Answers: Personally I like the Doors, Rush and Bruce Springsteen.

Frank Zappa. They range from the surreal to the comedic to the tragic. A vastly underrated genius.

John K Samson from "The Weakerthans"
Check out Left And Leaving, One Great City, and My Favourite Chords!

The Maine

Streetlight Manifesto
Big D & The Kids Table
Led Zepp
Rehab
Moonshine Bandits
Dispatch
Anti-Flag
Jedi Mind Tricks
NoFX
Rage Against the Machine
System of a Down (And Serj Tankians solo stuff)

These are all excellent bands with lyrics that are both thought provoking and just sound awesome, some of them are obvious but look up any of the bands you don't recognize. I'm a music major in college so i have a pretty broad span, don't hate to you've heard em.

Fleetwood Mac!

EVERY members knows their stuff!

They are all talented songwriters. Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christie McVie are also very talented lyricists. I mean: "Dreams" "Go your Own Way" "You Make Loving Fun" "Hold Me" "Gypsy" (and my personal favorite) "Sara", you can't go wrong with those.

I also think that Eminem has some of the most genius lyrics out there. His lyrics really speak to me. "Rockbottom" "Mockingbird" "Lose Yourself" "Sing for the Moment" "Stan", they are some of the most moving lyrics ever written.

Robert Smith has also done some amazing lyricial work, though some songs are really ambiguous and even ridiculous... like "Icing Sugar" or "The Walk" hehehe... the '80s gave birth to some trippy songs.

However, "Cold" "Prayers for Rain" "Fascination Street" "Lullaby" (pretty much all of Disintegration and most of the Pornography album, plus some great ones on the Kiss Me album - ie: "Just Like Heaven") they are all lyrical masterpeices.

Theatre of Tragedy x) No one will agree with me though,

for the moment I'm really into Pearl Jam.

I do like the older Springsteen stuff but I think he has become too preachy. I get the feeling his next song is gonna be "pick up your bath robe and cut the lawn".
