One of us cannot be wrong

Maybe the guys (I don't actually know their names) behind Creed, Nickelback, and that band P.O.D that seemed popular for a while back in the late 90's. And then there's the ones with good music, but crap lyrics, and there's a lot of that around. So, what do you think? |

I read a list of worst lyricists somewhere recently, and it said Sting was the worst. Paul McCartney and some others were on the list too. [I was liek wtf :cigar:] But, seriously, there are loads of bad lyricists out there (including me :cigar:), I find it impossible to name the worst. |

Fred Durst. Examples (I copied and pasted this from another "Worst lyricists" thread): "You say you want your money back but you're denied cuz your brains fried from the sac." "I'm sick of being aggravated, I'm glad I'm hated, that's what happened back in Columbine!" "No doubt I'd love to sniff on them panties now. I'm sorry, so sorry (damn you so hot). Your beauty is so vain (damn you're so hot!)." "HEY! IT'S THE E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STOR-Y! IT'S THE E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STOR-Y!" "...And, God, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "I remember high school, man i hated high school It was like prison with bullies always putting me down Just a little skater boy they could pick on I learned to forgive'em, now i got the balls they can lick on I loved sneakin' out when my mom was asleep With my gothic girlfriend makin' love in the creek" |

Yes. And although Zappa has had his low moments with lyrics, there are far worse lyricists out there than him. |

Does anyone recall a 90s boyband called LFO? They had that one song with truly, the worst lyrics ever. "There was a good man named Paul Revere I feel much better when you are near" I shit you not. Those boys were reaching far for a rhyme. |

I've never really liked Donovan as a lyricist (though his lyrics, I admit, suit the songs and the psychedelic spirit perfectly), but of course, he's far from the worst. It's just that these lists need big names. Take 'There is a Mountain'. It opens with "The lock upon my garden gate's a snail / That's what it is / The lock upon my garden gate's a snail / That's what it is", which is pretty bad, like Harrison's floor that needs sweeping, and I don't care the rest of the poem is based on Zen-Buddhist teachings, "First there is a mountain / then there is no mountain / then there is" aren't the best of lyrics. Anyway, that's why I love that vid of Donovan and Dylan both playing one of their songs. Donovan's song has the lyrics "I'll sing a song for you / that's what I'm here to do / to sing for you", Dylan's is 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. 'ed, and he's well aware of it.
