This poll is already making me sick...

I don't know what to tell you. I'm not saying Live's lyrics are worse, and I never did. I'd say SIYM and, say, the rap bit of Like a Soldier are on about the same level lyric wise. "Girl with the pretty pink thong" or a "song so good make a midget grow." At least one of those things is possible.

Uhhh...I never said you said Live's lyrics were worse. You said that they have lots of songs that are lyrically just as bad as Nickelback's SIYM. And I don't agree. As for the example you just gave, I might agree if a song is just made up of one line. However, overall, the lyrics to that song are still not as bad as SIYM. That would be like saying the Killer's "Human" is just as bad as SIYM because of that one nonsensical line "Are we human or are we dancer?" Yes, it's an absurd line, but overall, the song's lyrics are not as terrible as SIYM. Do I think Ed is one of the greatest lyricists of all time? Hell no. Do I think he's above the level of Kroeger? Yes.

I'm not defending Nickleback (I can't stand them), I'm pointing out your hypocrisy regarding the statement about artists having 180 degree changes regarding lyrics. Micheal Stipe wrote "Shiny Happy People," Dylan wrote quite a few sappy love songs, Ed wrote V, Birds of Pray, and SFBM (and there are ALOT of songs on those albums which are just as bad. "Deep Enough," anyone? It's the same thing).

Well, it would probably be a good idea to know what hypocrisy is if you're going to be pointing it out. A hypocrite would be someone who acts in contradiction to their beliefs. How does making the statement I did act in contradiction to my beliefs? The most you could say about my statement is that it's wrong (which it's not). But hypocritical? Not in the least.

I never said that artists who wrote great lyrics were incapable of writing subpar or even bad lyrics. I said that the chances of someone writing a song that's as horrendous as something like SIYM writing genius lyrics is very slim. There are different levels of bad. A song like "Shiny Happy People," while corny, is still much better than SIYM.

I'm sure Kroeger is not a good lyricist. I don't know for sure though, and I don't think you do either, judging from your response, so attacking him for liking the band was uncalled for, and then attacking me for pointing this out was uncalled for as well.


Grow a pair and accept that you made a simple mistake. I didn't want it to be a big deal, but I guess it was stupid for me to assume others on this site would accept their own hiccups.

So basically you're sure that Kroeger isn't a good lyricist, but you're also not sure? Hilarious. Talk about contradicting yourself.

As for attacking you? Funny. So you come in here and post that I don't understand lyrics, and that's just a point you were making? But I tell you that your point is wrong, and that's an attack? Speaking of needing to grow some. Stop it with the passive-aggressive behavior.

As for attacking Merica? What are you? The fricking board police? Merica's a big boy. He can defend himself.
