    Anyone like Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes? Hes not a great singer but his lyrics are some of the best lyrics I have heard.

    True. He isn't the best singer at all, but this is compensated by his exeptional talents as a lyricist. And I love it how he tells a story while singing. I like the song Lua the most.

    i find him to be a great singer, and he's got to be one of the best songwriters out there. i love the man/band, one of my favourites.

    Yeah I adore Bright Eyes. I think Conor is a wicked singer, he's definitely unusual but in a very good way.

    and yeah his lyrics rock.

    Lua is a wicked, wicked song. And I've been listening to First Day Of My Life a lot lately, it's just gorgeous.

    I love Bright Eyes, and Conor is a great singer in his own right. He pours true emotion into his songs through his vocals, aswell as the music and lyrics.
    It's hard to put into words why I love Bright Eyes so much, but Conor is definitely one of my major influences as a musician.

    ah, so true. Has anyone seen the performance he did of "When the President Talks to God" on Leno?

    such a great protest song. And kind of funny considering that Dubya apparently admitted invading Iraq under orders from God.

    Conor is amazing. I love his voice, and his lyrics.

    My favorite song is Something Vague.
