I have to agree because, there many other people who will support you lyrics don't get hung up on those who don't, thats why i have to work with 2 bands because one is iwth my friends and and kit(who is our keyboardist) donsn't like some of the lyrics me and squeak write. so i decided to start another with "Lil Bro" who supports praticals everything i write.

Well, I'm certainly not planning to play the first song in the same set as the others. Thanks for clarifying what probably should have been obvious to me! I'm not set on doing things my way, I think criticism within a band is a good things for me. This is because musically (not lyrically, but musically) all these ideas just seem to spout out from my fingers and mouth non-stop. Although I've got great ability for actually coming up with musical ideas I'm very bad at judging which of them are good and which aren't, so I need musicians around who have better taste, are more critical and can channel my ideas.
However, I would say that your comment is true for a majority of bands, following one person's creative flow might tend to bring more direction and coherence to the music.
