    are u kidding? kiedis' lyrics are awful!
    all he cares abt is whether it rhymes
    I agree. I love RHCP and Anthony's lyrics SOUND cool but they are in no way meaningful.

    What about Nick Cave`s lyrics!!! Alice In Chains too, ... but PJ is always on the first place!!
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    Chuck Berry was a great storyteller within his lyrics. His stories were always frivilous and fun but great stories being told.
    “One good thing about music,
    when it hits you, you feel to pain.
    So brutalize me with music.”
    ~ Bob Marley

    One thing that Pearl Jam has, that not many other bands today have is complex, meaningful, and passionate lyrics. What are some other bands that share this talent with pearl jam?

    I heard of this band from a friend, just a small band trying to deal with the corporate bullshit of trying to get their music heard! Check out some of their lyrics and listen to their songs on their website: http://www.experiencemadisonstone.com.

    what are some other bands that share this lyrical talent with eddie and crew?

    Bright Eyes
    Neil Young
    Bob Dylan
    GG Allin (just a joke...calm down)

    Has anyone actually read this post? :D

    quote: I heard of this band from a friend.. blah blah .. link to website

    This guy has one post.
    I think we're supposed to be "checking out the band" not really naming bands that share this lyrical talent ;)






    For the record .. Jamie Foxx writes the best killer lyrics ;)

    Can't believe all that ass that you got
    Talkin slick girl might get you got
    If you do that again have to arrest you
    You telling me don't stop
    You must not understand
    Why they call me Foxx
    For how long I can stay in the box
    I all ready know how i plan to posses you

    a real killer that one, truely painful !
