Good music can redeem bad lyrics (see: a lot of prog) but if the music is terrible I don't care what the lyrics are saying.

Agreed. Though sometimes this can work in reverse too. There are some songs that have such stupid lyrics that it starts to effect my enjoyment of the music. I'm perfectly fine with the good music + passable lyrics equation though.

That's how I feel.

As for prog, it's probably a good thing I don't understand Italian, German or Spanish as the lyrics could very well be laughable and ruin the music for me. Unless they're passable and not anything too cringe-worthy...but I mean if they were really god-awful.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

Yeah it's served me well as an industrial/EBM fan all these years.

I'm sure you can relate.
