None. Most lyric-sites probably couldn't comprehend the stuff I listen to. So why bother?

if the music you listen to is a bunch of guys with over powered amps then I agree.

you can never hear what they are saying anyway.

Great interface and search engine.  Not the most songs in the database but you can search by lyric phrase or scattered words.

I got some pretty rowdy stuff in my collection and I'm left with about 400 tracks (TT Quick, Brand New Sin, Eyehategod etc) that I may as well give up on.

Two sites that filled a lot of gaps for me were:
http://www.sing365.com
and
http://www.darklyrics.com (for the more rowdy stuff)

They all seem to copy each other anyway.  This is very annoying when some dimwit has submitted the wrong lyrics, and you keep getting the same incorrect lyrics on each of 5 or 6 sites you check.  Why can't people read liner notes?  Oh, that's right--they probably don't have them because they didn't buy the CD.

None of them.  I prefer to use your plugin to find lyrics, but lately (with MC 9.1) that seems to be not so reliable.  So, if I'm manually searching for lyrics, I always just do a Google search:

lyrics ("artist name") ("song name")

...And then choose one or two of the top hits at random.  Usually, they are all identical anyway.

So, my pick for "best lyrics database" is Google!   :D

(Actually, I also like leoslyrics.com, if given the choice.)
