Sure there are a lot of crappy songs out there. Rap music about ******* bitches and hoes, rock about slamming guitars on a stage floor and country about how everything in life goes wrong. Certainly there are other genres with stereotypical songs as well, but we won't go into all of those. But what songs stand out to you as having thoughtful lyrics and an ingenous tune? My nominations are as follows.
Rock: Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching Counting Crows - Around Here Rap: Deltron 3030 - Mastermind Company Flow - 8 Steps To Perfections So what are your favorite ingenous songs? |
The Murmurs have wonderful lyrics, as well as some of the BEST music I have ever heard. They are fantastic!! My fav cd is simply titled The Murmurs. Doesn't have a song on it that's not excellent!! :) :)

rock:
DMB: Song that Jane likes Cardigans : The bluest eyes in Texas Rap: Tupac : Dear Mama DMX : Damien |
Excellent Thread, Nappy!
From a quick glance at my library:
Alice in Chains - Rooster Bush - Glycerine Candlebox - Change Collective Soul - December Foo Fighters - Everlong Guns 'n Roses - November Rain (Coma is also up there) Nirvana (any song by them!) Offspring - Dirty Magic Pearl Jam - Given to Fly Queens of the Stone Age - If Only Soundgarden - Like Suicide Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty The Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive Tool - Aenema |
Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" :cool:

TOOL

I'd have to say any music composed by Frank Zappa is ingenious. His lyrics crossed over a broad spectrum of taste.

other nominations: Sevendust - Angel's Son Creed - One I'd have to agree with Jader on his Bush, Stone Temple Pilot, and Pearl Jam, nominations. Tool I enjoy sometimes, but I don't like songs with a lot of swearing, which well we all know why then I wouldn't like Tool all the time :) as for oscar's and twodogpeople nominations I have not listened to any songs by either groups/persons they mentioned. |

There's so much great music around that it's hard to select. A problem for me is that my favorite albums have songs that work together in a concept and it's hard to point out one song. A good example would be Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. I think it's ingenious from beginning to end, but which song to select? I don't think I can name the songs on that album and I've listened to it a hundred times! Other examples are Alice in Chains - Dirt, Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been & Cowboy Junkies - Caution Horses.
Ian Anderson, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Marty Robbins and Elvis Costello are all great songwriters that come to mind. So I'll select a song from each of them. That seems pretty safe. Anderson - To Cry You A Song Hank Williams - You Win Again Leonard Cohen - The Swan Bob Dylan - Isis Marty Robbins - Not So Long Ago Elvis Costello - American Without Tears |

good call oscar. while i could never say one particular cd or song is the best ever, i can put frank high on the list. when i started listening to frank when i was a teenager, i was really showen the possibilities lyrics held, cause noone wrote em like frank. funnier than hell, socially biteing, very aware. frank was one of the best lead guitar players ever and when frank isnt being too classical he could kick so much ass. :cool: songs directly from my heart to you- from weazles ripped my:cool: flesh:b: watermellon in easter hay- joes garage act 3?:cool: uncle remus - apostrophe heavenly bank account- you are what you is jewish princess- sheik yerbouti(the one that pissed my sis in law off) hmmm need something off tinseltown rebellion.... of course bamboozled by love:b: :cool::b: if you can get ahold of these tunes, i believe they are a fair representation of what frank did. And he cared about his fans. What a guy.:cool: |
