What artist of popular modern music writes the best lyrics?
Other urls found in this thread:
The kind that doesn't have any
Kendrick Lamar
Nas desu
PJ Harvey up until her latest album also
Lyrics should never be measured alone, it would be bland for a song to just sing Joycean prose. The artist ought to exploit their song to the fullest extent.
cLOUDDEAD's lyrics are a good example of what I mean.
John Darnielle.
the dismemberment plan do their best
All rap should be disregarded in the discussion of artistic quality
Joanna Newsom. Veeky Forums as fuck and a qt 2 boot.
All of your opinions should be disregarded in the discussion of artistic quality.

Death Grips

Been listening to Daughter, though I don't think it constitutes as "popular modern music".
OK Computer era Thom Yorke is GOAT.
...
this tbqh, Have One On Me is the best album since 2000
Sufjan Stevens, Daughter, Thom Yorke, Iron & Wine, Darnielle
i like the Silvio Rodriguez lyrics from his first albums (i haven't listened the other ones already)
Los Jaivas have the best lyrics because they use poetry written by Pablo Neruda
Yes to Sufjan and Yorke

i agree somewhat with MC Ride, he's very good lyrically at times.
Phil Elverum is also good
Waking up
Beside you I’m a loaded gun

Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys is pretty great
