I could probably recite tons and tons of Gyllene Tider or Freestyle songs - and they are far from good! :-)<br />And honestly, does people even listen to the lyrics anymore? <br />Also, about Joni Mitchell being folk - why even bother with categorising? I have such diverse taste in music (from rock to Swedish folk (you know, with fiddles and the whole shenanigan) to opera to funk to pop to classic music) that it'd be impossible to label me.

Joni Mitchell was a folk singer until she moved into pop-jazz-fusion. No shame in either one. <br /><br />Lyrics are just poetry until the music gets to them. The poet laureate of rock music is Paul Westerberg (of scandinavian origin?), who solidly trounces anyone I can think of with an almost unending list of unforgettable lyrical images.
