The songs which most appeal to me because of their lyrics are A Real Man - Todd Rungren (ex. Initiation) and John Wetton/co-author's Wateroo 6.02 (ex. UK's Danger Money). And then Pete Brown (usually in collaboraiton with Jack Bruce) has to be be up there.
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

I'll say...Neal Peart and Daniel Gildenlow. Nothing alike, I know, but I think they're both absolutely outstanding in their own way.

Tough one. Oh wait, not

For me, surely, Gabriel with mind blowing genesis works (especially the entire lamb and supper's ready), Zappa (no comments), and also Peter Sinfield, who provided In the Court of the Crimson King with amazing lyrics.
