Maynard James Kennan from Tool and APC.
Krayzie Bone, cuz of his machinegun lyrics, don't believe me? Download "Murda Mo"...

Alice Cooper.
Brilliant lyricist.
Inmates (We're All Crazy)
[Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner]
It's not like we did something wrong
We just burned down the church
While the choir within sang religious songs
And it's not like we thought we was right
We just played with the wheels of a passenger train
That cracked on the tracks one night
It's not like we ain't on the ball
We just talk to our shrinks
Huh they talk to their shrinks
No wonder we're up the wall
We're not stupid or dumb
We're the lunatic fringe who rusted the hinge
On Uncle Sam's daughters and sons
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine playing with trains
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
Lizzy Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks
And don't think we're trying to be bad
Our innocent crime seemed alright at the time
Not necessarily mad not necessarily mad
We watch every day for the bus
And the driver would say
"That's where lunatics stay"
I wonder if he's talking about us
It's not like we're vicious or gone
We just dug up the graves where your relatives lay
In old forest lawn
And it's not like we don't know the score
We're the fragile elite they dragged off the street
I guess they just couldn't take us no more
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine digging up graves
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy
"I've wrestled with reality for 34 years'
and I'm glad to say that I've finally
won over it."
ELWOOD P. DOWD - "HARVEY"
bob dylan and john lennon.
Billie Holliday - The Lady could sing the blues.
Anthony Keidis - good rapper and great vocalist. New shit still sounds tight.
I have admiration for any artist that does as much of his own work as Peter Gabriel or Prince.
I never liked the Beatles or John Lennon, the Beatles were an over-rated boyband (imo) and Lennon was so full of his own importance.
"Imagine no possesions" whilst living in an ivory castle and being chauffer driven kinda smacks of hipocrisy.
Jason Lytle of Grandaddy for my bias, his voice is just beautiful. There is some bias attached, but no songwriter has touched me in the way he has.
john lennon, liam gallagher from oasis
and the beatles are not in any way over rated. u cant say that lennon and maccartney as song writers cant write songs u obviously havn't had the time to listen to them probly
I'm pretty sure I've heard almost everything they ever recorded,I never form an opinion without first finding out about the thing and believe me there have been enough people try to turn me on to them without success.Quote:

I stand by what I said, imo Lennon and McCartney were nowhere near as good as their press.
I simply do not like the Beatles music,nor do I like any of their solo offerings (The Frog Chorus FFS!) and Woman is the most contrived piece of pap ever.
If John Lennon was so clever how come he ended up with Yoko? :D
Bob Dylan was imo a better writer as was Pete Townsend.
Yah he still has it going.Quote:

i'm not crazy about the who.
def would prefer the beatles over them
Springsteen
Because he is the boss.
Ok this might give out my age but i really like Neil Diamond He Rocks!!!!
Mahalia Jackson a voice and a half. She makes you feel.
the dude out of the Darkness.. i dont listen to alot of thier songs he just trips me the fuck out cus one minute he sounds like a dude.. and then some high pitched glass smashing shit.. him or Ben Burley from Breaking Benjamin
Phil Anselmo - He can do everything from death metal vocals, to screams, to actually singing , and really good too.
brandon boyd from incubus has a fuckin amazing voice. hard to say my favorite, but he's up there. along with the screaming melody of robert plant and the hypnotic lyrics of maynard j kennan.
Dee Snider is a cool writer and one of my faves is :
I AM: I'M ME
WHO ARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN
AT WHAT I BELIEVE?
I'M ON TO YOUR THINKING
AND HOW YOU DECEIVE
WELL, YOU CAN'T ABUSE ME
I WON'T STAND NO MORE
YES, I KNOW THE REASONS
YES, I KNOW THE SCORE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME
HOW I TRIED TO PLEASE YOU
LIVE THE WAY YOU SAID
DO THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
LIKE THE LIVING DEAD
THEN THE TRUTH IT HIT ME
GOT ME OFF MY KNEES
IT'S MY LIFE I'M LIVING
I'LL LIVE AS I PLEASE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME
NOW'S THE TIME TO STAND TALL
START YOUR LIFE ANEW
FREEDOM LIES IN YOUR HEART
NOW'S THE TIME FOR YOU
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME
I AM, I'M ME
I AM, I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE?, CAN'T YOU SEE?
I'M ME, I'M ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
I AM: I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE?, CAN'T YOU SEE?
I'M ME, I'M ME, I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M ME
I'M ME, I'M ME, LOOK AT ME
I AM: I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
Peter Gabriel and Robert Plant. Can't beat em.
Brandon Boyd is HOT!!!!
But my fave is Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria, fuck can he sing.
is it me or does anyone else hate a lot of the songs/artists today that sound like they are whining or conjested when they sing (i guess w/ some exceptions)
Hate singers who whinge which is why I can't stand Liam Gallagher, the cunt can't sing IMO.
David Bowie is another guy I have a lot of admiration for , he is so talented .
Kelly "Sundown" Carpenter
JANIS JOPLIN.
how bout david lee roth from van halen
