What band do you think has the best lyrics?

[Opethfan1980]

I like Opeth's lyrics quite a bit.

Tool is amazing, lyrically.

But, I think Pain of Salvation has the best lyrics of any band in metal.


The lyrics in "Remedy Lane" were just heart-wrenching and amazingly brilliant.

 

[thirdeye]

hmm id have to go with Hum and Tool...

 

[Jim LotFP]

Skyclad.

 

[Ormir]

Dark Tranquillity and Enochian Crescent.

 

[Opethfan1980]

"Enochian Crescent?"

What style are they?

 

[Morgour]

old metallica

 

[mindflesh]

Manowar

No, seriously: Dark Tranquillity. The song with the best lyrics ever is "Hedon".

 

[Hexxan]

id have to say Metallica (KEA - AJFA) and Pain of Salvation

 

[Dragn]

By far--BY FAR--Pain Of Salvation. Imo, anyone who answers differently either hasn't heard the band or hasn't properly analyzed the music

 

[Alex78]

Tool, Meshuggah

 

[Opethfan1980]

I'm glad some people agree with me about Pain of Salvation. "A Trace of Blood" has probably the most moving and amazing lyrics of any song I've ever heard.

Seriously, Carcass for their gore lyrics (especially in "Necroticism"), and Opeth (their lyrics are so pleasant...it's a delight to me)

 

[southernaxeman]

Pantera

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Divina Enema

Pain of Salvation (Not only are the lyrics amazing, but they are sung so emotionally that it's brought to a whole different level, also, see my sig )

Porcupine Tree

Death

 

[jester00]

pain of salvation- one hour by the concrete lake


after reading about it i was stunned by the lyrics... just awsome

 

[Parasite]

Dark Tranquillity, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Pearl Jam...


Call me a fanboy, but I like Opeth the best.

 

[Liquid Tension]

I'll jump on the Pain Of Salvation wagon and I'm surprised at the number of people who agree.

 

[Punisher]

rush.
except dog years...

 

[Eirik]

Sigur Ros

but seriously... errrm...

Pain of Salvation, definately...

Opeth get a bit too arty at times and I really didn't care for a lot of Deliverance... ermm..

Tool, are great as well and Maynard James Keenan's awkward melodies are great

In my opinion anyone who says something like "if you don't think they're the best you either haven't heard the band or haven't properly analyzed the music" is a pretentious jerkoff.
