nope..sorry. ha.

these are subject to change, but for now this is my opinion

best: (tie) geoff rickly of thursday and anthony green (saosin and circa survive). these are based on poeticness and their overall flow and sound.

worst: tom delonge and mark hoppus (blink 182)

Best? Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Thom Yorke, Morrissey, Michael Stipe, Ian Curtis,

Worst? Most people.

I agree with you on that. I'd thrown in Nick Drake and Elliott smith too.

Bump.

3 pages? Is that it? I love discussing lyrics/people who have those ways with words.

Well..

Lennon/Mccartney, Morrissey, Ian Curtis, Alex Turner, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Kurt Cobain.

And I can't believe no one has mentioned this guy - Nick Cave.
I'm not really a fan of his, and haven't heard much of his stuff. (Just the 1 album)
But the man seems like an absolute brilliant story teller.

When it comes to story tellers, Chris Clavin makes me all ears. There aren't a lot of artists that can do that for me. I have always been fond of Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Beck's for their colourful imagery.

Simply because of American Pie, I'm going to say Don McLean. That song IS culture. I also really enjoy listening to Jim Morrison.

Worst? Kesha loooooool

D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D M-A-N you're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a cat scan
Old man, why are you staring at me?
Mack on me and my friends
It's kinda creepy
You should be prowling around the old folks home
Come on dude, leave us alone!
