    Eminem, without a doubt for me. Go beyond all the crappy stuff that gets him recognized in the media (songs about killing, raping, etc), and he has some truly amazing music. There is just so much emotion in it, and it speaks to anyone who feels they are alone/depressed/misunderstood/etc.

    Lose Yourself, Rabbit Run, 25 To Life, and Space Bound are songs I would highly recommend for people who want to give him a shot. The culture of his music might not appeal to older crowds, but the message is there, and its impossible to ignore the passion and skill that Em puts into it. Definitely the voice of my generation

    UntilTheDont'sCallMe.......my best friend was killed in Nam while I played football in college. My dad was shot three times fighting the GODDAM JAPS in WWII and survived. Lived his life in pain until he died. War is hell and people suffer..always. You guys I don't understand and other than the SONGWRITERS thread I would take offense to anything that's suggest our army, navy, air force are not doing there dudy. Otherwise...I would tell you and your fucken friends to GO **** THEMSELVES YOU PANTY WASTE BASTARDS.

    But, this is a songwriters forum....so I will keep my thoughts to myself Untilthedont..............

    My best friend was killed in Nam.

    My dad was shot three times in WWII fighting the Goddam JAPS. He never complained but always was in pain until he died. His brother lost an arm in Germany. He never complined but died an alcoholic.

    I respect all opinions.....but go to hell you anti panty waste. You make me sick.

    Either your a idiot or you just dont understand lyrics. The song is not about our military not doing thier job its about a world without war and world peace.

    Now if we had the power to bring our soldiers home from war we would have never missed a christmas no more ribbons on their doors......

    what in that phrase leads you to believe the writer is talking about not doing your duty. Hes saying if there wasnt a war or hate on this planet our neighbors wouldnt be dying for that cause.

    Me and all my friends
    We're all misunderstood
    They say we stand for nothing and
    There's no way we ever could

    Now we see everything that's going wrong
    With the world and those who lead it
    We just feel like we don't have the means
    To rise above and beat it

    So we keep waiting
    Waiting on the world to change
    We keep on waiting
    Waiting on the world to change

    It's hard to beat the system
    When we're standing at a distance
    So we keep waiting
    Waiting on the world to change

    Now if we had the power
    To bring our neighbors home from war
    They would have never missed a Christmas
    No more ribbons on their door
    And when you trust your television
    What you get is what you got
    Cause when they own the information, oh
    They can bend it all they want

    Started with Townes Van Zandt.. (Worth exploring for many)

    My last post on this site. TVZandt is one of the few writers/song guys who has meaning. Other great writers..etc....are out there.

    Big Townes fan as well as the others on your list. Would add Doug Sahm, Warren Zevon, Roger Waters and the Fagen/Becker combo from Steely Dan.

    Give him a shot... I listed a few songs to check out in my post. I obviously agree with a lot of the "traditional" songwriters listed in this thread, so I figured I would mix it up a bit and throw in someone from my generation. Almost a "dark horse" candidate. "Lose Yourself" is probably the best song to come out in the 2000s, of any genre

    Great thread
