david berman is a great writer, but i havnt liked any silver jews records since their first, he should stick to poetry i think.

i actually think sonic youth is often overlooked for the brilliance of their lyrics, all three, kim, lee, and thurston, are accomplished poets, but its probably because their contribution to the guitar is far more substantial.

hendrix also had this problem, his lyrics were beautiful at times, but his guitar playing far overshadowed his lyrics.
