Songs that don't rhyme. The only one I can think of is Simon & Garfunkel's America. There are others, I'm sure, but what are they

If you don't count rhying a word with itself... a lot of new stuff.

Most Pink Floyd does not rhyme at all.

More recently Iron and Wine doesn't rhyme very often.

Of the new CDs I've gotten only about half have rhyming that is at all consistent.

I'm not as well versed in Pink Floyd as I ought to be, but I can't come up with any that really don't rhyme and are more than 1 repeated line.

Like, goddamned near all of the Miss Saigon soundtrack, which is just dumb.

I... you know I have the highest respect for you as a musician, and I'll admit to never having heard Miss Saigon, but I just looked at the lyrics to every song and I don't think there's a single one that doesn't rhyme.

Rhyme? Oh yes, rhyme! In my defense, that statement wasn't really backed up by evidence, just the impression I had when listening to the soundtrack. They have a lot of people just sing-saying stuff.

"In my life" has only one straight up rhyme to my knowledge.

Also, Thomas Newman's Road to Perdition has no rhymes.

Pulp lyrics. Or Belle & Sebastian.

Thanks! I will check them out.

Most Iron and Wine - try Woman King, for one (I'm pretty sure that doesn't rhyme, although I haven't listened to it for a while).

[salieri]

Indeed it does not. Thanks!
