psydoll Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I'd put Matt Bellamy, all of Tool and David Bowie in there for sure. Trent Reznor is indeed a must and I think I'll nominate Devin Townsend before Hog does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
less_than_stu Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I think Mark Everett (or "E") from the Eels is a fantastic songwriter, although I haven't heard much from their new album. I also really like Psychid's songwriting ability. I think the band "Cake" also write fantastic songs.So:-Eels-Psychid-Cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Isn't Neil Morrissey in Men Behaving Badly? Surely you mean Stephen Morrissey?I was under the impression that Ian Brown didn't write anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA:O Yes I did mean Steven Patrick Morrissey.And Brown wrote a large proportion of the Roses material (at least gets credit for most) but to me its his solo work that sets him apart as a lyricist, it beats anything off of second coming.

Trent Reznor is indeed a must and I think I'll nominate Devin Townsend before Hog does Ya fucker! you bet me too it:cheers: Devin Townsend- He writes the most far out fucked up music ranging from waltzs to Death Metal. How many musicians layer the keyboard sound 100 times?Tom Waits- just because!!James Hetfield- He wrote Master of Puppets, almost by himselfDave Mustaine- The guy is a riff machinePete Steele- Mellow, Satyrical music with dark undertonesUlver- unique and wide ranging ambient dark shit!Frantic Bleep- go to www.theendrecords.com to find out why!!!
