bluesboy Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I'm partial to the lyricists of yesteryear. The musicals from Lerner and Loewe and Rodgers and Hammerstein , etc. Growing up in the 1950's & '60's, I was playing those songs in high school orchestra.

Shawna Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Oh Shawna your gonna hate me for this...but since I joined this site I keep wondering who the hottie is you use as an avie. hate you - are you nuts? Anybody who thinks Roger is a hottie has simply got good taste. My resident hottie is Roger Clyne, formerly of the Refreshments, and currently of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. If you'd like to have a listen to some of his tunes, and see some more photos, here's a link to his MySpace (RCPM) and here's one to his Website . Enjoy!

MuzikTyme Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Answering this question is akin to choose between water or air. Lennon and McCartney. The greatest . . . because each grew from the ideas and creativity of each. It always takes two to make something truly perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Aimee Mann's lyrics are brilliant but they make me want to crawl in bed and pull the covers up over my head. Springsteen and Henley have been mentioned on here, I like those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
