Is he really that bad?
I only have 2 albums that involved him and I never paid attention to the lyrics because they bored me anyway.

Rob 2, I think I'm going to promote you to Rob 1. You joined before Epi, it's not your fault I learned your name is Rob later!

He's not exactly good. A bit of a 'look Skippy, it rhymes!!!' mentality and his lyrics don't really have any particular qualities. His earlier lyrics are a sight more convincing than his latest ones... mainly because he's not trying to address issues he doesn't really understand. Edit: to be fair, there are about half a dozen lyricists who really are good, rather than just interesting, fitting or fluent, and maybe only three or four in 'prog' and those three or four aren't terribly consistent.

I see. I prefer when the rhymes flow nicely, when you don't even hear them, basically.
I hate it when perfectly good melodies get ruined by a lame rhyme.

Should I pay $58 to see Tchaikovsky and Bartok performed by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra?

He isn't a favorite of mine. For some odd reason I compare him to Waters, which is a pretty tough match.

Yeah, the violinist won a Grammy or something lame like that so they can charge more. The cheapest ticket available is $43 (a lot of it is sold out so I don't know what the cheapest overall was), but I figured that if I'm going to spend money to go to a concert, I may as well not be sitting at the back of hall.

Never spent more than 25 euros on a classical concert ticket. Even at great names.
