Greatest lyricists
 

Okay, here's the thread where you can talk about those you consider to be the great lyricists of the world. Have fun.

My list:
Nick Cave
Morrissey
Ian Curtis
Nivek Ogre
Darby Crash

Jim Lindberg (Lead singer of pennywise) has written lyrics that have changed my life.

Too many to list, Petty, Morrison, Waters, Harrison, Dylan, Nelson, Cobain, Cooper, and countless others are on my list.

personally i like a lot of what's on your list plus

paul simon
don henley
joe strummer

Trent Reznor.........nuff' said.

I have alot, but I think the top spot has to go to Kris Kristofferson. If you cant tell why, go listen to Casey's Last Ride, To Beat the Devil, or The Law is for Protection of the People. If you still cant see why...go back to your Nine Inch Nails.

Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Joe Strummer, Roger Waters

burt bacharach and hal david

hmmm Chris Martin

Nekromantix. They are dedicated to horror. But they're funny, and not too sick.
