That was basically my point deejuks. People who listen to MTV mainstream are undoubtably idots, but alot of the other mainstream is really good music.

And Steerpike, Eleventeen diddn't know his terminology, John Davis uses alot of rythm most writers write in verse, especially in that genre, but John uses blank verse.

sometimes i watch that subterrainian show, just to see if theres a band i like... some of the bands on mtv are okay, but undoubtedly most of it sucks

I've never much liked Chris Cornell, he's got a good voice, but his lyrics are way off my style.

But,,,,in The End Its All About The Music!!!

[QUOTE=A_Perfect_Sonnet]that one band on battle for ozzfest[/QUOTE]

Never heard of the show... but I looked it up and it looks stupid. Seems that most of these bands havent been together long and are inspired by the mainstream heavy music... not that that is bad, but I could think of hundreds of other bands that have been together longer and who are probably better that could have gotten on.

And eliminating bands because they cant do a task? Isnt this about getting the best band on the tour? And a final twist? Seems lame.

dude, they are the only good band, and i only watched one episode, you dick

? Why can't we all just play nice for once? :(

i was just JOKING zep, GEEZ you TWAT ;)

:( You people are meaner than the folk in THE PIT! :(:(:(

thank you
 

[QUOTE=Blank/24]in my opinion, thursday. hands down. that isn't to say that they are the only band with lyrics i like, but i love ALL the lyrics to ALL their songs.

other than that i'm into underoath, cake, and staind (i dont really know why i like staind's they arent anything special but they strike a cord with me)[/QUOTE]



THURSDAY IS GOD!!! NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE MATCHES THIER LYRICICAL ABILITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geoff is an very talented song writer. Check out [U]For the workforce, Drowning [/U] or [U]Cross Out The Eyes[/U].

Rob Halford (Minus his stint with Fight), Eric Clapton, and I always had a love for Machine Head's lyrics

[QUOTE=greenday_4lyfe]wait the beatles suck and so does elvis he sings about "blue suede shoes" you might as well add nelly and his "air force ones" to the lyrical greatness list[/QUOTE]

Wow. I'm amazed that you are able to say the Beatles suck. I do feel sorry for you.

But anyways, I like alot of lyrics, I like alot of the bands which have already been mentioned to death. (minus Staind and all the Emo-crap)

Third Eye Blind
Everclear

and why has no one said Oasis? Great band.

i think this became a "my band has better lyrics than yours" thread... :\

Well, Rob Halford is god...

Oasis has been mentioned several times.

Tim Kasher is my favorite writer at the moment.

Morrisey, music with lyrics has been around as long as music and spoken language.
