Bob Dylan is extremely overrated. He's pretty good, and sometimes crosses into excellent, but doesn't stand up to Nick Drake or Neil Young.

Aesop Rock and Isaac Brock are two of the best modern lyricists.

>Aesop

“There is admittedly an incredible mystique to meddling in the reason a city won’t sleep.”

“And that’s unevenly rendered to those who grew up thinking faith was a surrender of reason but not a reason to surrender.”

>Brock

"Remember through sounds,
Remember through smells,
Remember through colors,
Remember through towns,
With fear and fascination,
On what was here and what's replacing them now.
Interchange causes a mall,
And crowded chain restaurants.
More housing developments go up
Named after the things they replace
So welcome to Minnow Brook
And welcome to Shady Space"

"I'm trying to get my head clear
I push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears.
We tore one down and erected another there
The match of the century: Absence Versus Thin Air"

"Moths beat themselves to death against the lights, adding their breeze to the summer nights"
