Sometimes, you hear a song and the lyrics really do a good job of telling an interesting story - together with a nice melody. My favorite is "Vincent" by Don McLean.

Anyway, curious to know if you guys might have a favorite....

You stole my thunder. That's my next favorite. Even his humorous songs were well written.... Stock Car Roy and Working at the Carwash Blues.... classic.

croce might have been the best singer/songwriter that i have ever heard. i owe my father for my love for him.

elton john/bernie taupin are pretty damn good together as well.

I think 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle is an amazingly written song.
