch Nails)
Michale Graves (Ex-Misfits; Gotham Road)

Yep. They is the best, in my opinion.
 
HIM- With the venemous kiss you gave me im killing loneiness, with the warmth of your arms around me im killing loneliness.

HIM-And now you'rs so....in love....rip out the wings of a butterfly
 
sorry i didn't know that user names were used to judge people. and to both of you that don't seem to like my name i guess ill give the back ground info on it, since Hoss is a nick name that was given to me by my older brother and diggity was later added on by frienRAB. i dunno it has just stuck and it has meaning and i personally think iit is durab to put in a name like "bandname"isgod or muRABlayer or something of the sort that really means nothing to me. and yes i agree it was petty of me to attack your name moses, lets call it truce, but if you think what i listen to is **** thats fine, but if you didnt read my last statement that there are way too many people to name, because in fact i listen to all kinRAB of music, we probably like several of the same banRAB but whatever i am done
 
I'm gonna admit this ONCE: I am somewhat of a HIM fan and I do believe it's "Come on, and show them your love. Rip out the wings of a butterfly for your soul, my love."

I'm just a lyrics fanatic....must be perfect!
