Kyros:

--- Quote from: Kyros ---Travis Morrison of the Dismemberment Plan has been my favorite for a while now.
Oh and David Byrne, goes without saying.

He was for me also, but then I gave a close listen to Change and his solo stuff. At least the former's music is rad; the latter just sucks in general. It's as if he began a decline after E&I.

I absolutley LOVE the lyrical work on Change, I do agree Travistan was lame as hell though.
Merkava:
Some of Change was great (Automatic, The Other Side) but the rest gets pretty iffy. When I hear him say "It's not like we were married/it was three or four months" or "it's my life and its gonna be good", I cringe.
The Eyeball Kid:

That'd be Jeff Mangum. I have tossed off bedroom bootleg ramblings of his that I consider genius
'My dream girl don't exist
At the age of 5 she slit her wrists
She didn't know i'd be coming around
So they buried her in the ground'
its the way he sings it... my god.
octozombie:
Jeff Magnum (as just said), Elliott Smith, Jeff Tweedy.
Magnum is so...fucking.......brilliant.
