    • Probably done this before but who writes your favourite lyrics? I'm bored.

      Neil Fallon (Clutch)
      Frank Turner (Million Dead)
      JR Hayes (Pig Destroyer)
      Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie)
      Paul Banks (Interpol)
      Morrissey

      I also like the guy from Every Time I Die, Jared Warren (assuming he writes 'em), Greg from Dillinger and the bloke from Watain (totally evil without being silly in the slightest).

      Forgive me if this is the most mundane thread ever.

    • Propagandhi (brutally political while avoiding the obvious trite cliched shit)

      Avail (guaranteed to reduce break-up heartache by 50%)

      Will Oldham (just awesome: today was another day full of dread, but that doesn't mean i was afraid, dread and fear should not be confused, by dread i'm inspired, by fear i'm amused)
    •  JenTheHenJenTheHen
    • Arab Strap and Dystopia.

      That probably suggests that I am a depresseive.

      The lyrics on the secod Charger album are amazing-

      "She keeps waking up in the morning, I can't vomit that fact, God must have made us in the image of his ass"

      I love that song!

      I concur with Mike Skinner, if only on the first album.

    • Yeah I listened to it the other day, reminded me of how amazing it was, lock down your aerial!

    • Even the silly songs like Sharp Darts still sound great.

    • Was appreciating The Hit Song by DJ Format and Abdominal the other day.

    • David Thomas Broughton. Simply because he penned the most romantic song ever:

      "I wouldn't take her to an execution.
      I wouldn't take her to a live sex show.
      I wouldn't piss or shit on her, would I?
      Because I love her so."
    •  MORRELLMORRELL
    • "When I get my hands on some money
      I'll kiss it's green skin
      And I'll ask it's dirty face
      "Where the hell have you been?"
      I am the fuel that fires the engine
      of failure."

      Lady Sov? You legend - "Bitch did you know you're orange!" amazing stuff

      I think maybe the dudes from Eyehategod and Acid Bath are some of my faves for sludge stuff. Morphine's stuff is pretty cool otherwise - it's all about drinking, partying, girls n stuff.

    • Lady Sov just has some hilarious lines thats all.
