    Ok... basically who is your favourite lyricist... but to make it easier you can just name bands. Must be consistent to a large degree.

    And please don't do stuff like Cradle Of Filth, cause although the lyrics are fun, if i had a good enough dictionary even i could pull it off <no offense dani>.

    Mine:
    Leonard Cohen
    Tom Waits
    Nick Cave
    Bono
    Freddie Mercury
    Thom Yorke
    Blur <they all contributed at some point>
    Peter Steele
    Ozzy <especially considering how dumb everyone thinks he is>

    The Fish rock! Add Jaret of Bowling for Soup to that list though.



    Whoever had the idea to milk cows was probably some pervert. I mean, what was his motivation. "Those calves
    may be onto something. Martha, hold Bessie still. I’m gonna give it a try." That’s just bad. I’m glad milk comes
    in bottles now. That’s a long way to bend down, and I’ll bet it stinks under a cow. – Jaret
