best lyricist?
 
while i don't know if he's the best (considering guys like leonard cohen are still making music) i'ld say my fav is maynard james keenan from tool/a perfect circle. great intellectual stuff with tool and with apc more emotive sort of stuff, that is simpler but i'ld say even more powerful. his voice while not technically as good as our kennedy for instance is fantastic at communicating the emotion, as good as anyone else out there IMO.

Something has to change.
Undeniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way

It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe to feel to know I'm alive.

Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax turn around and take my hand.

I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way.

Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way.

It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
Relax. Slip away.

Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?

How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?

I'll keep digging till
I feel something.

Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. Turn around and take my hand.

I would go with Hetfield/Ulrich

Quote:

I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell
-One


Quote:

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself but it’s too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm now I will just say good-bye
Good-bye -Fade To Black

aussiecreeder 02-15-2005 08:30 PM

metallica are great but its the music behind the lyrics and vocals that makes it IMO. yep bono is very good no doubt, but i still prefer keenan! :)

Not alot stick out in my mind.(there's artists I like moreso for their music then the lyrics) So I'll just list a few that I really like.

Stapp(based on his work in Creed and his one solo song)
Tremonti(based on ODR)
Myles Kennedy(based on his work in the Mayfield Four)
Paul McCoy(especially love the lyrics from the first 12 Stones album)
Jon Micah-Sumrall(great Christian rock lyrics)
Bono

Realize, I'm not saying these are the best lyricists. Just my personal favorites, and I know I'm forgetting some.
