What artist or group with great instrumentals would you like more if they had better lyrics? (self.music)

Van Halen is my first choice. They have amazing riffs and intros, but their lyrics are misogynistic and trashy in general.

My brain doesn't really process lyrics. Vocals are just another instrument to me.

This band GUNSHIP.

They release instrumental versions of their albums and I buy those.

I can't stand the singing, the style of singing as well as the lyrics.

Fucking GUNSHIP, so good, but also so annoying that I only like the instrumentals.

The Midnight is like gunship with good lyrics. And more sax.

Psychadaelic era rock, almost all of it. Musically great, but the lyrics are just a hippie stream of consciousness.

Even the Beatles are bad for this. I love a lot of their hippie-era songs but the lyrics...uuugh....

AC/DC. I hate the singer's voice so much.

I mean, the lyrics are pretty fire already. I'm not complaining, I just wanted to share something cool.
