Sting tops list of worst lyricists - Yahoo! News

the whole list isn't out yet but this just amazes me.

Quote:

The survey, contained in the November issue that hits newsstands next week, placed Rush drummer Neil Peart at No. 2, Creed frontman Scott Stapp at No. 3, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher at No. 4, and soft-rocker Dan Fogelberg at No. 5.

sting and NEIL PEART worse writers than scott staph-infection?

i rarely pay much attention to lists like this, but this really makes me wonder who would top their "good lyricists" list.

they must think sticking a high-profile person at the top of the list will be good for sales

"Neil Peart is the Worst Lyricist Ever" probably wouldn't catch too many eyes. There's no way Sting should be topping this list though.

Whoever wrote Toto's lyrics should probably be #1 instead:

"AFRICA"
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti/
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

What the fuck. No.

You're kidding right?
His songs may be catchy but the lyrics are pretty shite.
