oh dear, i hate it when people refer to people as 'a **** genius'
cos generally, they're not. sure, maybe his lyrics have some resonance with you, but that doesn't amke him a 'genius'

It's got nothing to do with resonance, I don't really like Elbow.
his lyrics are very good, although I suppose it depends on your definition of genius.

or your interpretation of said lyrics
this is clearly bollocks for a start;
Don't mix your drinks
Don't mix with him.
It will kill you one day.
Good advice. Sound advice.
You need to be like him, like me.
Look what you could achieve.
I'm coming cap-in-hand.
Begging you to listen
Something draws me in!
I just can't christen it.

Er, no
I said you can't dismiss a band because their main stock is their words not their music any more than you can dismiss classical music for not having lyrics. That's not a comparison of quality, do pay more attention, Q, there's a good chap.

And I've been wrong fucking loads on here lately. You're obviously not stalking me well enough.

bollocks, words are jsut a part of the music
yes, they might have nice lyrics, but if the accompanying music is shit, they're shit at being a band

You and me are just going to have to disagree on this one, Q.

that's the point
one man's 'musical genius' is jsut another prick to everyone else

Indeed. that's absolutely the point.
