I'd say Roger Waters, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Mikael Akerfeldt. And Loreena McKennitt.

He did write some good songs, didn't he?

Curt Kirkwood is easily one of my favorites.

Check out "Plateau":

Quote:Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

And my favorite "The Mighty" which is all about the number 0:

Quote:Can't seem to see it
Don't seem to care
How you supposed to take it
There's nothing there
Nothing there at all
The invisible hero
But you can write it on the wall
The mighty zero
It's just a number
You can count it on your hand
I still don't seem to get it
There's nothing to understand

Another one of my favorites is Buzz Osborne, here is his undisputed lyrical peak:

Quote:Los ticka toe rest
Might like a sender doe ree
Your make a doll a ray day sender bright like a penelty
Exi-tease my ray day member half lost a beat away
Purst in like a one way sender war give a heart like a fay

But those are just the unique lyricists I like. Bob Mould, Wayne Coyne, Michael Gira, and D. Boon are excellent as well.

I can't understand King Buzzo's lyrics for the life of me. Just reading them turns my brain to jelly.
