Members tramampoline Posted June 9, 2002 Members Share Posted June 9, 2002 I think that artists like Nick Drake, Cat Stevens and Roger Waters have a lot of good things to say. Modernly speaking, I think Thom yorke (Radiohead) and Coldplay are my faves. How bout' choo?(Ohy eah, my answer: 60's-70's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tramampoline Posted June 9, 2002 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2002 Enough said...yeah, I too am a major fan of the Pumpkins. Billy Corgan has a great voice and deep thoughtful lyrics. One of my faves. Have you had the chance to hear anything by Zwan yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thelonius74 Posted June 10, 2002 Members Share Posted June 10, 2002 i'm gonna go with the 70's. I think the 60's are highly overrated as far as lyrical content go. That's my opinion, and oddly enough, when they were making everything work in the world they never asked for it so...that may give you a clue as to what value it holds.

Members SomeGuyNamedRob Posted June 10, 2002 Members Share Posted June 10, 2002 I don't think you can generalize about which era has the best lyrics. Each generation seems to have a proportional number of really good and really bad songwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tramampoline Posted June 11, 2002 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2002 Rob, yeah, I suppose it's a rather technical question in a way (hard to pin an answer down). Jeez, I gotta learn how to ask better questions. You know what they say, generalization killed the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused though...is the question about Established Recording Artists? Or a certain era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
