lucasjcockcroft 05.05.11	14,8,3!
Alxander18 05.05.11	3 is tied with 20 and 1 as being the best lyrical albums I've heard.
Spec 05.05.11	Insane Clown Posse.
Alxander18 05.05.11	is a disgrace to music.
pizzamachine 05.05.11	Looks like a Sputnik list.
Spec 05.05.11	Plant a little seed and nature grows Niagara falls and the pyramids Everything you believed in as kids Fucking rainbows after it rains there's enough miracles here to blow your brains I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away
IAmHollywood 05.05.11	Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo
Uranium 05.05.11	unholy adversion of hope twisting the faith of the meek into hate
Alxander18 05.05.11	Yeah, I actually haven't listened to As The Roots Undo yet, I know I really need to.
Spec 05.05.11	Not really.
whywontyoudie 05.05.11	you'll either love it or hate it. lyrics in it are good though.
jayfatha 05.05.11	Needs more Bad Religion
Alxander18 05.05.11	Never listened to em.
Trebor. 05.05.11	Go get Against The Grain or No control Bad Religion fucking rule dude.
SeaAnemone 05.05.11	I love As the Roots Undo but many of the lyrics are pretty atrocious. Peoples' infatuation with Simple Math already is beyond me. Good call on Death Cab, even if it's a tad cliche, and definitely Frank Turner.
Narshh 05.05.11	realllly needs mewithoutYou
Alxander18 05.05.11	Hmm, true, I don't know how I forgot about MWY. Simple Math is just a masterpiece imo, I've listened to it close to 100 times since Monday, and every time, it just sounds like an event record. Gonna listen to Bad Religion tonight now.
Mendigo 05.05.11	yes for Bob Dylan, Nas and especially Titus Andronicus - The Monitor has some of the most amazing lyrics in a really long time. you should check out Leonard Cohen, especially his debut. and The Drones. and Tom Waits.
Alxander18 05.05.11	I've only listened to a little Leonard Cohen, I'll get on that.
crazyblinddude 05.05.11	Cool list man. Check out Mewithoutyou if you really like lyrics. Aaron Weiss is a beast.
demigod! 05.05.11	Someone hasn't heard Liquid Swords.
Alxander18 05.05.11	I love Mewithoutyou, for some reason that escapes me I forgot to put them on here. Also forgot La Dispute.
PoweredByMetal 05.05.11	La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River...
Alxander18 05.05.11	Just said I forgot that.
ratowitz 05.06.11	Explosions in the Sky needs to be here.
NateT 05.06.11	8, 11, 12, and 20. Hell yes
ohfoxxxycole 05.07.11	and so i watch you from afar
illmitch 05.07.11	no mountain goats huh you guys are fags
Crymsonblaze 05.07.11	3, 15, and 17 = YES
Alxander18 05.07.11	I need to listen to Mountain Goats, I've been meaning to listen to All Eternals Deck
Aids 05.07.11	Simple Math is fucking phenomenal as far as lyrics go (as far as everything goes, to be honest) I think that's why it's such a grower, I didn't start to realize how brilliant it was until I started picking out lyrics
ohfoxxxycole 05.07.11	and so i watch you from afar
Aids 05.07.11	oh my god you haven't heard All Eternals Deck? what is wrong with you? I have that shit on vinyl already haha. k gonna find you a link of the first song from it, it's like the best song of the year (best indie song of the year anyway. actually that was before Simple Math.....hmmm....now I don't know. well, it's an awesome song anyway, enjoy, then GET THE ALBUM!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOVhMbjy18I
Alxander18 05.07.11	It blew my mind instantly, but then when I listened to it again with the lyrics, the effect was seismic.
DinoX 05.07.11	needs moar Mewithoutyou
Alxander18 05.07.11	I can't listen to music online until 2:30 in the morning because my internet fucking sucks, but I'll listen to All Eternals Deck tonight.
kuririn 05.07.11	Fevers and Mirrors is the best Bright eyes Album.
Alxander18 05.07.11	already addressed the absence of MWY
omnipanzer 05.07.11	Van morrison - first half of his discog Counting Crows - First half of their discog The shins Eliot Smith Nick Drake You know the usuals =^P
Aids 05.07.11	"needs moar Mewithoutyou" ^^^ I do not exist, I faithfully insist.
Aids 05.07.11	"already addressed the absence of MWY" my bad. let's use this an an excuse to talk about how much they rule. they rule, no?
Alxander18 05.07.11	I LOVE TB Sheets by Van Morrison. I probably should have put Elliott Smith on here, I have all of his stuff and enjoy it. I'm sure I'll get lynched for this, but I'm not a big Nick Drake fan, tried to get into him. Shins are eh.
Alxander18 05.07.11	MWY do fucking rule, but I think I might prefer La Dispute. Aaron Weiss is a genius though, Brother, Sister is my favorite.
mallen- 05.07.11	you need some elliott smith, man entire discography is gold: s/t, either/or, figure 8 and xo are a little better than the rest imo
IAmHollywood 05.07.11	Listener - Wooden Heart
Aids 05.07.11	I prefer La Dispute as well. mewithoutYou are really awesome, but La Dispute are one of my favourite bands. I've only heard Brother, Sister and A to B: Life. Brother, Sister is incredible.
Aids 05.07.11	my vote is for Either/Or
SeaAnemone 05.07.11	my favorite lyricists I guess: John Darnielle (Mt. Goats) Elliott Smith Matt Berninger (The National) Phil Elverum (Microphones) Off Minor Slint The Weakerthans (probs most glaring omission from this list/thread) Dangers Leonard Cohen Kristian Matsson Park missing a gajillion but oh well
mallen- 05.07.11	ughh mewithoutyou
SeaAnemone 05.07.11	mewithoutYou being overrated as lyric writers but yeah what's new awww yeah Mike nice simultaneous post
Alxander18 05.07.11	xo is my favorite by Elliott Smith. Aids, I just listened to that mountain goats song, holy shit I loved it.
mallen- 05.07.11	holy shit the weakerthans how did i miss them?
Alxander18 05.07.11	Sea, I actually had just listened to Reconstruction Site for the first time after I made this list. Both the songs about his cat, are just fucking brilliant.
mallen- 05.07.11	get live at burton cummings theatre
Aids 05.07.11	omg the weakerthans totally forgot "I swear I'm gonna bite you hard and taste your tinny blood, if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home. I know you're strong." - Plea From A Cat Named Virtue genius
Aids 05.07.11	oh ehm gee we're meant for each other Alxander
Alxander18 05.07.11	Plea From A Cat Named Virtute is one of the best songs I've ever heard, lyrically.
patroneyes 05.07.11	destroyer - Streethawk: a seduction
Alxander18 05.07.11	Aids, I do believe it is so.
SeaAnemone 05.07.11	don't know what everyone's deal with Virtute is honestly... I'd put it in the lower half as far as songs on Re: Site is concerned, but that records perfect in my eyes. "Reconstruction Site" is best.
mallen- 05.07.11	title track and one great city are my faves on RS. most underrated weakerthans song though is sun in an empty room
omnipanzer 05.07.11	"but I'm not a big Nick Drake fan, tried to get into him." If you went straight "Pink Moon" that is why you failed sir. That is all.
gansosgrandes 05.07.11	The Heat Death Of The Universe - Off Minor Fair Trades And Farewells - Hot Cross Phantom Limb - Pig Destroyer
Alxander18 05.07.11	Yep, I went straight to Pink Moon. I should try something else of his first?
omnipanzer 05.07.11	Bryter Layter is my favorite however Five Leaves left is phenomenal as well. All three albums have a very different feel. I like them all but Pink moon is 3 on my list. You have to give all three a chance and see which one grabs your personality (if they are meant for you at all). All three have a few epic tracks.
Alxander18 05.07.11	I just hate the incredibly short song lengths on Pink Moon.
Aids 05.07.11	Late afternoon, another day is nearly done. A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one. A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground. That hollowed hurried sound, of feet on polished floor. And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up, and counting loonies trying not to say "I. Hate. Winnipeg." first Weakerthans song I heard, fucking love that band. Reconstruction Site is one of the greatest albums ever made, so I guess I can see people disagreeing on which songs are best, but come ON Eric, Plea fucking slays
