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

All of your opinions should be disregarded in the discussion of artistic quality.

>Am I in love with you

>No one means what they they say, and you can tell as clear as deep sea fish, all internal organs and glowing eyes

Came here to post other artists but actually this.

Death Grips

>I'm as black as the heart of a mother-fuckin' Aryan.

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
>daughter
no.

this and fiona apple

it was like being beaten over the head with one of those charity ads from tv

lol at this fucking post, bob dylan is a lyrical joke.
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

idgaf that line is great

Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys is pretty great

St. Vincent

no he's not, come on now.

yes.

why dylan is a joke?
