Greg Graffin.
I can't say I love the music of Bad Religion from what I know of it but I love a lot of bands they inspired and I'm keen on their name. If a couple of their recommended tracks are posted up I'm definitely convertable.
 
Gotta be Graffin, but that said Rice is a lyrical genius, although his music doesn't really move me as much.

  • "Peterloo", was requested by Sir Malcolm Arnold's estate to write lyrics to the Peterloo Overture [commemorating the horrific St Peter's Fields Massacre and maiming of men, women and children at a meeting in Manchester in Aug 1819]. There was in mind to use it in 2012 for the Olympics or for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations [60 years on throne] but instead it had its premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London at 'The Last Night of the Proms' on Saturday 13 September 2014 which was broadcast on BBC television.
I think this is an impressive volume of work by one of our great British Lyricists.
 
Fair play to John Lennon (and RHB), I would "Imagine" a beautiful song like this won it for you.
