You clearly haven’t listened to him

he was only a lyricist

No one comes close to Leonard. His lyrics are unmatched. I think Tom Waits comes close when it comes to creating a mood, but still could never match the desolation found on songs like "Love Calls You By Your Name," or "Avalanche."

Ryan Adams.

Chance the Rapper

Adam Sandler

Mark kozelek

Jon Anderson
Stevie Wonder
Hammerstein and Rogers
Jimmy Page

I mean, Leonard Cohen is nice to listen to, but he isn't the creme of the crop.

Mark Kozelek

He's not wrong. There's more to songwriting than lyrics.

These. Especially kozelek and dylan

that picture always reminds me of al pacino

There's none, at least if taken to mean consistently good

why do Jews LARP as folk musicians?

Adam Sandler

Writing lyrics you mean. Because the music is nothing special

I honestly can’t tell if that’s a joke, I mean I like the cure but fuck off.

100% rip

Warren Zevon

Bowie. He gave people some good hits too

Paul McCartney

Waifu fag or woman, which one are you?

*daddy/Syd (same thing) and "worlds fucked you sheeple"

>Jimmy Page
What the fuck dude? Everyone you listed could sing and write songs, all Jimmy could do is write riffs

You cheeky rascal.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

It's not a joke. They both write songs about love and relationships but the difference is that Smith has more honesty and subtlety to his lyrics. Cohen really comes off as a sexually repressed nerd with a thesaurus in his hand.

Al Pacino

Learn how to read idiot. Ironies can be as multidimensional as human imagination, they almost have no limit. They form the essence of all great writing, including lyrics.

You had to resort to name calling because you know I'm right.
