But there is someone that i think is one of few artists that writes with thought and emotions, and pretty creative with the sounds he writes...which is extremely rare during these times...
But how about Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls... You could actually follow him mature through the albums... The lyrics could be similar to your life, past or present...(well, to my life at least)... And the sound is unique in it's own, not like all the others these days that add depth by, for example, throwing in Turn Tables... The tunings are just amazing i think... between the drones of the open strings and overtones... it adds a lot of tone to it... but, it's a pain to play them as they are recorded since you'd have to tune your guitar almost after each song, and replace the strings that break along the way...i'll admit that...
i.e.
Here is Gone: C# G# C# G# C# F
Big Machine: D# A# A# D (with the D and high E strings hacked off)
Sympathy: C# G# C# F# C# F# (capo on 2nd fret)
Slide: D# A# D# G# D# D#
Black Balloon: Db Ab Db Ab Db Db
Iris: B D(down) D D(down) D(up) D(down)
Name: D A E A E E
just to name a few...
