These are some overused lyrics that should be forbidden:
-hold me tight (number one classic!) -you're the one -believe in me -losing my mind -fall from grace (all the rage nowadays, it appears) -yeah (as filler if you're out of inspiration) -you make me feel..
I'll post some more later I think..

I totally agree with you, RW. The problem is that the radio landscape these days is growing more and more homogeneous. Each successive musical group has a smaller pool of inspiration to draw from, and as a consequence the music gets more and more bland, until eventually you get a patternless mush that, while unoffensive, is forgotten as soon as you turn the radio off.
Normally I'd take this opportunity to plug certain bands that buck that trend, but I don't think I need to be so blunt.

But inspiration isn't imagination. I guess that is why you like TMBG so much Sol...cause they have more imagination than any of the top 40 cruddy ass bands.
And the thing I like about them, and damn it if they ain't starting to grow on me like a rash , (oh and Sting for that matter) is that they are intelligent and use intelligent lyrics. Ones that challenge you and make you think even after the music stops.

Other awful lyrics:
-freak (as a noun) (R&B? AAAAAHHHHHGGHHHH!) -you/I are/am (not) the only one

that little song up there *nods up* would be a HIT! on commercial radio.

also, you just made me realise RW, that maybe I too am getting sick of the lyrics about. for the last 2-3 months, i've been going sound track crazy.
as some of you may have guessed.
I have just recently got the 20th Anniversary CD of the TMP soundtrack.

Anyone heard of the Moody Blues? I love that band... Old as they are and still going, I can't get enough.

The imaginative bands I listen to don't get radio play. Like say, the southern rock band Nashville Pussy.
, (oh and Sting for that matter) is that they are intelligent and use intelligent lyrics. Ones that challenge you and make you think even after the music stops.
