[QUOTE=joveman]umm this is the guitar forum man, you need to go to the vocal section.[/QUOTE]

But, this is the song writing section, its not the Guitar forum :lol:

i think its proably been moved from the guitar forum

Maynard James Kenan - most powerful vioce and lyrics I've ever heard and they go through a whole range of tones, moods and emotions.

Zach de la Rocha - best political writer I've ever heard and one of the only ones I've ever heard that seemed to have a clear, reasonable message (anything anarchy doesnt make any sense, even animals dont live in anarchial socities) and some of the most educated lyrics out there. He also has a great vioce.

Billy Corgan - very poetic with some strong emotions, great guitarist too.

Trent Renzor - shattered hope ... stuits me.

John Davis - I can really realate to the loss/questioning of faith in anything, the supressed hate and the culture of the music.

Serj Tankian - best political writer now that Zach de la Rocha is out of a band but the non-political songs get old fast

James Hetfield - great songs about death, insanity, war, and the beliefs that people have imposed on them.

Slipknot has good lyrics too ... sometimes you just gotta hate stuff.



Everything about Nirvana sucks. The lyrics, the chord that Kurt Cobain knows, the bass lines only suck worse because he follows Kurts chord and basic drum beats are pretty sad as well.
