bob dylan, neil young, tom waits, townes van zandt, shane macgowan, nick cave, leonard cohen, and john prine are all amongst the best lyricists ever. although based on the entire history of this music room everyone is far too stupid to get any enjoyment or thought provocation, so i can't really recommend them to anyone here.
suhl Reviewed by suhl on . The Great Lyricists (Rock) So, which ones are your favourites? For me, nobody can touch Bob Dylan, and Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Roger Waters, Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix also come to mind. Bob Dylan was a poetic genius who wrote complex and ambiguous songs on just about any topic relevent to the human condition. I feel so thankful his music graced our era. Rating: 5
