Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
Just look at my Avatar. Deep lyrics are not required for me.
Plaster, caster, grab a hold of me faster
...
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
That is all the meaning I need in a song.I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

tell me that most of the hard rock and metal records put out in the 80s had brilliant lyrics with a straight face.

Aw c'mon, you can't make such broad generalizations. (Hmmm, broads). Where was I? Oh yeah, well one metal band with intelligent lyrics that springs immediately to mind would be the mighty Iron Maiden. I'm sure we can think of many more."Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
Even Dio...Yeah he is a metal god but man does his lyrics blow...
OK don't believe me ...sing "Holy Diver" right now to yourself...or even worse "Double Monday"..
...now what the hell is that????!!!
I think most lyrics suck for the most part...especially "radio" ...it's Homoginized for the herd.
Commercial Radio is just ear candy for mental zombies.."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen"Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
When you're alone and the sun's gone down
One more time
Must you prentend that some light still shines
Sounds like double Monday
Yeah
Each time you think that you've just begun
It's the end
Oh, someone you love wants to just be friends
Sounds like double Monday
Yeah
Feels like snakes and spiders
Crawling up your body
Every someday double Monday
Like a fly against the wall
Just when you think you've seen it all you
You lose your special place to hide
So get ready for the ride, ride, ride
Yeah
Every someday double Monday"Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
You want good rock lyrics? Put on Never Mind the Bollocks, it doesn't get any better than that.
There must be somebody out there singing about drug crazed rebellious chicks who always swallow?
I think all those lyrics ended up in rap music. It seems every other rap tune is called "You Can't Have Your Crack Till You Blow Me" or "You Bitches Be Fine" or "My Woody is Your Booty's Duty" etc. etc.
Maybe thats why all the rock bands are sad and grumpy, all their women are busy chasing bling bling.Comment

Re: RANT: When did rock radio lyrics start to suck
I think it comes down to this:
rock - mostly not serious
metal - always serious
the lyrics usually reflects these opposing attitudes in the music....Comment
