| I didn't realize Queensryche was a person. Guess "That guy from Queensryche" would have shown their disingenuous "journalism" a bit more clearly. |

| I love KISS as much as the next guy but Paul Stanley's inclusion on this list is probably justified. Let's face it, their lyrics ain't exactly Shakespeare. _________________ "Boys, set the terror level at code brown, 'cause I need to change my pants." -- President Hathaway, "Monsters vs. Aliens"Check out my CD reviews and other geeky nonsense at HubPages! http://hubpages.com/profile/FatFreddysCat  |

If these list-makers are that insanely moronic then I'm not even going to bother debating these lists anymore. There's absolutely no point. |

| I'm feelin' low, no place to go And I'm a-thinking that I'm gonna scream Because a hotel all alone is not a Rock and roll star's dream But just when I'm about to shut the light and go to bed A lady calls and asks if I'm too tired or if I'm just to dead for
Room service, baby I could use a meal Room service, you do what you feel Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain I can't say no
My plane's delayed and I'm afraid They're gonna keep me waiting here till nine Then a stewardess in a tight blue dress says "I got the time"
But just as I'm about to take my coat and get my fly She says "Oh please", she's on her knees And one more time before I leave I get some
Room service, baby I could use a meal Room service, you do what you feel Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain I can't say no, no
In my home town, I'm hangin' 'round With all the ladies treatin' me real good A sweet sixteen lookin' hot and mean says I wish you would
But just as I'm about to tell her "Yes, I think I can" I see her dad, he's getting mad All the time he knows that I'm in need of

| Genius? Where the's LOL smiley, firehouse? Haha. You guys want to read the lyrics to the very first song I wrote? | Quote: | UNDER PRESSURE
When you feel alone, so alone inside And you're always awake, but you don't feel alive Then you meet a couple friends, they push you too far And you forget who you really are
Cuz when you’re under pressure, you feel so alone Under pressure, you have nowhere to go Yeah, when you're under pressure, you feel so alone Under pressure, you're losing...control
Now if you had a family and someone to love I guess your life would not be so tough And if you had someone to help you along You might not do all those things that are wrong
Cuz when you’re under pressure, you feel so alone Under pressure, you have nowhere to go Yeah, when you're under pressure, you feel so alone Under pressure, you're losing...control
Now there's a place not far away That you could be visiting any day Don't take your chances, only you've got the answers And you'll have the chance to say...
When you’re under pressure, you feel so alone Under pressure, you have nowhere to go Under pressure, you're always stuck in a hole Under pressure, you lose all...control |
1987, baby! I was 12 years old, writing about drugs. Haha. To this day, I've never even tried drugs. So stupid. I still want to record this song. I never did. But it's all still in my head like it was yesterday. |

| It's funny though, I don't see Kurt Cobain on that list at all. The writer of such classics as;
Smells Like Teen Spirit: "With the lights out it's less dangerous Here we are now Entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now Entertain us A mulatto An albino A mosquito My Libido Yeah"
Heart Shaped Box: "I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"
and who can forget that classic family sing-along...
Rape Me: "Rape me, my friend Rape me again
I'm not the only one Do it and do it Again
Waste me Taste me, my friend
My favorite inside source I'll kiss your open sores Appreciate your concern You'll always stink and burn
Genius if I have ever seen. Those are much better songs than "Hard Luck Woman", "Hey Jude", "Limelight", "Ramble On"...you get the picture. |

| The thing with Cobain is that his lyrics were generally interesting. He never really wrote about a certain subject. He basically just picked pieces from his random thought ramblings and pieced it all together for lyrics. Nothing he wrote was very poignant or profound, but I often found it poetic and interesting. |

| COme on! Paul McCartney? Robert Plant? JIM MORRISON!?!??!?!?!? What about Paul Stanley!?!?!? They should have include Gene Simmons...Nothin' To Lose is about A*nal sex... ''Before I had a baby I didn't care anyway I thought about the back door I didn't know what to say But once I got a baby I, I tried every way She didn't wanna do it But she did anyway
But baby please don't refuse You know you got nothin' to lose'' |

Yeah! Ace Frehley has one in the same style. ''She wants a rocket ride, She Wants a rocket ride...'' Both these songs are sooooooo great! |

| What I have taken away from this list is that NSYNC wrote better lyrics than The Doors. Makes sense to me.  |

| Some of the folks on this list don't belong here, and are included solely because they have never been darling of the critics. Neil Peart is certainly one of them. Sure, some of his lyrics can border on pretentiousness, but overall I think he has written some great lyrics. Most Rush fans will cite his songwriting and lyrical skills as the reason they have remained true to the band, even through their less creative periods. |
