Re: What musicians are poets?I believe all musicians are poets in some way or the other. Instead of using just words to paint a picture(which poetry really is)the musicians uses sound also to convey a feeling that otherwise he/she might not be able to convey thru words alone. Chris Martin of Coldplay writes some of the best poetical lyrics ive ever heard. Listen to "Viva La Vida" and with your minds eye watch all the imagery he throws at you. |

Re: What musicians are poets?In addition to Dylan and Morrison (who are not to be understated), Paul Simon is a brilliant poet and musician. "Flowers never bend with the rain" is one of my favorite poems AND songs... |

Re: What musicians are poets?One of the greatest musician/singers-poet was Hank Williams. Followed by Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Johnny Cash. |

Re: What musicians are poets?I guess I'm very new school. Eminem and Tupac are two of my favorites. Rob Thomas, Kyle Riabko, Justin Nozuka, India.Arie, Lauryn Hill, Adam Levine, John Mayer. |

Re: What musicians are poets?Don't laugh, but Dwight Yoakam has some pretty deep and soul stirring lyrics out there...People say a lot of negative things about him, but it's been proven that no one can imitate his voice. He is also college educated and writes the majority of his own lyrics, unless he is doing a tribute (like his CD where he did all Buck Owens songs). I'm a die hard Yoakam fan, so it's hard to pinpoint a favorite, but listen to 1000 miles from nowhere and you'll see what I'm talking about. |

Re: What musicians are poets?Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and yes, of course, Paul Simon. and oh, yes, James Taylor. |
|
Re: What musicians are poets?Glen Frye and Don Henley come to mind just because their style is so effortless and story driven. How about Don McLean, Billy Joel and Joanie Mitchell? And not to forget Leonard Cohan, who is in fact a poet first and then a performer. |

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
