Oh, I get it. You're one of those "emo" kids. It's ok, son, you'll grow out of it.
I wish. Then I'd have emotions. And a dink.
I didn't mean to make fun of your heroes, Maury. I'm just jealous of their lifestyle. I'll write a poem about it and send it your way.

Ah, my mistake. But you have to admit--your posting style totally smells like dude.

I figured it was all in fun--hence the "emo" reply, rather than a reasoned argument. And you did kick off this thread of appreciation.

(for Hosoi

Hosoi wrote:Modest Mouse - Second worst band in America.
HEY, LAD, YOUR FRIENDS ARE STUPID.
You take all the desserts in the world. I hope you die in a cave filled with cats where children come to throw rocks at you.
Although I find myself agreeing with Hosoi about Modest Mouse: Isaac Brock.
I likely need some evidence on this one:
*
Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
And a paper plate of course, you think of everything
Short love with a long divorce
And a couple of kids of course
They don't mean anything
Live in trailers with no class
goddamn I hope I can pass high school means nothing
Taking heartache with hard work
Goddamn I am such a jerk, I can't do anything
*
Two one eyed dogs, they're looking at stereos
Hi-fi Gods try so hard to make their cars low to the ground
These vibrations oil its teeth
Primer gray is the color when you're done dying
I'm trying to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away
*
it was all the rotating eyes
it was all on the same postcard
it was all on the same damn shirt
said to sleep in the same Sear's camp house
it was all in the great state parks
it was all on the same Greyhound
it was all so many miles
beneath the dirty brown dirt
twenty miles down the islands
the biggest mall on Earth
it was all in the same rest stop
it was wall on the same damn shirt
it was all on the same Greyhound
sunspots
in the house of the late scapegoat
be aware the paint's still peeling
all muscle cars made of lead
I got myself a fine fine fine fine friend
it was all in the next gray ghost
it was all in the same damn place
the parts to pound attractive
*
Their custom concern for the people
Build up the monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me
to reach for my shoes then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta get a job
*
Well aren't you feeling real dirty
Sitting in the parking lot
Waiting to bleed on the big streets
That bleed out on the highways and
Off to other cities built to make and
store these (plastic) rocks
(x20)
*
let's all have another Orange Julius
Thick syrup standing in lines
The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
so long, farewell, good-bye
*
A memo left on the forehead of God
Sent sealed and signed by the saints who sang this song:
"We're going union like they say
We'll buy the congregation
Then one day, you'll find us sitting
in your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares."
*
Every sick, fickle fucker
Childhood's what makes ya
*
Also sure to win me favor here, the lyrics on “Exile in Guyvilleâ€

"Are You Passionate" is a pretty good song. The record is not so great, but Neil Young has written many (100%) more great songs than the lispy, chubby guy.
You cannot take the lyrics to that song and pretend they are the only ones Neil Young ever wrote.
You and your argument are weak.
The short, retarded guy is a relative teenager. He has nothing interesting to say. He is mostly complaining.
He has thousands of dollars for nothing. What is his problem? It's not like he plays for the Yankees and lost 22-0.

Is it too late to nominate the singer from Sigor Ros to this list? Don't remember if this is true or one of those things I just made up two years ago but I heard that they had a contest for their fans to name the language that dude who sounds like not a dude sings in. Bjork tends to sing in this language as well. As do babies and junkies.

I second David Berman (of the Silver Jews). As far as I'm concerned, few do 'turning ordinary into interesting' and witty little twists as well as DCB.
and Malkmus (his lyrics on the EPs preceding Slanted are among my favourites)
Bob Pollard ... on my list.
and MY BLOODY VALENTINE!!!!!! ..... just kidding.

Pony up. Let’s see some brilliant Neil lyrics.
Incidentally, I’m happy to see you shove Isaac Brock around online (“Biff!" “Pow!" “Kazaam!") -- he deserves it and a blow to the base of his fat neck. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t penned some good lyrics though.

See: "Revolution Blues"
"Well I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars, but I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars."
See: "Sleeps with Angels"
"She rang up phone bills, she moved around from town to town."
This list could go on and on and on and on.
I'm actually getting a stomach ache thinking that someone would compare Modest Mouse to Neil Young.
The both use guitars, and that's it.
WTF?!?
Hosoi for pres.
