One of my wife's friends was complaining about a heavy metal song I liked. She said, "I can't even understand the lyrics!" And I was like "What does that have to do with anything?!" 😅

Not saying he didn't always, but he really started massively pushing the boundaries of his sound starting with Transcendental Blues. I'd rather artists take risks and have a few failures than fall into a safe rut and churn out more of the same.

I agree, that is my second least favourite of the album. The rest is amazingly great.

Mostly the music, but man, bad lyrics really can ruin an otherwise good song for me.

I thought this was in reference to the band Power Trip who's singer unfortunately died a couple years ago. It's too bad it isn't. They were so good.

If it's Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen - I'm listening for the lyrics.
Pretty much anyone else it's the music BUT, the lyrics do help enhance the experience if they're meaningful.

I think it depends a lot on the song. I like a lot of songs for their lyrics, but if the musicality isn't there, it's never going to be a good song. There are tons of songs I like that have pretty trite lyrics, but they sound great. I even like a lot of songs that sound good, and the lyrics are good, even when I don't like the message of the song. I'm probably more lyrics focused than the average music fan, so the best songs to me have great music and lyrics, and I can really enjoy a very simple song (so long as it still sounds good) if it has great lyrics. I like a good story song.
Listen to the lyrics of the song Hook by Blues Traveler. It's all about how lyrics don't matter/no one cares about the lyrics, so long as the song sounds good.

>Iggy Pop - The Passenger. It has David Bowie
Pro Tip: Go look up the song "Pretty Pink Rose" by Adrien Belew. You're welcome.

That's outright false. The song is about that person.

Wizard: "There are two guards. One tells the truth, one tells lies. We must learn which is which to get through the magic door!"
Ork kills one one of the guards, then demands of the other, "Is that man dead?"
Guard, trembling for his life, "Errr, no?"
Ork: "This guard the liar."
Rogue applauds.
