I agree in large quantities, people could at least stop with the whole slating people for taste in music thing cos otyherwise this whole thread should probs just be chucked in the pit section instead

Haha, I generally keep quiet about my music tastes. People always ask me 'Why do you like them? They're crap!'. Unfortunately they don't understand different tastes and personal differences.

The 'indie' bands just appeal to me, along with the 60's Pop, it's just something I like. No-one will stop me liking them so there's no point arguing about it really. If only other people realised that!!

And when I tell people I like classical, well, I may as well be a Jew in 1940s Germany.

On that subject, we had a load of R.E lessons on the Holocaust the past few weeks. Kind of depressing but eye opening. Really changed my thoughts and ideals on a lot of things. And all we can do is remember them.

Actually gave me some inspiration, why is it that sad things inspire me?!?!?!

On the subject of musical taste, can anyone recommend me some bands/songwriters who you think write great lyrics? I'm suffering from a shortage of new things right now.

Well, I've been listening to Elliott Smith a lot lately. I think he's a great lyricist.

i'll look into it, thanks. Any other suggestions?

Nice.

Cradle of Filth's lyrics.

<_<
>_>

Elliott Smith works well. If you want to be a little snobby with your vocabulary, try The Decemberists.

Decemberists ftw...

good music itt

Neutral Milk Hotel, too. I don't think the music's all that great, but the lyrics are.

David Bazan (Pedro The Lion) has a new EP out. He's an awesome songwriter. I havn't heard it yet but I'm assuming it's great because of PTL

One of my favourite bands! Someone recommended trhem to me in alt/indie about a year ago. Great lyrics.

Thanks to all others for suggestions so far. I'll have a look at them all.

I'd go Iron and Wine or Rocky Votolato. Both very good songwriters.

Agreed 100% and more, but I thought you were into emo; a lot of emo bands write fantastic lyrics.

What kind of music do all these bands play?

Iron & Wine = Indie/Soft Vocaled Folk and Rock Votolato is basically the same but he sings a little louder. Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), basically whispers over the mic. Here:

Lol. Iron and Wine are another of my already listened to bands. Excellent lyrics and they play vary atmospheric acoustic guitar as well. The second one i'll check out though.

Thanks

I like. Very mellow.

[quote=slack]Neutral Milk Hotel, too. I don't think the music's all that great, but the lyrics are.[/quote] Musically, I think Neutral Milk Hotel are great, especially Jeff Mangum's vocals. But yeah, the center of the whole band is basically the lyrics.

I'm going to throw up.

I just e-threw up.

I didn't know you were a regular in here. :-0

He isn't, really.

I wish my neighbors would blow their friggin hands off already. :)

Oh. Hello. Hopefully you're all drinking by now.

Oh no I'm sober and willing to listen to your story.

Oh I have no sob story, Tojamme. It's just that my neighbors (whom I abhor) can't help themselves when it comes to explosive devices and I worry my house might catch on fire someday and that'd be it for me. :upset:

lol

too bad for you.

My neighbors aren't interesting, at all.
