Trophy Scars is another one for me. Those guys lean to and from Post-Hardcore in a lot of ways, and Jerry's lyrics are by far the most personal to me. Without the lyrical content and delivery, they would just be an average band. But throughout the entire "Alphabet. Alphabets." album I am stricken with nostalgia, sadness, happiness, angst, and multiple other emotions that most music can hardly ever get out of me. In their later years, they've become more cryptic with the writing, and the raw poetic drive has been lost, but the creativity and emotion is still there, though you have to dive into it a bit more.
experience for me!

Yeah, man! Death Cab, The Postal Service, ATDI, The Mars Volta, and Deftones! <3I will listen to music just for the instrumental parts, and some of my favorites are based just on that.

And of course the old masters that were mentioned earlier, such as Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, Mark Knopfler, The Beatles and many others.
i'd have to say Every Time I Die. Keith has such a way with words (being an english major probably helps). the music isn't all that bad but a little basic. i had first started listening to hem when my ex GF picked up New Junk Aesthetic on a whim (she liked the cover) and wasn't overly impressed. but after repeated listens and a few active listenings i found myself loving his lyrics. now i'm a rather big fan of that band and it was 100% the lyrics that...
