Mark do not get me wrong I do appreciate good lyrics....even if I do not understand them.....I am a YES fan.....try understanding some of their lyrics.....I gave up at the shiny purple wolfhound. LOL
I am also a fan of some of the profound and deep lyricists whose lyrics are clever and thought provoking. Heck I even like some of the dumb lyrics......BUT generally in todays music most lyrics are unimportant as is the singers performance.....it is the production, hype, marketing and peer pressure that makes a hit. Sadly the public seem to get less discerning and more gullible with each generation.
Re todays music that I supposedly hate......well full marks for production just a pity they choose such poor songs and untalented singers to perform them.
