The Best Lyricism Outside of Rap
 

I’d have to give this to Jim Morrison or Maynard Keenan.

Both have incredible storytelling ability combined with symbolism that can’t be matched by anyone else in their genre’s.

John Lennon? Fleetwood Mac? Mark Knopfler is the worst though. dude sang about home appliances and shit for God's sake :confused: dude the lil uzis and shit of rock music lol

Lustrous turned flawless, deep thinking, got me sleep walking, say I'm the worst...sleep stalking, watch because I can't stop.. keep talking. this monstrous mistress, Is really, reality. your mysterious highness. Realing a real Will she's no longer fearing dr phil, while crushing another placebo pill

The OP are two of the best...Greg Graffin of Bad Religion, Shannon Hoon, Paul Simon, John Fogerty, Roger Waters, and Tim McIlrath of Rise Against some of my other favorites

Blink 182 .... Mine & My Ex-Fiance's Song And Mine & My Little Brothers Song Are Both By Them ... Complete Coincedence



Mine & My Brothers ^^ .. We'd get drunk and sing that to No End Bud!


Mine & My Ex's ^^


Blink 182 is so out there ... Poetic as fuck . Got love for a lot of different music tho

for starters try the band why? or maybe something like at the drive in aka mars volta. for folk maybe aa bondy, or iron and wine.

Sepultura
Opeth

Blow my trumpet Gabriel has a different context depending on which site you see it on.

I saw the Virgin's cunt spawning forth the snake
I witnessed tribes of Judah reduced to ruin
I watched disciples twelve dissolved by flame
Looked down on son of God snuffed in vain


:D:D:D

Sepultura ain’t shit without the Cavaleras. Soulfly>>>>>

FAAXXX !!!

Punk.

my last lil musical phase was the whole UK DnB scene where they got MC's over drum and bass w/e w/e I know it is rap but it is also technically another genre

my favorite out of what I heard was MC DRS

Just read any 'best Every Time I Die lyrics' thread or article. Keith Buckley's a poet.

James Brown had bars lol
