Thought about it and found it to be in bad taste.

I've got a few more to add:

-Zach de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine
-Geoff Tate from Queensryche (I just did an assignment on Operation:Mindcrime, and - wow! :cool: )
-Steve Harris and Adrian Smith from Maiden (UP THE F***ING IRONS!!!)
-Merle Haggard (Yeah, Magicninja, you got me hooked on him :) - everything I've heard from him so far is pretty good, with the exception of "Soldier's Last Letter" - cheese alert!)
-Claudio Monteverdi (obligatory classical musician alert!)
"It's all folk music... I ain't never heard no horse sing!"
- Attributed variously to Leadbelly and Louis Armstrong

If at first you don't succeed, you are obviously not Chuck Norris.

Yeah man he's great. Lonesome Fugitive, Mama Tried, Misery and Gin, Rainbow Stew, Sing Me Back Home, and many others are all amazing songs.

haha, Yeah Jolly, I remember my challenge...well done on that again, I cant believe you actually managed to use that to make, not only a song, but a cleverly written song that actually made sense...and could even have been a porpper song if not for the challenge...twas impressive.

I'm gonna add Jeff Buckley to the list...he's amazing...oh, and Chris Cornell

^^One of my favorite Modest Mouse songs... "Bury Me With It"

I also want to add Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age to the list... he's one of my favorite snog writers in rock music...

Also, he doesn't quite make my list of favourites, but Paul Kelly has written some classics in his time.

Derrick Wibbley (is that spelt right?) from Sum41...he is a good lyricist...
and, mock me if you will, but Eminem is an insanely good lyricist!
