Top 7 Lyricist of All Time
 

I'll name the top 7 off my head without examining my CD collection to get a true list with those I initially overlooked. Why 7? It is a cool number, and I'm buzzin' and don't feel like making it to a cooler number, 13....

1. Trent Reznor - he could make the happiest person in the world sad
2. Kurt Cobain - most of his are personal and have to know about him to get the songs
3. Jim Morrison - poet
4. Eddie Vedder - VERY underrated
5. James Hetfield - the black album is his Sgt. Peppers even if his hardcore bitches won't admit it
6. John Lennon - Imagine, enough said
7. Eminem - he cracks me up and his lyrics are very smart when you take apart most of his songs

This really depends on way too many factors for me to give a list.
