Battle of the lyricists

Anyone fancy Carole King, PJ Harvey, Bjork, Missy Elliot, Patti Smith or anyone else with a vagina? It's very male heavy.

May mate Alan who is a Shrimper from Canvey but now lives in Romania - when he lived in Leeds The Family Cat slept on his floor after a gig there and he slept on the floor too as he gave his bed up for the support act.
Polly Harvey slept in his bed.

I wouldn't wash the sheets. Ever. :Hilarious::Stunned::Dizzy:
 
Damn missed this one. Not a single rapper on there?? that is genre where lyrics are everything

Mostly old white men. A few of them are already dead. Not sure what that says about the state of modern music or the age of the SZ musos. :ROFL:
 
Would have loved to have nominated Rakim or Ice T, but sadly no-one else would have voted for them.
I'd have voted Rakim 100% he would have been up there for who I'd have nominated. I think my number one lyricist would have been Tony Rotten (Blak Twang) and I know nobody would vote for him (or probably know of him)

Yeah he's pretty good.

By the by, with some hiphop, it's ghostwritten, so hard to tell who's the real lyricist. The DOC wrote a lot of the early gangster rap for example.
 
Shane McGowan, Nick Cave, Chuck D, Missy Elliot, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Prince - all missing.
