Why? Doesnt it depend what you are listening to? Lyrics CAN be key to the overall quality of the music you are listening to but not exclusively.

I don't listen to much hair metal but if i was gonna put a hair metal band on i probably wouldnt even be paying any attention to the lyrics but i certainly wouldnt be using that criteria to judge them.

And what about instrumental music? If lyrics are important to ANY song or to any band then instrumental bands would all just fall flat on their arse, wouldnt they?

What about bands that dont write or sing in English, or a language you understand. I enjoy a fair bit of music where i literally have no idea what the lyrics are. They could be about anything.

You took my "any" way too seriously. What I mean is I, and I mean I, focus not only the music, but also listen to the lyrics. I am the type of person who plays the song twice, once to enjoy it, and the second time to try and make out the lyrics. I don't base my liking on the lyrics, many songs on my library I hate the lyrics, but I still listen to them.

I love instrumetal rock/metal songs, they're actually my favorite kind of music, an all instrumental band would be amazing.

Lyrics might have different meaning to different people. I for one don't judge based on lyrics, but it is interesting hearing what goes along with that guitar riff.

I think Pearl Jam is a good example of this, Eddie's moaning and groaning sounds good with the music, I can't understand a ****ing word he is saying, but it doesn't matter, sounds good.

The lyrics are one aspect of a song's aura. Just as if a song had a part for cello that was written really bad and sounded bad, but the rest sounded amazing - there's still that bad cello. Some people might not mind the cello, others will find it totally distracting and counterproductive. Lyrics are the hardest part of song writing to master, because everyone disagrees on them.

Sooo...I've decided to put the Hall of Fame on hold for a week.

In the meantime, you all can send me as many nominations as you desire. Make sure you at least have a write up on why you're nominating the band/artist.

I look forward to logging on to an inbox overflowing with PM's!

Lyrics may not be pivotal to a hair metal band, but when it comes to artists like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Dylan etc etc ... I find the lyrics to be an extremely important part of the music. There are many aspects to music of course, but when there are lyrics, if they're well-written and thought-provoking then it really adds to the song for me.
