IMHO, Jackson Browne’s near-perfect 1976 album “The Pretender” has a speed-bump with “Linda Paloma”, a beautiful but jarring diversion to the overall flow with its Spanish-influenced sound that just sounds odd.

Glad I am not the only one. Everyone around me almost instantly remembers the lyrics on a song and there's me who actually has to listen to it 100 times to be able to sing along... for a bit. Anyways, lyrics are not really important for me and my favorite genres doesn't always have lyrics anyway.

There are songs I consider favorites that I've heard thousands of times, that i would not recognize by the written lyrics untitled in front of my face.

I’d opt for “Within You, Without You”, of which I absolutely love the lyrics but the length of the song seems tedious.

The last 35 sec of that song is so good.

Well the blues are long dead so it would have to be hip-hop. Jack Black and Kyle Gass would be pretty awesome with Ice Cube, Ice T , LL Cool J, Childish Gambino, RZA...

Mark Hoppus on I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan.
A fun little verse that geeked the little emo/punk kid in me.

Lyrics, idk sometimes really bad lyrics just ruin a song for me worse than the music itself

I got the first part wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's "my" at the end and not "your", no?

Lyrics are definitely important to me, and it’s why I like certain bands more than others when their lyrics are thought provoking or tell a story that hits a certain way. I was also shocked to find that people don’t pay attention to lyrics and oftentimes have no idea what a song is about. Blows my mind. Songs are like poetry timed to music.

Doug by The Coolies.
After releasing their first album, dig...?, which was all covers of Simon & Garfunkel dongs along with a cover of "You're Having My Baby," they released this rock opera about a skinhead who kills a cook, steals his recipes, and becomes a famous chef. After feeling guilty & becoming paranoid that everyone knows what he did, he starts smoking crack & loses everything. Each song on the record riffs on another band's song, including The Who, the Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, & The Replacements. It came with a comic book of the album's story.

See: Labyrinth
"One of us always tells the truth, and one of us always lies. He lies."
Edit: Or this other one I heard from Davey Havok on Loveline many years ago...
"If I asked you to sleep with me, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?"

Howard Stern claims she told him and that he forgot who she said. I call bullshit.

That makes me wonder how many one hit wonders are country specific.
