I'd be interested to know how important lyrics are to you in a song/album, what type/style of lyrics you prefer and favourite lines..

Often good melodies can cover-up poor lyrics. Sometimes good lyrics can overcome poor melodies. Great songs usually have both great lyrics and melodies.

entirely depends on the genre
Most important: Rap
Least important: Jazz, obviously.

Sometimes the lyrics make the songs, like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen...
Sometimes it doesn't matter so much (Metallica)
