I'd have to say Freddie Mercury, because he's the musician i respect the most.

Dave Mustaine 1983 -2002, sadly he's a born again christian now which has drastically limited his lyrics.
Putrefaction you've caused, No need for confession. Now you wish you had a god, To stop your demolition. Crushing the bones of the hundred folds, Swinging the judgement hammer. Man, woman, child no-one is safe The heads of the dead are the banner.

Beethoven. WHAT UP!
Probably Eminem. He's still the only rapper I can listen to without wanting to punch myself. Seriously, I don't give a shit about your car, or your money, or who you screwed in that trashy club...wish more people would actually put thought into lyrics. Maybe rap wouldn't be such a joke.
Also shameless entry for John Lennon and Elliot Smith. Both had incredible lyrics.Last edited by Shamslam; 2011-04-20 at 04:27 PM.

2011-04-20, 04:29 PM #15DeletedSorry I only had 10 spaces lol. I considered putting John Lennon but I figured we could consider him as the Beatles. I also couldn't put Beethoven, Aretha Franklin, Biggie, Freddie Mercury and so many more :/ Originally Posted by Shamslam

I think Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album of all time, so i'd say Roger Waters.
@ Rashunt : Waters wrote pretty much everything from that album on, i agree Gilmour is still one of the best guitarist in the world, but i'm unaware if Gilmour wrote more than his guitars while in Pink Floyd, so i prefer to take the group as a whole (excluding barrett from albums after DSotM)

You can't have that many "greatest". Maybe greatest per genre or something. Originally Posted by twistedsista

Also, musician and lyricist aren't necessarily the same thing. Some amazing songs are written by someone and sang by someone else so ;\

Depends on the genre.
Chopin.
Beethoven.
Award for "Theme Songs with Most Happy Memories Associated" goes to Nobuo Uematsu.
Rush are Progressive Rock Gods, regardless of the members. (still partial to the Lee/Lifeson/Peart group)
Trent Reznor is amazing.
We have yet to see/hear Michael Jackson's equal.
Clapton(cream years) and BB King (finally saw him live in November!!!!) both put smiles on my face.
Elton... 'nuff said.
Eminem is one of the best lyricists/storytellers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
There are so many more, but that list is a decent start.

Martin O'Donell is a boss. I honestly think its the music that really made Halo great.
Band: Led Zepplin. I don't even know how they could be considered with any other pop culture artists at all. Originally Posted by High Overlord Saurfang
