Just thought of another one...
 

Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick

Refering to the entire album of course. Not just the intro, which passes for the entire song on the radio.

(Hmmm, Aqualung is worthy of mention also.)

More to come!!!!

further down the spiral is better:)

"MR SELF DESRUCT!!!!!!!"

"Music" by Madonna

Now before you yell at me, it has a good dance beat and good lyrics. If you listen to the lyrics, they are more positive than the stuff that is currently out there...

The long hex hector remix of this song is good too.

Tool, Massive Attack, NIN, PJ, Rammstein, Creed, They ROCK!
Fleetwood Mac, Zepplin, Floyd, Jethro Tull, Theese guys Kick arse!


But to blanket them with Ingenious......not IMHO.

Igenious songs...which may include some of the above ....In my Highly Biased Opinion.

Jim Croce..(dunno how to spell his freaky name) Time in a bottle.

Don Mclean....American Pie.

Led Zepplin....The Battle of Evermore...(and yup Kashmir Too!).....btw the lovemongers did a helluva rendition of the battle of evermore themselves!.....Love that song...

John Williams and the boston pops.......damn near everything they have ever done.....FANTASTIC MUSICIANS.-------the list includes Starwars..Startreck...Goonies...Superman...Batman....Indiann a Jones.......The Magnificent 7......The godfather.....Braveheart.......gladiator......The Patriot.......Last of the Mohicans......and scores more (no pun)

Any one else here like Guster? I think their lyrics are pretty far out...

My two favorite songs by Guster are Medicine and Demons.

If you haven't heard their music, check it out...

When this thread first came up i couldn't really think of any one song inparticular that I could say I felt had truly ingenius lyrics to it...Aside from the obvious Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven that is....

Then last night I was going through my CD's, and feeling pretty down, when I spotted an old album of mine that I bought way back when I was 16 years old....As it turns out, the day I bought it was the last day I ever saw my mother alive...I never got a chance to play the record until a few weeks after the funeral when things had started to settle down, school had started back up and I was trying to get myself into some sorta normal routine.

I took the wrapping off, placed it on my turntable and set needle to vinyl...For the next hour I cried like I had not been able to do before, like a baby...Actually that record set me back somewhat if truth be told...

It was called Spanish Train & Other Stories' by Chris DeBurgh...The title track, Spanish Train, is a harrowing tale of the fight between Good and Evil, played out by the Devil and the Lord, at the deathbed of the railway man who drove that train, for the souls of, at first, the entire train they are on, but then turns into a battle for the souls of hundreds of thousands of people.

It's the best songwriting (lyrically) I could ever think of even if I had the rest of my life to think about it....You don't even need to hear the music, the lyrics read as pure poetry and are by far the most ingenuis lyrics I have ever come across.

I was shocked to learn a while back that many had never even heard of this album...So to anyone reading this who has yet to hear this song, I can't stress strongly enough how moving a song it is and I reccomend everyone hear this song at least once. :)
