Replace Arthur Lee with John Lennon Wink


Laughing

Nah John would probably be in my low 20's for lyricists

Forever Changes is my favorite album right now


..... Think

How are Ray Davies & Forever Changes related?

Or where you starting a different topic? Confused


I said change my list order by removing Ray Davies and replace him with Arthur lee who is the singer for Love and Forever changes... how did that not make sense?


d'oh! Sorry. Now I see it. Misread it at first. Embarassed

There are in my eyes three whopping, glaring omissions from this list, and I am truly shocked no-one's mentioned them yet:

MARK E SMITH

JOANNA NEWSOM

My favorite album right now is Boxer by The National and I think that some of the lyrics in it are pretty good:
"You know I dreamed about you/For 29 years, before I saw you"
I dig that line

Dan Bejar from Destroyer has written some of the most amazing lyrics in the last 10 years.

"The Bad Arts" - one of my favourite songs :


Link


Absolve, absolve, absolve…
We spent the better part of a day waiting for the wave to hit our side of
town. It didn’t.
Absolve, absolve, absolve…
I wash my hands of the stuff of legends.
And what news of the horizon?
I hear it’s all just a horizontal myth so stop your cruising, start your
criticizing!
Or indulge yourself for once - feel medium between them.
And goddamn your eyes.
They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun.
And goddamn your eyes.
They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun.
They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun.

See them sporting those eagle iron-ons you made me swear never to wear.
Why did you spend the 90’s cowering (why did you spend the 90’s cowering)?
And they’re singing those inspirationals you penned back in ‘72.
And the hotels of choice are now toasting your voice, as the spas ring out -
“What’s another word for sacrament?”

The world woke up one day to proclaim - “Thou shalt not take part in, or
make, bad art.”
In these tough tough times friends like mine would rather dash than dine on
the bones of what’s thrown to them…
When a wave of her wand has us back at the pond taking notes for a crooked
underground!

The world woke up one day to proclaim - “Thou shalt not make or take part in
the bad art.”
You see, the Singer sold us out. The Guitarist lost his clout on
Life-Of-The-Mind Day.
When signs become impure again the crowd doesn’t know where or when to let
it all hang out.
Bloodlet yourself, street style!!

You got the spirit.
Don’t lose the feeling.
