What are your favorite albums in terms of their lyrics? I just whipped up mine just now because I was curious how it would turn out (this is pretty rough):
1. OK Computer
2. Hunky Dory
3. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
4. Violent Femmes
5. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
6. Pet Sounds
7. Kid A
8. Born to Run
9. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
10. Funeral
Mine are more focused on the substance of the lyrics, rather than their style (Dylan being an artist notably not on the list). Born to Run is obvious exception to that rule on this list. _________________ My top songs of the 2010s

Lyrics are probably the most important part of a song for me so forgive me for picking my favourite two albums, The Smiths' self titled and The Streets' Original Pirate Material, these two albums mean the fucking world to me.
I saw Original Pirate Material on vinyl in Urban Outfitters today and it was sort of cool but sort of disgusting also. _________________ Shut up mate you're boring!

The Moon and Antarctica
Helplessness Blues
Sufjan Stevens' religious themes are quite enjoyable, despite my being an atheist. mewithoutyou's It's All False! also has a very interesting parables and fables concept.
Also, "I don't know but I've been told, you never die and you never grow old" off TMaA is pretty fucking amazing.
The Moon & Antarctica
Aenima
OK Computer
Dark Side of the Moon, Animals (though I have my reservations in regards to the whole concept... seems a bit.. plastic? Calculated? And in the way that it doesn't contribute to the overall greatness of the album like in The Wall's case.
