well the purpose of a pop song is to get ppl singing it, so that they want to listen to it, so that they buy it, so that the record company can make lots of $£$£$£!! So that's ONE purpose for singing, i spose..... nice and synical!

I think punk only got boring when it lost it's ideals and became pop-punk, recycling the punk from days gone by.

Alot of lyrics just have a knack of getting on my nerves... they're either really cliched, or cheesy, or exagerrated, or just plain annoying... the world is lacking talented lyric writers.
I did all for the nookie...come on!... the nookie... come one!... so you can take that cookie... and stick it up yourYEAH! Stick it up yourYEAH! Stick it up your YEAH!
Someone hang him!

What do you mean Ophecks, those are some of the most insightful thought provoking lyrics ever recorded. Next to rolin' rolin' rolin'...that is.

the funny thing is that we all know those lyrics even though we hate them.
how about that new emo crap song by dash board confessional.
"your hair is everywhere, screaming infidelities"

Another great lyric crime is Alanis Morrisette's 'Ironic', in which she names, rather ironically, a bunch of things that aren't ironic.

thx for ur responses:
Aminal I think that's really interesting, maybe people who listen to electronic music are older souls and are able to communicate without words but with music, the language of the heavens =)
Oh and about poprock music sounding hardcore and important, oh my god its pathetic. I heard this song on the radio, of some wanna be rocker singing:
I had to fight to lose it aaallllll but in the end, it doesn't really maaaatttteeerr
That chorus must have repeated at least 12 times in the song. He tried to sing it in that grungy hardcore voice, my god. Not only does that not mean anything, THAT DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING RHYME YOU ASSHOLE.

But if we're sticking to the might Bizkit, I'd go for "Now I know why you wanna hate me, now I know why you wanna hate me, now I know why you wanna hate me. It's because I insist on wearing this stupid red cap back-to-front all the time and jumping around like a monkey while shouting facile quasi-rhymes."

Heh heh. After looking at the topic title I've realised that Phobia meant, "Does anyone need to find the lyrics to a particular IDM [<- for want of a better term] track?", whereas we all interpreted it as, "Are lyrics necessary?"

Well well, I think Lyrics or a vocal sample sometimes can enhance a TRACK greatly. But its not neccesary for me to enjoy music.....

I think the reason people want lyrics is that for the casual listener, it's easier to allow yourself to be touched emotionally with words... although I find with music that has no words it touches me more... plus it's wide open as to what it can do for you... it's not held to say a break-up, or any situation, it can apply to all situations... as I like to say, I'm getting sick of people telling me through song what I should feel... give me music without words, and I'm happy... and the songs that I still do enjoy with lyrics, I rarely think about what is being said with the lyrics, I like them because the words sound good, and flow nicely...

I like music with or without lyrics, because I consider the artists voice to just be another instrument in the overall sound. As long as the singer has some degree of vocal talent, lyrics are fine with me.

In my opinion the worst lyrical crime I've ever heard comes from an Australian band named "Silverchair". You may have heard of them as apparently they've done pretty well overseas. They're pretty much Nirvana-wannabes turned really bad art rock.
Anyway, they have a song called Pure Massacre, with the line "People dying for no reason at all, age makes no difference, or if you're large or small"
Of course, with the I-wish-I-was-Kurt-Cobain voice of the lead is sounded like
"Or if you're laaaaaarge or smaaaaa-ooo-aaaaallllllaaaaah!"
Horrible, horrible stuff....

I definetly agree that lyrics can always add to the overall effectiveness of a song, but shouldn't be absolutly needed in order to get the message of the song across, or make the song listenable, which they do for so many people.
