Poll: Songs

[Stebay88]

I would like to know what your favourite song lyrics are?

They can be from any genre of music.

And tell me why you like them.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

There is no best genre, they all have shit and awesome.

This. although for me, I mostly hear the crap songs.
Meh, the lyrics to Naraku no Hana are ok, I guess...

 

[Numb1lp]

Where is house or techno? You really shouldn't have a poll on a subject like this.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

You have alternative rock, but where is normal rock?

 

[Fraught]

There is no best genre, they all have shit and awesome, although i love metal alot.

/thread. This is the most defining and thread-ending answer I can remember.

Though yeah, my most preferred of those is metal and rock. The usual.

 

[traceur_]

Folk music is my favourite. Especially Scottish and Irish.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Hardcore electronica?

 

[ottenni]

Grunge all the way

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Couldn't you have generalized a bit more? Like, instead of alternative rock, just... rock? And instead of Heavy metal, just... metal?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

No ska makes Wasder sad. Besides, there is no 'best' genre, only your favorite.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Sorry but I have to be a sub-genre kinda guy to answer this. Folk-Metal and Ska-Punk are the two best genres in the universe.

There's no real reason to try and compare genres. They all invoke emotions in different ways and their times of origin give them all radically different feels. All of their sounds and feels are unique to their genre, and it's wiser to simply enjoy them for what they are instead of pitting them in cage matches with each other. It's like telling someone that impressionism is better than abstract, poetry is better than prose, or chocolate is better than vanilla. They're both paintings, writing, or ice cream, things that produce certain emotions in people. The only difference is how it's presented. People have their preferences, sure, but saying that one is inherently better than the other is just asinine.

Personally I have a bit of everything on my iTunes. I get to enjoy much more music that way.

Add alternative rock and we've got a deal.


Oh, wait, it is there. Alternative rock it is, then.

Instrumentals.

This, 90% of lyrics are just crap so lets go with a quote that reminds me of Buckethead
"The man's guitar says more than words ever could"
Although if I really had to go for lyrics, some hip hop lyrics are really good
For example, The Flobots - Handlebars
"My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed of their lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination"
Now that's pretty awesome don't you think?
