Yeah we usually discuss all bands musically most of the time.But We know that the quality of the music can effect our opinion about the lyrics. But this time try to overlook that and just judge a band based on what they do lyrically !

Paul Simon's got some of the most beautiful lyrics I've heard, most notably in Graceland and Brdge Over Troubled Water. Kansas writes fantastic lyrics time and time again. Dust in the Wind, Carry On Wayward Son, The Wall... and I've always been a fan of the lyrics of Gorillaz.

The Mountain Goats don't get enough fucking respect on this site.
Off of that:
The Magnetic Fields
Sebadoh (besides most of the Gaffney stuff)
Andrew Jackson Jihad
New Pornographers
The Microphones
Slint
Morphine
About 35% of Beck's work (I don't like the Sea Change lyrics for the most part)
Maybe Minutemen?

I have a hard time calling it a band. Darnielle is a phenomenal lyricist
