I don't think the name matters much.

I really like some bands but still I don't know their singer's name.

that's exactly same as me.

Like Phoenix.

Or I was just going to say I love Tocotronic's lyrics but I just forgot the singer's name.

yeah sometimes I did a quick search to talk here, as I don't want to be laughed at, like Lisa was kinda.

Ahh, I forgot Nick Drake and Robert Smith.

Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Craig Nicholls, Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Omar Rodrigez-lopez.

Of course you can say you love the lyrics and whatever else - I just don't think you can cite someone as your favourite lyricist if you have no idea what their name is. 'Favourite' is quite a big deal.

And Ihatemusic, I'm pretty sure you got a bit shirty when someone didn't know a member of Interpol's name.

I think you meant when I tried to tell someone it's Specialist and not the Specialist.
I don't mind telling someone the right thing if they don't know it. Then they can decide whether they want to keep it in mind or ignore it. It's just that you made it seem like you'd have to know the names.

Yes - I'm going to strap everyone to tables (quiet, Jammy) and poke their eyes with breadsticks until they conform with my opinion.

That sounds quite nice

kurdt cobein

Ah, I love you.

Ah, I don't know much about his lyrics.

She's tying me up and ordering me around

HOT

I forgot Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon

looks like your love for Blur has just revived...

That happens to me regulary every few months.

my love for Tracy Jack has just revived too

Blur's lyrics are cute...

and Pulp's ones are dirty but... I like them...

I love the ironic and sarcastic touch to both of them.

hehe Jarvis really hates the word 'ironic'

Anyway...

I just like the music.

Kind of...

I have no favourite, but I realized that the Beatles have pretty simple lyrics even I can understand... I like that...

*has an aneurysm*

Well, I annoy everyone... But... It really just pisses me off. I am so stupid, I have difficulty in understanding a song... Sometimes I just hear a mixture of whatever it is, no words, I just can't make sense of it. And UNDERSTANDING a song... No, thank you, I am the wrong person. The only way out of it is me just not really enjoying the music because I might get a headache after a while... I just listen to the lyrics. But I often stop doing it after like... It can be a few seconds... Or a song or two... I just can't listen to the song and its lyrics at once. I just listen to the music if you know what I mean. It is just so difficult to understand people... And you might say "What a silly girl, everyone can't understand everything", but I've realized that I really suck at it... I just ask like... People talk to me and I am not LISTENING, even though I'd like to. I always feel like pushed out of a dream in the cold... Oh, what a rubbish, but I can cope with it, with myself, trust me. The second "BIG PROBLEM" is: I can't say what a good whatever is. In this case a good lyricist... What do you think? I know, it's your opinion, but it is way better than not having a clue like me.

You know... Now that I am listening to Ryan Adams... The words don't make sense to me, but... "Political Scientist" is such a beautiful song... I don't care about the lyrics, it is just so nice... Awwww, but he is none of my favourite artists... Ah, who cares about FAVOURITE. I can't favour anything...

Oh Ryan, don't make me cry. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Oh good... But that doesn't mean I don't sing along to songs... But...

I feel like I am not worth listening to music just because I don't understand the lyrics. How stupid is that?

Right now I'm going to say Cedric Bixler.

Keith Buckley.

I do the same thing.

But then I aren't the brightest one, so that shouldn't encourage you.

Oh, and Political Scientist is one of my all-time favorite songs. (in general, not just by Ryan Adams)

Hey, come on. "Not the brightest one", that's rubbish. Ah, well... Shut up, Roger! You know... "People try to put us down, just because we get around."

Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio write some pretty awesome words

Jeff Mangum

Maybe Craig Nicholls or Josh Garza/Brandon Curtis.
