Rock and roll has definitely had many great poets over the last few decades. The likes of Paul Weller, Morrissey, Bob Dylan and John Lennon have all been known for their incredible lyrics and their ability to use music as social commentary. However, since Morrissey and Weller in the '80s and Thom Yorke and Jarvis Cocker in the '90s, who's been rock and roll's leading voice and most clever tongue for our generation? For me, that's an easy question. Alex Turner, lead singer of Arctic Monkeys and co-frontman of The Last Shadow Puppets, takes the cake.

He began his career as an awkward, love-obsessed teenage lad from Sheffield and has now become the confident, iconic crooner with his sharp quiff and leather jacket that we all know and love. From 2006, with Arctic Monkeys' first official releases, to 2016 with Turner's latest album as a member of TLSP, Turner's lyrics have the vocabulary, the wit and the charm to take on any of his legendary predecessors. Here are 25 of my favorite Alex Turner lyrics, spanning his work with Arctic Monkeys, TLSP and his lone solo EP.
