Music for sure. I listen to music of all genres and languages so half the time there's no way for me to understand what they're saying anyways.

I barely listen to lyrics at all, which is probably why I'm not that into hip hop (excluding experimental hip hop with strangely interesting instrumentals like Death Grips and Injury Reserve)

It’s corpuscular. Unattached, both within the piece and not. It moves freely, always going where it wants but never where it is unwanted. It is an aspirational chord

Dave Grohl on drums for Queens of the stone age. I remember him in the video for no one knows. He was also the devil in Tribute by tenacious D

I heard that ozzy is gonna fo a "throne tour" .. like the king he is. Dave, and Axl did it, when they broke thier legs, so... if anybody deserves a throne, it's ozzy..

We were supposed to play at aftershock festival 2022 because we won the battle but due to visa issues it was cancelled. We're working on ways for it. I guess we can see us soon?!

I agree with you in general, but the OP was asking about a specific type of music. The sad fact is that mainstream music today really doesn't do much social commentary (there are a couple exceptions that others have pointed out, but in a general sense), so it's hard to give good answers besides "you need to broaden what you're listening to". If OP wants to know where it is and it's not on the radio, what other answers are there?

The angle that the lack of mainstream social commentary is most likely by design is another topic, but even if you don't buy into that, it's still not on most radio stations.

Yepp. In an interview with Maynard from tool, someone was asking him about something lyric related and his reply was basically saying if lyrics were so important there would be sold out spoken word tours everywhere.

it’s music not poetry. the lyrics aren’t important to the song but can still be cool.

El Paso rock!

Nadine - Frank Black Adda Lee - Frank Black Sweet Melissa - Allman Brothers Band Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Darling Nikki - Prince Niwashi King - Hirasawa, Susumu Making Plans for Nigel - XTC Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson Knights in Shining Karma - XTC Ruby Love - Cat Stevens Lily - Kate Bush Song of Solomon - Kate Bush Sally by the Fire - Hirasawa, Susumu My name is Prince - Prince Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground Punch and Judy - XTC Sgt Rock - XTC John, I'm only dancing - David Bowie Blue Jean - David Bowie Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie .....no sleep, but I could go on and on...

This band is fucking dope. They will be in my mix for as long as i have ears. Any plans for a US tour?

Depends on the genre of music. Lyrics are pretty important when I listen to folk. Irrelevant if I listen to hyperpop.

There are times where bad lyrics can lessen the song for me though.

Oof yeah that would sound rough. I'm not into newer Metallica and Maynard is excellent, but not the right voice at all.

Toy by Young Fathers

Yeah, I got pretty excited there for a second... Same time though, I don't think I'd want to know what Axl would sound like doing Executioners Tax. Or Ozzy. Or Hetfield. Or Maynard...

RIP Riley.

Some people are lyrics people some are music people. I appreciate both but im a music guy being a musician myself. I also really enjoy lots of instrumentals

Bullet Squiers aren't great. I would take the Yamaha out of these ones.

This particular conversation is about songs that include lyrics, so instrumentals don't really qualify as an answer in regards to what was asked. Additionally, lyrics that are unintelligible don't fit the context of the question about if a person listens to or dissects the lyrics, which is what the OP asked.

Pretty wild that Tool are the youngest band on this bill

This is very sad news but procol harum was not a great band. they had the appropriate acclaim.

Water by Gonzo LeBronzo

Roy Harper sings lead on Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd, not Gilmour or Waters.

My first though was Marcus Mumford on her track Cowboy Like Me!

This is the 7th song on the album I referenced
